Good morning, lovelies! Is it really Monday already? Please tell me that it's not and that I can crawl back into my comfy bed. Pretty please?
Feeling kinda lazy this morning after a wonderful weekend that seemed to fly by way too fast. I was down in Washington DC for while J was attending a conference. I had a fabulous time. DC is such a great town. I've been many times before but this time was better than I could have imagined.
We walked around like tourists on Saturday afternoon, snapping photos of all of the sites. It was so much fun to really stop and take it all in. We even stopped by The Smithsonian to see Julia Child's kitchen. So much fun.
After our long stroll we had an absolutely amazing meal at Zaytinya, a Turkish, Greek & Labanese restaurant. The food was out of this world. And we were able to eat vegan & gluten free so we didn't even have to break our new way of eating. I sooo wish that it was located here in NY. I might have to make another trip on down to DC in the very near future :)
Right after that delicious meal we walked across the street and caught a hockey game at the Verizon Center. Another hockey arena to check off of our list. J & I are huge hockey fans and our goal is to visit all of the NHL arenas in the US & Canada. So far we've hit 14 out of 30. We're almost half way there!
And then before I knew it, I was right back on a train on up to NYC. It all seemed to happen in a flash so you can understand me wishing for just one more day, right? Oh and to make matters worse, I left J on down in DC for the night because the conference lasts until today so my Sunday night sleep was even worse than usual.
Oh well, I always have my good friend "Joe" to rely on in times like these so I'll be ready to go in no time. Someone get me a latte quick! :)
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and that your week gets off to a fabulous start!
xoxo

My weekend flew by and was full of birthday fun!
Wow sounds like an amazing weekend indeed. Hmmm just a few extra min sleep on this Monday morning could indeed be useful.
Have a laughter-filled week.

Sounds lovely! I am smitten with the fur bed...I need that now!
What a great weekend. Always love seeing the curated photos you post here. The coffee, the bed and the coat are lovely!
Dawn,
So fun to learn you're a hockey fan!! And, DC is one of my favorite cities, yet it's been way too long since I was there. My oldest son really wants to go to the Spy Museum!!
Easing back into the week usually takes a couple of lattes for me!!!
xoxo Elizabeth
I'm so glad to hear that, Dawn!
Oh my...such cozy textures here!
Loved reading your DC weekend recap ~ and happy to hear you made a terrific restaurant discovery! I know what you mean about feeling just a bit lethargic today though... I'm on my second cup of joe ;-)
WOW sounds like a fabulous weekend! My husband used to travel a lot for business and I really miss being able to be the tag-along to all of the places he went to ... while he was in meetings all day, I had the rental car and explored, got to stay in wonderful hotels ... sigh! Happy Monday, sweetie .. wishing I had the sweater in the first image ... so SOFT! xoxo

I am here indulging in my morning coffee (2nd or is it 3rd cup) as I read this Dawn, I can so relate. I sat and watched the boats go by on the bay on a foggy afternoon with a fun date yesterday afternoon and wish it were not Monday. So glad you had a great time and I am envious of you sticking to your diet!

I am so with you on wanting to crawl back into bed - I just want a little break :)
Much love,

Sounds like you had a really good trip... I am really feeling these images.
I felt the exact same way this morning too, wishing I could have a few extra z's. Get more coffee down you girl.

All of my weekends seem to go by way too fast these days. I guess that is what I get for being so busy all the time!
P.S. That first fur jacket -- DYING.

sounds like a great weekend :) mine went by so fast and i can't wait for the next weekend to begin. happy tuesday.
What a fun weekend! Perhaps you should write that restaurant and tell them to open one up in ny! Julia Childs kitchen is in the Smithsonian?!? We didn't have time to check it out the last time we were there, there are so many tourist spots to get trapped in. Glad you had a great time. xo
sounds like a grand weekend! Sorry you came back with a cold :( Tell me more about this new diet of yours!
Awww your weekend sounds delightful my dear! :) I hate coming back to reality after a short, fun-filled trip away... esp when you special someone doesn't follow you home. :(
