East Coast Lovin'

Finally we went on vacation! Flights to DC on Virgin were ridiculously cheap over Easter week/weekend so we jumped at the opportunity. My cousin Katy and her boyfriend David were nice enough to let us stay at their swanky pad in Washington, DC for the past week. I hadn't been to DC since high school, and Patrick hadn't been there since middle school. We were stoked to finally experience the sights and museums as 'adults', and having the cherry blossoms in full bloom while we were there was a huge bonus. We also were able to visit with our friends Porsche and Donnie, who moved out there last year... AND we visited Patrick's mother's side of the family. I was a little scared because it was my first time meeting them, but they were all really friendly. They had that good ole southern hospitality in them! David was quite the host- he took us to his family's Passover Seder dinner (our first Seder!... and we LOVED his family), and introduced us to the art of eating Maryland crabs! Maybe another time when I'm not at work and totally swamped... I'll fill in more about our trip!

My brother is a rock star


Everyone knows I totally adore my little brother, Christopher. He's 9 years old and just too cool for school! He's crazy smart and is involved in a million activities: baseball, basketball, hockey, football, karate, choir, science club and chess club are just a few! Patrick and I weren't able to make it to his school's open house and choir performance, but luckily my sister caught some of the 'magic' on film for me! The video clip shows his solo.. and it rocks!
