Happy Birthday Athena!!!

The pretty princess she is

Eating Birthday Cake!

I can't believe Athena was 11 years old in January and in April she has been part of our family since I was 21......that was so many years ago, it's hard to remember! We went looking for a lab puppy and ended up with a Rottweiler/Chow Mix, but she has been the best dog...now if she'll only live forever :)

Until our next "birthday" adventure.....

Girls Weekend

Before I fell in love with Facebook there was a website for Mommy's called Cafe Mom that I cam across which had groups you could join. I found one called Pen Pals, and I thought this should be interesting as I had a Pen Pal from France in High School and loved writing back and forth. So I thought what the heck.....and that's where I met my now good friend, April who lives near DC.

We started writing back and forth through email and then while in Washington DC for our 2009 vacation we met. Don't think I meet friends all the time online, I really don't but April is different we have a lot in common and she keeps me sane even though it's through email and texting. She is very special to me, and I am so glad I took the leap and decided to write her and she decided to write me back!

So last year we decided we were going to have Girl's Weekend and met in Somerset, PA....which is the where the site for the Flight 93 Memorial is located....and as we found is the only exciting thing in Somerset!!! Even though it was only a 2 day trip we had a blast and decided this was something we were definitely going to do again....which brings me to this year's trip.

Since April lives 30 minutes from Washington DC and I LOVE DC, I decided to book a flight and we are having our 2011 Girls Weekend in DC!!!!!!!!!

Since I am a Food Network Junkie, one place we have to go is Georgetown Cupcakes and if you have ever watched DC Cupcakes you know what I am talking about. Who wouldn't want one or two or a dozen of these delicious cupcakes......my mouth is watering just thinking about it.....

I can't wait!!! Since we saw the Flight 93 Memorial, and are in DC this year we are going to try to find the Pentagon Memorial and the Cherry Blossom's are hopefully still in bloom...something April says is awesome to see. Plus all the other fun stuff do eat and do in DC!!!!!

So the countdown has begun....and now it's just counting down the days until.....

Girl's Weekend!!!!

Until our next "girl's weekend" adventure......
