This weekend, I had to get out of DC. I was wonderfully welcomed by Gianna and her parents to stay with them in Charlottesville. (Diane, Gianna's mom, is a close friend of my mother's). I feel so relaxed when I'm here - no more hustle and bustle of being in DC. Gianna has been very generous letting me borrow her clothes - I feel like a girl again! I've put on make-up, fabulous jeans, boots, and a great pea coat. Because I am only on the East for a limited time, I didn't pack much of my regular clothes; I brought lots of slacks, sweaters, and blazers. It is nice to just dress up for the fun of it.
Last night Chelsea (Gianna's friend) and I went to dinner with Gary (Gianna's father) because he was eager to make sure he saw me before I left; Gianna was going to come, but she had to work that night. We went to this awesome place - The X Lounge, then later to a pretty cool tea house.
Tonight, Gianna has planned a fun night for us girls. She invited her closest buds to hot tub at Keswick (the country club of which they belong to), grab dinner, maybe Applebee's or something, then to see a movie after.
I take the train back to DC tomorrow at 2:30. Hopefully it is on-time, unlike the hour & 45 min delay to get here.... (the train ride is only 2 hours... and I had to wait an hour and 45 mins! soooo frustrating....)
