Weekend Update

We had such a great weekend! Saturday morning Lex and Brandi picked me up and they got to meet Spencer, which was so nice. Luckily she was on her A game, and it was really great to see them with my babe. I always miss her so much when I'm away from her, but she didn't cry when I left, so that was very helpful to my departure process!

Besides the friendship component of our relationship, one of the best parts is that I learn so much from them. They are so smart and whenever we talk I always leave a bit more enlightened and tad more intellectual!.

After we got to Williamsburg, we immediately went to The Cheese Shop for lunch. They have the best sandwiches and even though you have to wait an eternity in line, it's worth it! Then we walked around campus reminiscing about the old days. It was such a beautiful afternoon, the weather was perfect.
We went back to the Kappa House, where we all used to live together, and we sat on the front porch and swung on our old swing. The girls living there now let us walk through the house. They've done a lot of remodeling, but it still felt like our old home.

One of the best things about the Kappa house is the gorgeous garden that they have. There are always visitors and tourists walking through it because it's open to all and it's just beautiful!

We sat and talked and people watched for a long time. I can't explain how nice it was to be with them on our old stomping grounds! We've hit some rough patches over the years, but no matter what, I know that we share an unbreakable bond. There aren't many friends who share this and I think I'm incredibly lucky to have them- my suitiekins!

The rest of the day was filled with getting the hotel room, more gabbing, and a late night dinner. The Green Leafe looks like it might be a hole in the wall, but it's anything but. They have delicious food and over 100 different types of beer. Their motto is "Good Food, Good Beer, Good People, Bad Parking." I hadn't been there since before Spencer was born, so it was really great to go back!

We went to Morton, the academic building I spent 75% of all my W&M time in. It's so ugly it's beautiful! We talked, took pictures, and toasted the greatness that is Morton Hall.

The inside of Morton. Part of the architectural genius of the 1970's!

On Sunday we took another walk and ate quick breakfast before we had drive back home. As we passed familiar landmarks, old memories flooded us.

This is a church that Lexie, for years, thought was haunted. At night you could see an eerie red glow through the window atop the door. Come to find out, the haunted ghost was just an EXIT sign. Book smarts does not always translated into street smarts, haha!

The source of many of my many parking tickets! The city of Williamsburg benefited a lot from my parking problems.

Our self portrait!

It was a quick trip, but one that I seriously needed. Well, except for the two huge blisters I got on the soles of my feet! But besides that, it was wonderful to be back with my Sisters. One day, we all plan to retire to the 'Burg, living out our feeble years together! Thank you Lexie and Brandi for an amazing weekend, I love you, ladies!
