Withdrawal

         
            It was back to reality on Tuesday morning after a near perfect week-long vacation and though my 3.5 day week went by pretty quickly, I still lusting after the pictures of all that sunshine and Fox Point goodness I was able to take advantage over those (almost) 10 days.  I think Cooper is in withdrawal too...far fewer sticks to chew and a lot less wildlife to chase.  Unless, of course, you count the famous Glover Park rats in which case we've got those in spades.
            And because I am always the first to want to relive a vacation, I've got a few more pictures to share...I promise this is the last of them...I think...

You know that wildlife I was talking about?  Yeah...well...Cooper decided to get a little too close to it.  Which earned him an especially nasty stench followed by a trip to the outdoor shower.  As you can see, Cooper does not like showers.  Poor guy.

Hanging with the mamas

Would not be summertime at Fox Point without this girl

           And though I am a little sad that my official summer vacation is over, I'm not throwing in the (beach)towel just yet.  Stay tuned for some more from the summer bucket list, a visit down south, and Dewey Beach weekend part II!

Oh and P.S.!  Happy Birthday today to my sweet Mama.  Best a girl could ask for.

A Few More Scenes from the Bay

Virginia has its Moments

              I'm a D.C. snob.  I'll admit it.  The thought of venturing into Maryland or Virginia for much of anything tends to immediately send me running the other way but when I heard that there was a Monday night showing of You've Got Mail in Crystal City, well, I may have made an exception.  It was a perfect night to curl up on a blanket, drink a little too much wine, eat a little too much dessert, and watch Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks love to hate each other on the big screen.

Word on the street is that Love Actually is playing next Monday...see you there?!

Hello, from Rock Hall!

Disclaimer: I actually wrote this post yesterday afternoon (so I'm not drinking Blue Moon at 10:15am...though it doesn't sound all that bad right now) and am just now publishing it by way of stolen wifi at the Java Rock Cafe since Fox Point is internet free!

              I'm currently blogging poolside and listening to James Taylor while sipping a Blue Moon.  Must mean it's summer vacation week at the edge of heaven (a.k.a. Fox Point).  We've had the most perfect weather so far and I am soaking up every second of boat time I can get.  Here's to many more days of creek floating, hammock happy houring, and cheek freckling to come.  And for a little glimpse at what my weekend looked like...

Morning run with my bud

Early morning sunshine out on the point

Be back soon with more from FP and some D.C. bucket list adventures!

Rooting for the Home Team

            An athlete, I am not.  I wouldn't even be able to call myself a real sports fan while keeping a straight face.  But I do love me some summertime baseball.  Now I'd be lying if I said that part of the draw doesn't come in the form of an overpriced Coors Light and an extra salty jumbo pretzel but that's besides the point.  I've had the chance to make it to a few Nats games over the past few weeks and I have decided that they are the perfect kind of summer fun.

Even Cooper is a fan!  

Happy Wednesday :-).  Only two more work days until a week long vacation.  CAN. NOT. WAIT.
