Hey Ya'll - I'm back! Safe and Sound - and oh my, what a fantastic getaway!!! So much to write about - not sure if I can fit it all into one journal - but I'll hit the highlights!
NYC - Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Ground Zero, Times Square, Empire State Bldg and Grand Central - all in one day! oh, and NY Cheesecake (hubby and son only!)
Philly - Independence Hall, Liberty Bell, Philly Cheesesteak (I only ate the insides, no bread), street performers, and some shopping and little museum type places.
DC -Practically everything there is to see in DC - we did! All monuments, museums, cemetaries, memorials, the white house, congress, libary, supreme court, great restaurants, you name it... we did it!
Even stopped off for a day in Amish country on the way back - great fun just to see it, learn about and what pretty farm lands and area of the country. (for any one living in PA - big shout out...totally enjoyed ourselves).
Stayed totally under control, had no issues eating out all week. Picked one night on vacation to enjoy a 'skinny girl margarita' and it was delish! And another occasion I picked a small bag of popcorn on the streets of DC while my guys scarfed down hotdogs and pretzels before heading into yet another museum!!!
But those were my only two 'indulgences'. And that's how I preferred it. I mostly ate like I do here at home - just asked to have UN-marinated meat grilled, w/ a salad and sometimes a veggie. It was always good, no matter where we went. Great memories, great fun... and most of all we totally relaxed even in the midst of all that activity!
Walked miles... and then walked some more! But it was worth it!
Will try to post a couple of pics later tonight.
Mom had fun at my sister's...but is happy to be back home and we are all scrambling to get ready for Easter tomorrow. Wasn't expecting to be home a day early... but it's all good... I'll figure it out.
Hope everyone else is well... leave me a message on how your week has been...so I don't have to jump from everyone's journals and try to read through all of last weeks entries for everyone... PLEASE!
Much Love to you ALL!!! Happy to be home :)
