What a Wonderful World!!!

I'm on Vacation! I'm on Vaaaacaaatioooon! Can you tell I'm excited? Ok, here's the update on my trip so far.

Friday - Flew in to Dulles and met Mom at baggage claim. Came home and unpacked while mom played with the dog. Had dinner at 5 something!!! Then spend some time teasing my parents about being old. My good friend, who was supposed to be gone, called me. He wasn't gone yet, they decided to stay till Saturday so we went out for a couple of drinks. I met his honey and DJ surprised me by calling up or other friend Lori. She's a whole story in herself, so I'll have to write more on that later.

Saturday - Hmmmm let's see, I wore my pajamas all day long...

Sunday - Misty, who I've mentioned in the last 2 posts, came up here to do some house hunting. So, I met up with her and her new man over in Georgetown. He was nice. They make a really cute couple. And he has an engineering degree as well, so we spend some time talking about our respective jobs, and it was nice that we both understood what the other was saying. Misty just said "This is the most I've heard about what you do". Well, most people just ask what my company does and then their eyes glaze over as I start to describe it. So, unless someone has a technical background, I usually don't bother to go into it. On my way home, I drove by Historic Occoquan. If you’ve never been there, it’s just a small little “town” on the river that has a lot of shops and restaurants. It’s basically 3 streets by 3 streets. But, when I was younger, my friends and I used to go down here. There is a tiny park with a gazebo and a little dock that we used to go to. Plus some friends worked at Sea & Sea Co. right next door. Being back over there brought back a lot of memories…

Monday – Drove Mom to the airport, she’s going to Seattle to see my sister and my little niece. Of course I sent presents with my mom. My sister yelled at me for getting her too many presents last Christmas, so I’ve taken to sending her stuff all the time now! I guess I do it to spite my sister just a bit, but also just because I see cute things and I want my niece to have them. No to mention, I don’t have kids so I’m allowed to spoil my niece!!

So, that’s a summary of my trip so far. Yes, I’m still in my pajamas right now, but who cares! I’m on vacation…
