travel, travel, travel, vacation!

last weekend i travelled to Washington state for work. i hadn't been there for about 6 years. that part of the country is at the top of my list in terms of beauty. the combination of mountains, ocean and forest is perfect. i wouldn't mind relocating there at some point in my life, and i honestly think that i will. i had the opportunity to stay with family friends who have known me since i was a baby. the experience of spending time with them as an adult was great. it must have been interesting for them as well, the last time we spent time together at length was when i was a freshman in high school!

this weekend i am off to Washington D.C. for another work comittment. i love going to D.C. because of the small group of friends i have out there. topher is graciously allowing me to spend a night at his house and will let me tag along to any activities that might happen in his social network. any time i get to spend with topher is filled with laughter and truth.

i get back to Dallas on Sunday night from D.C. and on Monday morning, i fly off to Hawaii for a week of vacation with a girlfriend from work! i have never taken a grown-up vacation with a friend before! we are so excited to lounge on the beach, explore the island, swim, hike, bike and relax! this vacation is so needed at this point!

i will write all about my trip when i get back. until then, aloha!
