In Hot Water

This weekend we went to my friend's house on Lake Anna. The lake is used to cool a nuclear power plant so the water's temperature was about 80 degrees. Weird huh? Don't worry, nobody came out with a third eye or anything like that. It's safe.

We had a great time swimming, tubing and wake boarding. Mike attempted the wake boarding while I relaxed on the boat. *Side note: It's highly unlikely that you'll see me in a bathing suit picture, so I hope you don't mind the toes.

Overall it was a great weekend of water activities and hanging out with friends.

How was your weekend?

Adventures of a 30-year-old Girl: Part 1

7.3.09

Today we visited Coventry Village, OH. While waiting for a table at Tommy's Restaurant, we played in this retro toy store (more like a toy museum) called Big Fun. They have grand collections of every kind of toy you can think of. My personal favorites: Care Bears, My Little Pony, Strawberry Shortcake, He-Man...


7.4.09

On the 4th of July we walked down to the neighborhood parade, played croquet and watched fireworks on the lake.


7.5.09

Visited another little town called Peninsula. Gorgeous views and a darling antique shop (see owl pin below).



7.6.09

Today I said farewell to my 20's. This delicious snickers ice cream cake cheered me up.


Side Note: My mother-in-law has a collection of vintage hats that her grandmother made in the 30's and 40's. How cool is that! Of course I had to try them all on (not sharing those photos).

D.C. Richmond Trip

Last week I took a trip to D.C. and Richmond to visit with my good friend Monica and her sweet baby boy, Hudson. We had a great time shopping, eating good food and laughing it up. As an added bonus, my other good friend Erin and her darling daughter, Lillie were also in town. Baby bonanza!

In Falls Church we ordered take-out at my favorite vegetarian restaurant, Sunflower, then picked up tasty bubble drinks (avocado, strawberry, lychee) in Eden Center. The donuts reminded me of Homer Simpson.

Lastly, here are some goodies I discovered on Cary Street in Richmond:

Gnome Onesie - World of Mirth
California-themed charm bracelet - vintage shop
(I might keep as is or refashion it)
Pin & Mug - Mongrel
