Sister time in Richmond!

This past weekend I was able to make a trip to Richmond to spoil my sister and soon-to-be niece or nephew! Thanks to my husband who whisked away Madeline and the puppies to West Virginia, we were able to enjoy a great girls weekend before the baby arrives!

We started off with a fabulous dinner at Bistro 27 in Richmond, so yummy! Saturday morning came bright and early and the Sarah and I headed to the Red Door Spa for 3 hours of fabulous spa treatments. So wonderful! We then headed up to Alexandria, VA for a baby shower for one of our fabulous friends, Erica, from high school. So fun! I even got to meet on of the writers of the blogs I stalk. Ha. Yes, you read that right, if you are on one of my friend's blogs, chances are I am checking out what you are up to. Why not? It's a great way to get ideas and peak in on adorable little babies :) So with that said, Maureen it was so nice to "officially" meet you. Now that we kind of know each other does that still make me a stalker? Ha. It was so great to see all of the mommies-to-be enjoying the day.

After the baby shower, we headed back to Richmond for a quick hour or so of relaxation and the PSU game, way to go JoePa 400! We headed back out for a girls dinner, another surprise for Sarah, with two of her girl friends from Law School and two more from Hershey! Thank you so much to everyone who helped make this weekend special for my big sister :) We had a fabulous time!

You did such a great job of documenting the weekend! It was so fun seeing you at Erica's shower. Can't wait to hang out again in a few weeks and the kiddos will finally meet and we can see them play together!

Well if you're a stalker, then I guess that makes me a stalker too! :) So great to "officially" meet you as well! I love peeking in at your blog and have enjoyed passing some of your adorable ideas for Miss Madeline along to my sister. Look forward to keeping in touch via the wonderful world of blogs! :)

Thank you so much for my lovely weekend! I had such a great time. I really owe one. I know it's not easy to get away from Madeline, drive 5+ hours, and drive around DC! But I really appreciate it. Next time manis and pedis are on me.
