On Friday night we went out with some friends to celebrate one of their birthdays. When we got to the venue the hubby's aunt, uncle, cousins and baby were there waiting to see us. It was a nice surprise.
Saturday we had to get up early to head to my niece's First Communion. That was probably the most annoying part of our weekend. My bro and SIL already live pretty far away from us but we hit all kinds of construction traffic, etc so it took us over 2 hours to get there. The Hubby vowed to never go up there again. That was a fun ride, let me tell you. Actually, we were so hungry and delirious by the time we got there it was almost humorous...
Saturday evening we had a fund raiser to go to. It was to support a friend of ours' kids school. It was a wine and food tasting and silent auction and it was held on the roof top terrace of a well known D.C. law firm. The weather was amazing and the view was so great. It felt like you could reach out and touch the capitol! Unfortunately my picture does it no justice.
The food left a little to be desired, which kind of sucks, but whatever. I took a picture of this guy plating his dishes because it was so "food network challenge" and it looked to pretty and appealing. There was a line of people waiting to try this dish. Unfortunately, it was not good! HA!! After all that showmanship - he even threw salt over his shoulder, for effect no doubt, and yeah...not so good.
Sunday we spent the whole day outside. We had some friends and fam over and picked some yummy crabs and drank beer and margaritas in the afternoon sun. The pooch just gallivanted through the yard all day. Digging holes, chasing squirrels and running around with branch sized sticks. It was great. We were all exhausted by the end of the day.
Today came WAAAAAAAYY to quickly! I am so over being at work today. Who invented work anyway? So dumb...
Anyway, I hope you all had a great weekend too!

Agreed, work is dumb and should be outlawed!
The weekend sounds nice (well most of it anyway!)
