40th
This past weekend we all made a quick trip down to Va for Julie’s 40th bday.
Luck was with us and we made it down there no problem on the flight.
It was weekend full of friends. Friday Ellie and I had lunch at Chick’s with Connor and MJ. It was a beautiful day and it felt so good eating yummy food and hanging out on the deck in the warmth.
Kathe and Joey were kind enough to let us stay with them, so every night we had quality time full of good food and better conversation.
Sat. we had a short visit with baby Lily, I finally got to meet her and she truly is a cutie. Ken had time with Dave and we all met up for a cookout at the Kidd’s – the O’Shays and the Kidds. I couldn’t believe the weather it was warm and sunny and such a welcome change.
Sunday was Julie day. Kathe, Julie and I went for a cheeky girly brunch for Julie’s bday (Ken and Ellie went to another brunch with Thom, Beth, Cassie, Bobby, Rachel and Greg). No Frill never disappoints and we had a little shopping, bonding and cuddle time with Lily afterwards. It was so much fun just having the girls hang out like old time.
Monday saw us once again in a bad trying to get home place. A canceled flight, bad weather and over sold flights made us to decide to road trip it. A rental car and a 8 hour drive to Newark later finally found us back at our car and another 2 hour drive home. All in all it took us about 10 1/2 hours (including stopping for lunch on the Eastern Shore and changing cars in Newark) but we made it home without the stress of stand by.
Even with the getting home craziness it was such a wonderful weekend. We all needed a little warmth and friend recharge and we got it. Thank you to everyone!!
