Vacation on So Much to Smile About

The Weekend

Tue, 05 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend! I had an absolutely amazing time in the Adirondacks with friends and then in NYC for the 4th. I laid out on the dock in the mountains, tried out paddleboarding, ate lots of delicious food, shopped in SoHo and stayed in Brooklyn. And now I’m back in DC and am VERY slowly getting back into the swing of things! But it’s going to be a great week!

Spring Break

While I certainly appreciate having today off for President’s day, I miss the days when we’d get a whole week for spring break. Who wants a vacation?

It’s cold and there is talk of snow, and all I want to do is vacation somewhere warm!

California Dreaming

Tue, 18 Jan 2011 00:00:00 +0000

While I was trying not to slip and fall on the ice in DC, my parents and siblings were enjoying their California vacation. Though they all deserved a lovely family trip, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t jealous. Sunshine, beaches, palm trees… nothing sounds better right now. With no vacation in sight, I’ll just have to continue dreaming, and tough out the gray, gloomy, icy, miserable weather here.

Adirondack Vacation

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 00:00:00 +0000

The first weekend in August I flew up to the Adirondack’s to visit my childhood best friend while she was back from China. Her family has a summer house that is part of a camp of homes built by their great-great-great-grandfather. It is so relaxing and beautiful to be up there, and of course, it was wonderful to see my best friend after over a year!
