Having Julia home on break is like getting a booster shot of happiness! We packed the time with our favorite things...
Rocklands,
Georgetown Cupcakes, ice skating, friends, family, and good food. Upon arrival, we headed straight for Rocklands and the three-meats platter! Julia brought Georgetown Cupcakes to her Friendsgiving brunch and enjoyed catching up with her Holton buddies. We met up with Ethan, Kathryn, Joan, Miriam, Katie, Ethan, and Aaron for ice skating. It was so nice to catch up with them. Julia also spent time with William in Georgetown (
Johnny Rockets) and for a post-Thanksgiving turkey dinner at his house.
Our 15.5-pound turkey turned out delicious and was gone by Saturday night. The shrimp was good too.
Wagshal's definitely makes it good and makes it easy. We started a puzzle featuring chocolate; however, it will have to wait until Julia's winter break to be completed. Thanks to Steven extending Julia's visit by a day, Julia was even able to spend time with Meme--extra-special bonus. Although we miss her terribly already, we are excited to see her again December 17. Yay!
Counting down her final days in DC... Julia is getting in as much cuddle time with Peanut Butter as possible, along with friends and family too. Julia spent time with the Holton crew at Cecily's. Lia and Julia went to a small Ethiopian restaurant near the concert venue, where they heard Everything Everything with Night Kitchen as the opener. William and Julia spent a hot afternoon hiking the Billy Goat Trail and then dinner and a movie at Tysons. Meme came over to bond with Peanut Butter and finalize our travel plans for Christmas 2016 in Barbados! Inbetween all of the fun activities, Julia and I have been binge watching, "Jane the Virgin." Love it! Thank you Sarah for the recommendation. We must finish all of the shows before Thursday!
