Back to the Grind

Vacations are great and, as much as I love coming back to my beautiful bed, I still wish life was just one big vacation. I don’t think I had a lot of expectations for Washington, D.C. except for the fact that Frances scored us a White House tour and that I expected to get extremely drunk at her birthday party. Ha.

I accomplished only a handful of things while on vacation, but my happiest moment was definitely having a hot dog from a cart! I know, not on the list, but maybe should have been. Ha!
