Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
How do you mourn the passing of someone you never set eyes on in real life? How do you explain why you feel a hole in your heart over someone you never once hugged yourself? How do you become a family over a flickering monitor? I don't know, it's some sort of magical human connection... Continue Reading →
Monday morning came too soon and too early - it sounded like they were trying to rebuild the city right outside our hotel window!! While everyone else was set to leave right after breakfast, my flight wasn't leaving Baltimore until nearly 6pm so the shuttle didn't need to pick me up until 2:45. I arranged... Continue Reading →
Lots of pics. Not much to narrate other than we had to say goodbye to a few ladies throughout the day as some went on Sunday. I wanted to clone myself to participate in the Equality Day march, but instead we had tickets to be up on the Washington Monument so I had to be... Continue Reading →
After the Saturday AM guided White House tour, we met up with one last mom who came in just for the day and made our way on the metro to the Mall and museums. We split up into two groups and my group made our way to the Natural History Museum to see the Hope... Continue Reading →

Yes, we went twice since we had two sets of tour tickets from different congressional offices and because some of the group were not there Friday morning it made sense to go again Sat morning. Good thing! A... Continue Reading →
(I didn't add an 'of x' to that since I really don't know how much I will break this up, I just know I better start!) After the challenges of getting in to Pittsburgh in August, the non stop Southwest flight to Baltimore Thursday morning was a breeze. Even having spaced on printing my boarding... Continue Reading →
I'm sitting in the hotel restaurant having lunch as I wait for my airport shuttle. Last one here. It's been the usual weekend of wonderful company with tons of laughter (gobs really), counselling, great food and sightseeing. Here's the few photos I took with my phone that I can post right away. The rest, and... Continue Reading →
Flying in from many parts of the country - almost all 4 corners - we shall gather and begin the 4 day therapy sessions. From what I understand, our destination is plenty prepared for all that hot air 🙂 See ya when I get back. Not dragging the laptop around this time (yay!!!). So any... Continue Reading →
