Five on Friday!

It's another Friday which means it is time to link up with April, Christina, and Darcy for another installation of 5 on Friday. Here's what I've got for you this week:

//1// Today is my last day on the project I've been supporting for the past 1.5 years. It's bittersweet to say goodbye to some of the people I've been working with but I'm very anxious to get started on my new project. Plus I'm pretty excited about walking and metro-ing to work now!

//2// This weekend we are headed to the Nationals game. It is supposed to be sunny and in the 60s on Sunday afternoon - sounds like a perfect day for baseball!

//3// I'm anxious for the cherry blossoms to bloom. With the harsh and long winter DC had this year, the prediction was for a late bloom this year. The last prediction was that the end of next week would be the peak time.  I sure hope so, I would love to see the blossoms in full bloom as we celebrate our first wedding anniversary!

//4// I cannot get enough of the San Pellegrino Limonata. It is so refreshing!

//5// My best friend and maid of honor, Aubrey, gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby boy early this morning! I am so excited for her and her family and can't wait to meet the handsome guy! Happy Birthday Christopher!


Happy weekend!

Charleston & Kiawah Island

Last weekend we enjoyed a great 3-day trip to Charleston and Kiawah Island with our friends Jeff & Amanda to celebrate Phil & Katie's wedding. We were thankful to escape cold and rainy DC for a few days and take in the southern charm. Here are some of my favorite pics from the weekend!

Heading to the Gin Joint after an amazing dinner at Husk on Thursday night

I loved walking through Charleston and seeing all of the beautiful, historic homes

Thanks to our very informative concierge, we got the inside scoop on hidden alleys and cemeteries in Charleston.

This was one of my favorite courtyards. The home is owned by descendants of the man who introduced the poinsettia to the United States.

On Saturday afternoon we all took a walk along the beach. We professed our love in the sand. =)

Then it was time for the wedding! We could not be happier for Phil & Katie!

At the reception. You can see the chairs from the ceremony in the bottom left corner.

Our last stop after leaving Kiawah Island was to Angel Oak. It is an incredible tree.

This was my first trip to the Charleston area and I am looking forward to going back in June for a bachelorette weekend!
