Shower and Insta-party

Some lovely ladies and I drove down to Nestorville, WV (where is that?) to attend an orange and yellow bridal shower. It was the biggest bridal shower I've ever been to! There were so many ladies there, I was impressed that Danielle knew that many people. But, I must say, I was impressed with the organization. It went smoothly despite all the guests.

The drive down and back up was so lovely with my feminine companions, that we didn't want the fun to end. So we created an insta-party and had a lovely evening out in the yard playing games, listening to music, and munching away. Those are the times that remind me that it's summer.

Gpa's 80th

I made a pilgrimage to NY with my mom for my grandpa's 80th birthday party. It was a long drive (took us about 10 hours), but I hadn't been up there since last October so it was good to be back. And, most special of all- ALL of my aunts were able to make it. All six sisters. We were able to hang out, eat, look at old photos, and more-or-less catch up.

T stayed behind in WV and helped out with the church yard sale. I guess there was a TON of stuff and most of the big stuff sold. Sounds like success!

Housewarming in MD

T and I had a long Saturday. We woke up at 4:30am to conduct bird surveys at two sites out in the WV pan handle. We then drove to Baltimore (somehow surviving google maps crazy directions), found our hotel, checked in, and took a much-needed shower.

The party was like a mini-family reunion for us. We had quite an enjoyable time sitting around, talking, laughing, and teasing. The evening was beautiful and when we got back to our hotel at 11pm, we couldn't resist a walk around the harbor.

The next day we explored a bit more and took a water taxi to Fell's Point for a delicious dining experience. Unfornuately, it was then time to leave. Baltimore is such a great place to spend some time though.
