Vacation!

Since I am SOO far behind, I will really be trying to play catch up this week! First up, DC! In November, my husband Drew & I went to Washington DC for our 2nd anniversary trip. We had a blast!! Here we are at Mt. Vernon. Aren't we cute?! :)

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier 

 Arlington National Cemetery

 Drew & the Washington Monument. It was closed due to the recent earthquake they had. We could see tiny cracks running up it.

 Georgetown Cupcake of course! We actually went here twice! SOO good & worth every minute you spend in line. It's nice that the cupcakes actually live up to their hype!!

 George Washington's house at Mount Vernon

 The Capital

 Pretty good picture for an IPhone :)

 Of course! Doesn't his new jacket look good?! I might have "helped" pick it out.

 My handsome hubby took my ice skating in the park! Only us- he's skating in a tshirt & sweating but I'm in my long coat, scarves & gloves :)

I'll leave you with this - Enjoying a strawberry cupcake from Georgetown Cupcakes!

Happy Anniversary to US!

Drew & I celebrated our second wedding anniversary on September 26. We decided to head to our nation's capital to celebrate! But because he is a teacher, that meant we had to wait until Thanksgiving to go. No problem, it was still amazing! Here are some pictures from our trip!

Our first stop, Arlington National Cemetery.

Incredible

 The White House

 George Washington's Estate- Mount Vernon

 My cousin Rhett & his now fiance Anne. She was a fantastic tour guide!

 How cute are we?! :)

Visiting all the monuments

Somehow we always end up with a ton of pictures of Drew wherever we are! I told him that our future children will be flipping through our albums one day wondering if mommy even got to go on the trip!

Here is one of the best stops that we made. Georgetown Cupcakes! Also known as DC Cupcakes on TLC. Let me tell you, these cupcakes were fantastic!! And completely worth the wait in line (even though ours wasn't that long!)

You place your order at the counter & they give you a receipt with a number on it. Then the workers box them up for you & call you to come pick them up.

Be jealous! Drew & I split a box of 6. Okay, 4 were for me & he got 2! Our choices were L-R, T-B, strawberry, pumpkin spice, caramel apple, peanut butter fudge, vanilla birthday & another strawberry.

I really can't tell you which one was my favorite! Since I'm not a chocolate eater, I'd say it was a very close tie between the strawberry & pumpkin spice!

Do you see the size of these things?! They have to be huge not to fit in my big mouth!!

 Here's my handsome husband on our last day. We didn't want to leave!! It was a great city & we had an amazing time!!



World Traveler

Venice, Italy

Here's a couple of pictures to explain my absence lately. I have been doing lots of traveling! Part for work (yes, I have the best job ever!) & some of it personal. Here's some of my favorite shots!

I always joke with my husband that all these old, amazing & beautiful churches almost make this Baptist girl want to be a Catholic! 

Awesome!

The Cathedral in Florence. The 4th largest Catholic church in the world. It was breathtaking!

 I loved Florence!!

My favorite trip this summer is the one I got to take with my husband! Here's Drew & I in Times Square.

Drew loves the Yankees! We sat in really great seats in right field. SOO much fun!

I was loving this Barbie foosball table at FAO Schwartz. Too bad I don't have an extra $25,000 laying around!

Drew at the American Museum of Natural History. :)

Even though I've been so many awesome places & done so many cool things this summer, I am soo glad to be home! I don't have any more major traveling scheduled until November, so maybe I can get settled back into my routine & catch up with my cupcakes, crafts & DVR!
