So, after a month of working every weekend, and a week of being hubby-less as Matt lived the life of the rich and famous in Italy, (cue those violins) I finally had a work-free, totally blissful weekend!
On Friday, Matt and I were able to meet Aunt Cathy in Arlington for a delicious lunch at
one of our favorite restaurants and got to show her our house—can't believe we didn't take a pic! Then, Friday night it was off to Bethesda to celebrate our good buddy Duke's birthday with one heck of a crab feast topped off by absolutely heavenly gelato, all planned by Superwoman Lucile, a.k.a. the Duchess!
On Saturday, Matt, Sam and I enjoyed—thanks to Sam packing extra water—a beautiful six-mile hike of Sugarloaf Mountain in Md., followed by a winery stop for snacks. Plus, I finally had a chance to catch up with household chores. (I know, the definition of exciting blog copy.)
To top things off, after dropping off Matt at Dulles—he has an orientation in Pittsburgh for his new job—I was able to kick back at the pool. Just wish I could have given my Dad a big Father's Day hug, should have made a trip up to Pa. I can't wait to see him and the rest of the Foor fam on Friday!
Isn't it amazing how a restful weekend (not to mention an impending vacay) after a busy, busy time can get you back to feeling like yourself again? It's almost better than a super-hot cup of Starbucks Italian Roast!
Anyway, here's a little peek at all the fun:
