Trip to MD

This past weekend Rocky, Bella, and I traveled to MD to visit Steve's parents. I must say I thought it might be a little different without Steve being there, but from the moment I stepped through the door the two of them made me feel right at home. They both greeted me with warm smiles and big hugs! I knew I was in store for a great weekend with the two of them!

We had a traveled packed weekend to say the least!

On Friday, Sharon and I started our morning at the Thomas Scott Salon & Spa in Frederick, MD. I of course had an hour long massage and Sharon had a facial. After our relaxing Spa treatments we went to Tyson's Corner in McLean, VA to do some shopping (mainly window shopping, as the shopping in Tyson's is upscale shopping to say the least). We ate at this cool Sushi place right in the center of the mall. What was neat about it was that all of the Sushi was served on a conveyor belt and you grabbed what you wanted as it went by. It was so cool! After our "stressful" day of massages and shopping we headed back home where Dave met us with a bottle of wine and snacks. You can't go wrong with wine and snacks, it's every girl's love! We sat outside by a nice little fire, while Dave made Grouper on the grill! The dinner was great, but the company was even better!


Saturday was a day for welcoming baby Penny. Steve's friends from college, Pam & Jason are expecting their first baby on June 22nd (which happens to be Pam's Birthday, so we're keeping our fingers crossed that she comes on time). I've only been to baby showers that were expecting boys, and while they get a lot of cute stuff, nothing can come close to the frilly dresses that Pam got! Oh, it was a pink fiesta! Penny is going to be one stylish baby! I can't wait to meet her. I unfortunately didn't get any pictures of that day, but Pam looked amazing! She is going to be one hot mama!!!

Sunday was another fun filled day! We started our morning with going to church. Afterwards we headed for Washington DC. We decided to bring the little rascal, Rocky along for the trip too! We started the day off with light rain and cool temperatures, but just as we made it into DC the sun came out, and it turned out to be a great day! We decided to visit the Theodore Roosevelt Island located on the Potomac River. We took about a two mile walk around the island and then took some pictures in front the 17-foot sculpture of Theodore Roosevelt.




Afterwards, Dave & Sharon took Rocky and I to this little spot near Reagan Airport where you watch the planes come in for landing. It was so cool! The planes actually look like they might hit you! The place was filled with lots of spectators and Rocky even met some friends.



We made it home just in time for the rain and hail to hold off! We had another great meal, and then called it a night!

Thank you guys for showing me such a fun time! I can't wait to come back and see you again! You truly made me feel right at home!

Before I close though, I gotta add a picture of Bella. We can't forget about her!
