Who Says You Can't Go Home?

Last week, I decided I needed out of DC and left for a couple of days. Being home and with my family was exactly what I needed and I was even able to face what seemed like the millionth round of snow a couple of days after I returned to the District. 

I got off the plane and drove around Palm Beach for a bit before I met my mom. I sat on a bench near the ocean and took in this gorgeous view. 

I took a picture of this adorable bird too...if you look closely, you can see the Breakers hotel in the background. 

My mom indulged me and took me to Toojay's for lunch two days in a row. The second day, we drove over the Lake Worth Bridge to take the scenic (A1A) route back to her apartment building.

The Intercoastal Waterway is so pretty. I also fell into it when I was in kindergarten...long story. 

My flight home was delayed, so I ended up spending an extra night at home (which not-so-secretly made me really happy.) 

My mom and sister and I went to dinner at City Cellar in CityPlace and spent so much time checking out all the awesome stuff in Sloan's Ice Cream that we didn't get...ice cream. 

I am so fortunate that I have my amazing family and this beautiful place to come home to. I want to go back as soon as I can!!

Fun Birthday Gifts

I got some great gifts for my birthday that I can't stop using...and one of them was from myself! (Oh well.)

I also love this picture that Dude and I took during a quick trip to Richmond last week. It's always fun to be there!
