Good morning.......WOW...birthday festivities for a WEEK

cool....I love a party...so Happy Pre-Birthday Ed......
Sounds like everyone had a good weekend...and thus, so did we. Our little mini-getaway was nice, so out of the ordinary for us. We left on Saturday and went to Dulles Town Center Mall, had lunch at the Longhorn SteakHouse as I had a gc from there, it was wonderful. Went to the mall to Yankee Candle, and got my 'fix' shopping there

I love that place and our mall doesn't have one. We drove on to Alexandria, got settled in the room, watched the ballgame and BIL came and picked us up to take us to the dinner cruise. We drove by the Pentagon and it was so eery thinking of that plane coming across that highway and plowing into the building...what a sight that must have been for people on that road...and believe me, that road is always full of traffic!...anyway, enjoyed the cruise, good food, song, entertainment etc....so cool to get off the boat, call my BIL and he pulls up in front to pick us up....such service

Saved me $15 bucks parking plus the aggravation on getting there...DC has some weird streets.
Got up yesterday, and drove down the GW Parkway to Mt. Vernon (us and it seems about 50 million others) hadn't been there in at least 28 years, so it was fun. We did the tour and enjoyed walking around, it was so nice yesterday. Drove back up towards home, stopped for lunch and called it a day. It just was something different and a nice break for us. And as for worrying about how to dress, most people were "decked out" nicely, but there were a few in jeans, so see, worrying about what to wear wasn't worth the worry...but we looked very spiffy...
Pam, hope you get to play volleyball, but don't push it...
So, where is the party traveling to today?
