Fun weekend away (for Mama at least!)

Friday, my good friends Meghan, Rikki and I loaded up and headed north to Baltimore to see our friend Stacy - you may remember Stacy and Luke who lived across the street and moved at the end of April.

We had a great trip up, no traffic and got there in good time. After checking in to the hotel, Stacy met us out for dinner and catching up; she headed home afterwards and we to bed. Saturday morning, we made our way to breakfast and Stacy met up with us again, this time to stay! We had such a wonderful time of doing pretty much nothing but talking, eating and walking around enjoying the city... we did take a break from all of that eating to get our toes done. After a dinner out in Little Italy, we went back to the hotel and talked until we fell asleep. Sunday morning Stacy headed back home and after getting dressed and packed checked out ourselves.

On our way out of Baltimore, we stopped by Stacy and Travis' to see Luke, meet Max and check out their new home - every bit was perfect! Luke has grown up so much in the past few months and was excited to see us, although I don't think he remembered us. Max is the sweetest little baby and is Luke's mini-me - amazing how much they look alike. The house is amazing with tons of great open space, which is perfect for two boys - or actually any kids!

We then hit the road home and after hitting two bouts of traffic and some good rain, we made it back to Bedford Ridge. It was such a wonderful weekend away with the greatest friends and was just what the doctor ordered for us all! We've decided we must do a girls weekend yearly and head to some neat cities that we can drive to and check out.

A BIG shout out to all the dads for stepping up and allowing us to take a weekend off without having to worry about our babies. Brian did a great job with the kids (his first time alone with them both really) and I got the greatest welcome when I walked in the door last night from them all. It was good for the soul, but good to be home too.
