Washington, DC

I am totally behind, but better late than never right?

Before Thanksgiving I went to meet two beautiful new baby girls and visit my one of my best friends and my Mom's siblings. Let me tell you, it is the best time I have had in a very long time. Jess has lived in DC for a couple years now, and this was my first time to get to visit her. We lived together for 4 years, so it was about time we reverted back to old times. And that we did! She has a new baby so she was really busy but I totally chilled and relaxed on the couch and we literally just talked for hours and hours. It was so refreshing to just be comfortable with someone who knows me so well that I don't have to try or be nervous about what I say. Those are the friendships I treasure most. Anyway, sorry to get sappy. We got out and did stuff too. We went to a yummy restaurant of a guy on Top Chef. I don't watch the show but he sure was a good cook. He was hitting on the girls at the table next to us, so we got to see him in action. :) Great greasy burgers and milkshakes. We also did some shopping in Georgetown and strolling in Old Town. Here's a picture of us at the airport. We did awful at taking pictures. I was not ready to leave her or her cute baby!! I don't have any pictures of Madeline but I sure had fun with her. I could hold her all day and never give her back! Don't worry Jess, I won't actually take her.


I also got to meet my new cousin Lena. Isn't she presh?

All of my Mom's siblings were there, so we had a great time together too. Never a dull moment with the Eelkemas, that is a guarantee! They shopped and ate with Jess and me in Georgetown and I went to dinner with all of them at a Wolfgang Puck restaurant that's name is totally slipping my mind. We laughed and laughed. They are always entertaining! It was fun to be with Mom too. I have seen her a lot this month and will see her again in 2 weeks. I love it! This my mom and her sisters and me of course.



Like I said before, it was an amazing trip. I talked about it and missing my friend Jessica so much that Adam said maybe I should make it a standard trip every 3 months. Sounds good to me! Jess, I think you would get tired of me invading your space! All that to say, I had a fantastic time and am so glad I went. I have a new love for the city of DC too. Or maybe it's the people in it. All of that make it great. Love you guys!
