post #60 - Friday Five

Happy Friday!! I hope you're all having a great wrap-up to the week! Here are my favorite things this Friday...

1. Apothic Red Wine!

Delicious weeknight wine! In fact...one of my favorite things... (pun intended)

2. The Sound of Music - Live!

This is bringing back so many memories! I'm a huge Carrie Underwood fan and she makes the most perfect Maria!

3. Fresh Sugar Lip Glosses

I got two of these minis from Jordan's mom last Christmas in my stocking. At first I was a little apprehensive because of the dark tints - I have them in Plum and Berry, and they were a little brighter & darker than what I normally wear on my lips. I've been wearing them every day recently and love the color and softness of them! I can't wait to add more of these to my collection.

4. Christmas Cards!

Our Christmas cards are finally in! I can't wait to get them mailed out (before Sunday!) Stay tuned for a preview before Christmas!!

5. A Saturday with N-o-t-h-i-n-g Planned!

I leave Sunday morning for my work trip, so Saturday is just going to be spent packing and snuggling with Jo & Milly. After my work division's Christmas party on Friday night, I can't wait to finally have a laid back Saturday!

Don't forget to follow along on Instagram over the next few weeks if you want to see pictures from my trip! My posts may be a little sporadic, but looking forward to airport-reading all of your fun posts!

post #50 - Washington, DC Review

50 Posts!! Is this a milestone? I think so!

As I mentioned in post #49, I spent Wednesday-Sunday of last week in Washington, DC. I hadn't been there in many years, and when I found out that I was going for work Wednesday-Friday, I decided to stay the weekend and hang out with my college roommate. We had such a great time!

Friday Night -

Went to an awesome tapas dinner, then drove around town.

{beautiful capital}

Saturday

Went for a walk through the awesome fall trees to Georgetown. We got coffee & a cupcake and chatted.

{best. pumpkin. ever.}

{cupcake deliciousness from baked & wired}

{coffee can be beautiful, what?}

Then, we headed back, got ready, and headed to Disco Brunch at Level One. We saw this man along the way - only in the city!

{yummy, cheesy hash brown casserole with chopped applewood bacon, sour cream, scallions, a whole bunch of cheese, and a fried egg on top. i also added guacamole.}

I had the bottomless mimosa (are you surprised?) and the "Gurl, It's a Brunch Bowl." Seriously, one of the yummiest breakfast items I've had in a long time! Our service was great and I had a fun time getting to know Polly's friends.

After that, we hopped around to a few fun places. We ended up going to a wine and cookie tasting called Cookies & Corks. Best idea ever, right?! By that point, we had been running around the city for most of the day. The tasting paired different wines with different cookies, and all were delicious!

All in all, we had a wonderful time! It was so much fun hanging out and catching up. Is it possible to still be recovering?

I'm definitely still catching up on sleep!

Check back tomorrow for my Five on Friday! Don't forget to follow along on Facebook, BlogLovin, GFC, etc! :-)
