Anchors Aweigh

J.Crew Top/ J.Crew Skirt/ J.Crew Necklace (similar)/ Banana Shoes
Hmm...what do I want to share with you first? Should I tell you that during our trip I managed to get food and other schmutz on most of my clothes so that I am once again down to only a few wearable articles of clothing at the moment and that my drycleaner and I are besties?

Should I tell you that in the two weeks I haven't driven my car, my driving skills have suffered resulting me me trying to back-up and turn by using my turn signal...what?? or that I left my set of keys in Pennsylvania, which resulted in my dad driving them down to me yesterday and an impromptu lunch at Rosa Mexicano? (yes, he's the best)

How about the amazing date night Jesse planned last week consisting of a trip to the National Portrait Gallery followed by a delicious dinner at Cuba Libre? Do you want to hear about Jesse and I going to the first Screen on the Green of the season and Jesse's first ever to see Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid?



Should I tell you about my first trip home from work on the D6 bus ever? or that the recent storm coincided with the installment of a new A/C unit which led to one toasty apartment because of 100 degree temperatures outside?


How about my family early birthday celebration, which included flowers, balloons, and my favorite dessert of all time, A COOKIE CAKE!?


Did you know that you can make red grapes into white wine, but that you can't make green grapes into red wine? And the Golden Gate Bridge is celebrating it's 75th Anniversary this year, it's 1.7 miles long, and that the galvanized carbon steel wire comprising each main cable was laid by spinning the wire, using a loom-type shuttle that moved back and forth as it laid the wire in place to form the cables? How about that Yosemite National Park covers 761,268 acres and has over 3.7 million visitors each year.





 
Also, during our trip I took hundreds and hundreds of photos between my camera and my iPhone?


















 
Well, come to think of it, I guess I have given you a pretty good overview of the past two weeks. Hope you enjoyed my recap. What have you been up to?
