Girls Weekend In D.C. with Kristyna and Diana!



Last Thursday, I headed up to Washington, D.C., for a girls weekend! My friend Diana lives in the city and my friend Kristyna, who lives in Chicago and was flying in, were having a girls weekend...just the 3 of us!!! First things first, IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!

Thursday after I arrived, Kory and Diana cooked an amazing dinner! Then Diana and I made a sign for Kristyna and set off for National Airport to pick her up!!! Kristyna's flight arrived on time and girls weekend had officially begun when she stepped into Diana's car!!!!

Thursday night: Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, until early early early Friday morning!!! (Don't judge, it's what girls do!!! Ha! Ha! Ha!)

Friday: Woke up....showered, dressed, hopped on metro, grabbed quick bite to eat at Dunkin' Donuts - and off to the NEWSEUM!!! Diana and I had been, but we both enjoyed it again - and Kristyna who works in the news we knew would love it, and we were right...she loved it! After leaving there dinner, drinks, and convo at R.F.D. Then off on a walking tour of all the monuments/memorials...leaving chinatown where R.F.D. was and headed towards Thomas Jefferson - saw great view of Capitol....then walked to Thomas Jefferson Memorial, then F.D.R. Memorial, then Abraham Lincoln Memorial, then WWII Memorial, then Washington Monument - and passed the White House on our way back to the metro. Then home and talking and sleep.

Saturday: Woke up...showered, dressed, hopped on metro, grabbed quick drink @ Starbucks in Chinatown, watched movie FAME, National Book Festival on the Mall, American History Smithsonian, Rocket Bar (oh my gosh - i love this bar!!!!), metro home, pizza (best frickin' pizza ever is located between Diana and Kory's apartment and metro stop so picked it up on way home), baked cookies, card and board games with all the girls, Kory, and Kory and Diana's friend Neil (he and his wife hail from Bama...whoop whoop)....talking and sleep!

Sunday: Woke up....showered, dressed, packed up, drove to Eastern Market, shopped and ate, met Kristyna and Diana's friend randomly on sidewalk - Brooke - so nice, drove to Georgetown, got cupcakes @ Georgetown Bakery - they won best cupcake place in D.C. and were on the TODAY show (I didn't love mine - I think my icing was cream cheese - hate cream cheese icing! Still waiting on Matt to try the 2 I brought home for him and to give me his opinion), met James for lunch in Georgetown, said goodbye to Kristyna and Diana (they walked around Georgetown - then Kristyna took metro to National and Diana took metro to hang with her brother), drove James back to his apartment in Arlington, drove home to Matt and Molly (took a long time because of storms and bad accident on Interstate 66)!

It was a busy weekend, but so much fun!!! I had a blast with Kristyna and Diana!!!!!

Sounds like so much fun! :) You're welcome to come and visit Cincy any time! Of course it would have to be a Kelly, Mer, and Will weekend...but he's fun, too! We need a phone date ASAP!

if matt doesn't try his cupcakes soon, i think you should just eat them...but that is the recently pregnant-and obsessed-with-cupcakes woman in me saying that.
