Hello my friends! Let the countdown begin... the birthday countdown that is! The
big day is in less than 48 hours away! Almost a quarter of a century old. Feel old yet fam? I don't! I love birthdays. Not just my birthday (although it is on the top of my list), but all birthdays. Birthdays are special because out of 365 days, there is one day set aside for just you (and my cousin Cammie that shares my birthday- Happy Birthday sweet Cammie). One day to feel special, no matter what else chaotic or otherwise is going on. One day to smile and need absolutely no reason to do so. One day to sit back and appreciate everyone in your life that loves you and goes the extra mile to show you just that- whether it be by the cutest puppy Weimreiner card sent in the mail three days early because they planned ahead for you, or a jacket that you have wanted for years because he knows that you get cold so easily, or a special weekend trip planned to one of your favorite cities just to be able to be together as a family. That's why I love birthdays. Not just because its ALL about me-although that is a pretty good reason-jk jk :)

So, I'm busy prepping for my birthday weekend. My parents have planned a great weekend trip to Washington DC for us. We are meeting there tomorrow and will be staying in the district, doing touristy things like going to the National Geographic Museum to see the traveling Chinese Warriors exhibit.

Even though eating is quite the challenge recently, I can't exactly skip meals anymore or my body lets me know IMMEDIATELY! I will be sure to have a granola bar with me at all times- just in case. I'm hoping with a little planning ahead, we can avoid any MS (morning sickness) meltdowns.
Will have lots to tell you when we're back. Enjoy my birthday weekend. Sorry it won't be better weather for all you fellow Virginians. I just can't do it all and still plan a fabulous weekend... :)
So fun! What a great weekend to be in D.C. and you are just in time for the beautiful Cherry Blossom Festival! It starts this Saturday and the trees are already blooming! It is supposed to be nice (but cold) on Saturday so you will have perfect weather to be touristy! If you are looking for a classic DC place to eat, its a bit of a "hole in the wall" by appearance standards, but they have the best milkshakes, burgers and fries around, check out Ollie's Trolley at the corner of 12th and E street - http://www.olliestrolleydc.com/

Thanks Christi! We are staying at 11th and E and I saw that place online but wondered. We might just check it out! I have created a 3 ring binder of menu choices and locations. Awfully nerdy of me, but I dont want to get caught without a meal! Yall should join us for shakes.
