Recently I went on a business trip
to my old stomping grounds
of Washington D.C.

I brought along a dear friend
and stayed an extra day
to enjoy the sights, shops, and sweets.

Donald Rumsfeld was on our flight
from Chicago to DCA!

Our hotel,
the Hotel Palomar.

Our hotel was located across the street
from my mom’s old apartment.

On the first night we were awoken
to a (very) loud fire alarm.
Thankfully, it wasn’t anything serious.
But we still had to exit the building,
down the stairwell & across the street.
In our pajamas.

See, here’s Laura & me.
In our mumus.
Haha.

A morning & afternoon in Georgetown.

A yummy vintage shop.

We went to Georgetown Cupcakes,
which has it’s own reality show called
DC Cupcakes on TLC.

A few blocks away,
I realized we were walking next to
the three stars of the show.
I was a dork
and got a picture.

We found the Exorcist stairs.

We had cocktails at the amazing
W Hotel rooftop bar.

Watermelon Fiz & Strawberry Lemonade.
Adult versions, of course.

It was a day that we counted down to for months.
It was a game that we should have won.
Sadly, it was a game that we lost.

Despite the immense disappointment
the excitement that surrounded the game
was incredible.

Here’s the fun we had
supporting our Hogs.
Win or lose.

The excitement invaded the whole weekend.
With friends in from out of town
and a party at Jill & Ben’s.

And on to the game!
Woke up bright & early
to eat sausage balls
and tailgate.
With Hogs Guy.

Meet Hogs Guy.
And his intense love for the Arkansas Razorbacks.

Showing off his (Razorback) belt buckle.

Oh.
He was everywhere.

Good friends were
everywhere too.

Looking back.
Despite the loss,
the times were good.

Kids even played beer pong.

And we even got a glimpse of
Ryan Mallett.

Todd & most of my friends
went to the game.
But a few of us girls
walked over to Smoke & Barrel
to eat our cupcakes, drink a beer, & watch it on the big screen.

If only
we had won.
That’s the only way
the day could have
been any better.

Oh gosh.

I’m so behind on blogging,
I don’t even know where to begin.

My days have been busy with work
and my nights have been busy with
watching Big Brother with Todd.

Just a few photos from
the last couple of weeks…

Budget evening at Kingfish.

PB&J and PBR

iPhone addicts

Burger Beer

Rachel brought us girls
sunglasses from Italy!

… and GL this lovely shirt.

Other night shots.

We went to the drive-in movies,
which is just right down the road from our home.

Front porches & the farmers market.

I also applied for my very first passport!
It’s long overdue, but I’m way excited about it.

That’s all she wrote
for now.

Have a sweet holiday weekend!

This weekend marks
the third weekend
in a row
that I’ve taken
a road trip outta town.

Little Rock, Arkansas
was the target this time around.
Cory Branan set up
a last minute show,
so we made a night of it.

Checked into the Hilton
where we made our own
hotel bar.

Dinner at Pizza D’s.

Drinks, tunes, & Spiderman pop rocks
at White Water Tavern.

At the show I met Starr Crow,
a fellow Arkansas vintage seller & blogger!
It was so great to talk to someone face to face about
vintage,
photography,
and all the fashion bloggers we follow.
Check out her blog and Etsy shop!

Cory finally went on…

… and onto the bar.

Before the night was done…
we jumped for joy.
(and for more beer)

We devoured a fourth meal back at the hotel.

And at three am
we spent five minutes
nervously trying to jump the fence
to the hotel pool.
When all of the sudden
we watched two dudes
just open the gate
and walk right in.
Funniest part of the evening right there.

After just a few hours of
restless hotel sleep
and an 11 o’clock checkout time,
we headed home
tired, but happy.
