2-week roundup
Here's the latest with us:
Weekend One
I went to DC to visit Aly during the first weekend in May, and had a lovely time. Aly was a great tour guide and I got to meet some really cool friends of hers. Here we are in front of the FDR Memorial:
The weekend also held foot blisters, arm wrestling, leg wrestling, unsolicited beauty advice from strangers, dancing, shopping and haircuts. It was quite a physically demanding weekend. We muddled through:
But seriously: thank you, Aly, for spending your last weekend in DC with me! I had a great time!
More pictures can be found here, soon.
While I was gone, Christopher and Frank had a Boys' Weekend, which involved video games and football games, and resulted in pictures (and videos!) like this:
I'm sensing a pattern, here.
Weekend Two,
Then, on Mother's Day weekend we flew into Omaha (First Class, baby!), drove to Brookings, South Dakota for a marathon, drove to Ames, Iowa for another marathon, and then drove back to Omaha for the trip home. Frank describes the race portion of the trip on his blog here.
Christopher thought he could pull his usual shenanigans and scare me right before takeoff by showing me all of the possible survivable but harrowing emergencies we might face on the journey:
But I foiled his plans by taking advantage of a well-known perk of First Class: free beverages of all sorts. So I sipped my white wine, smiled, and had some of the most pleasant flights of my adult life.
Despite the constant rain, the threat of snow in South Dakota, and the hours of driving, we had a pretty good time!
Now we're back in town, counting down the "wakeups" until school is out and our reportedly very laid-back swim team season begins. I'm looking forward to the Christopher time and that we'll be able to travel without the pesky constraints of school. Yay!
