Heat Wave in DC!

OMG! It is hot hot hot in DC! We got in on Friday afternoon, finally made it to our hotel and trekked up to get a late lunch and then to the liquor store and back to the room. Dawn came in early Saturday morning. I had meetings and she and Jenn went to get breakfast. Misch and Michelle came over to the hotel around noon. We all went and got some chow around 12:30 and then went to the Holocaust Museum. Saturday night we did a moonlight trolly tour of DC monuments and it was so much fun!

Mish and Michelle went to back to NYC on Sunday morning. Dawn had to leave to go back home, too. Sharn got there in time to see Dawn for a bit before she left and she and Jenn hung out and then we all went and got a late lunch and then got to meet Bill, Austin and Jack.

Patti was supposed to get in very late on Sunday, but ended up in horrible delays and didn't get to DC until Monday evening. I went to meetings on Monday and Jenn went to the Nat'l Archives and the White House. We took Patti over to the Lincoln Memorial Monday night and also saw the Korean Memorial, as well.

We got up early today (Tuesday) and caught the Bolt bus to NYC. It is really nice. It has wifi and that is how I am posting now. It is comfortable and roomy and I have had a nap. Can't beat that. It is way better than the tiny airplanes we took to get out here.

I will post about NYC when I have time!

D.C. on Friday!

It's true. We fly out Friday morning for Washington D.C. Woot! I am starting to get excited. I haven't been too much, just because I have so much work to finish up before I go. I seriously need to get some things finished up first. I came into work today at 7:30 AM to get a jump start. It was so quiet and nice. It was great. I got a lot finished before the phones started ringing!

We are staying at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in D.C. I am really excited about the Saturday night trolly tour we are going on. It is the monuments at night. I went on a similar tour when I was 12 and just thought everything looked so beautiful at night, all lit up in the dark. Just beautiful.

One Week!

We leave in exactly one week to go on vacation! Well, it is a working vacation for me, but a vacation, none the less. Registration for the conference starts Friday night and the conference goes Saturday through Tuesday morning. We are actually going to go to NYC on Tuesday morning, though. Yay!

Our friends, Anne and Heather moved to DC about a year ago and we had hoped to get to see them, but they are leaving for vacation on Saturday. We are trying to make a plan to meet up for a drink or something on Friday afternoon. I hope we can.

Dawn is going to be coming into DC early on Saturday morning and hanging out with Jenn all day while I am at my 9-4 Development Workshop. Mish and Michelle will be in town on Saturday too! Saturday night, we are all going on a Lights of DC trolly tour. It should be really fun. I am looking very forward to haning out with all of them and seeing the sights!

Dawn has to leave Sunday to go back home. Sharon is coming into town at some point on Sunday or Monday!! I cannot remember now. Mish and Michelle are driving back to NYC on Sunday. Patti gets into DC sometime late Sunday, I think. I need to check everyone schedules!

Patti and Jenn get to hang out together Monday, while I am in meetings and then we are all going to NYC Tuesday morning! WOOT! We are staying until Saturday morning! I am STOKED! Jenn and I have tickets to see Gypsy on Wednesday afternoon. I think Mish and Michelle do too. It was just nominated for 4 Tony's! I knew it would be. Patti LuPone is just INCREDIBLE!

Crazy week

With our conference coming up, it has been a mad house in our office. We are also trying to put together 3 more day-long workshops before the end of June. Wow. It is going to be crazy.

On a better note, we are all going to Washington, D.C. for the National Conference in June. We are all so excited about it. And on top of it, Jenn is going to go too, and we are going to go to NYC after D.C. for a few days. Last night I got tickets to see PATTI LUPONE in GYPSY while we are there and I am so excited that I am bouncing off the walls today!
