So right this minute I am sitting in the world's COOLEST apartment in Richmond, VA. Well, maybe it's not the world's coolest apartment but it certainly is the coolest apartment I've ever been in (followed closely by Amber and Jono's). It's all hard wood floors, high ceilings and with a fireplace in every room. Amazing. I so wish I could steal it and bring it back with me, lol.

The trip so far has been okay. I don't want to go into the things that made me unhappy about it right off the bat because that would make it seem like I had no fun and I did. There were just a few things that were kinda lame. So I'm going to list them now and I'll get them out of the way and it'll be over with.

Now that wasn't too bad, right?

The trip down here was actually okay. I bought a portable DVD player so it went by fast because I watched movies and season 1 of Party of Five. Plus I slept in the back of the van and what not. So not too bad.

On Sunday after we got here we went on a little tour and then to a few bars. Whatev.

Monday I got to watch the boys hit golf balls, then we played mini golf. By that time it was evening and we went to the bars. The first one we went to was kinda cool and it was fun. The second one we went to had pitchers of mimosas and I ended up getting a bit drunk. Ah well.

Tuesday was DC. Amazing. We drove by the Pentagon and I got to see the Washington Monument, The Capitol Building, The White House... plus many others. It was amazing. Afterwards we went to SURPRISE SURPRISE some bars and then into Georgetown, which is SO cool looking. We ended up at a bar called The Rhino which was actually sorta cool because that was the name of Dustin's old house, hehe. Plus the inside was sorta cool.

Yesterday we drove down to Virginia Beach. Beautiful. I put my feet in the water even though it was a tad cold and it was just cool... reminded me of being down in Florida when I was younger. I miss that. We ended up at a bar *rolls eyes* and then over to Dustin's cousin Kaycee's house (not sure how she spells her name but whatev).

And today just D, Shawn and I went into DC. Sean had to work which was sorta nice because I got to be away from him for a day. I do feel bad that he annoys me and I wish I knew what it was. I love the rest of D's family! I dunno. Anyway, we went to the National Museum of Natural History and saw the Hope Diamond. AMAZING! Afterwards we went to the National Archives. So creepy. It's just so totally weird to be looking at these documents that are so old and that are so important for our country. To see all those signatures on the Constitution. Crazy. Surreal. When we were done there we went to the Smithsonian Aviation Museum which was pretty cool. I'm not huge into airplanes or aviation but it was pretty exciting to see everything in there.

Tomorrow we're going to a museum here in Richmond and then out to the bars for an early St. Patrick's Day. And finally on Saturday we're heading home. It's been a very good vacation despite a few of the downs. However, I'm excited to be going home. I miss my home and my kitty and my friends. I even miss the 'Bou a smidge (mostly my co-workers, hehe).

ANYWAY! Must go, time for dinner. More soon!

Love from Virginia!

About

I'm just a girl trying to find my place in the world. I don't claim to be perfect and I don't expect anyone in my life to try to be that way either. I try to keep only good, positive and trustworthy people around me. I've been burned in the past but right now I feel like things are pretty good. I'm in the middle of re-applying to school, I work full time at Caribou Coffee and in between I just want to have fun. I am only 23, after all, and I want to live it up. Like what you see? Feel free to read more.
