I hosted my DC girls for a long weekend of fun. I call them DC girls, but no one actually lives there anymore, nor did they ever. Alisha and I met in Philadelphia during business school. Amy was Alisha's roommate in college and she lived in Virginia during the time we were in DC so we got to be good friends. These were the same two ladies who went to Paris with me last December. Mara lives in Chicago and went to college with Alisha and Amy. It was such a treat to have everyone out to Sullivan's Island. Finn especially loved it. He called everyone "the moms" and wanted to know why they weren't up when he got up.
This weekend is one of many weekends like this we have planned. A while back, we made a pact with each other that we would take at least one trip a year together (a minimum). To celebrate each other, our friendships and a few days of child-free activities and conversations! Only two rules: no mom-clothes and no kids! Well, I sort of broke the second rule since Finn was ever-present, but Mark helped out and planned many daddy/Finn activities so we could have time to ourselves. It was the perfect weekend--we hit the beach, a swanky downtown restaurant (with nary a chicken nugget or grilled cheese sandwich in sight), but mainly we just hung around and drank wine and made each other laugh. I cannot wait for our next adventure, where ever it may be!
