So this past weekend I spent in PA with Jason and my brother and his family and we had a wonderful time! It was Jacob's christening and the weeekend was amazing weather-wise and we had a fabulous time!
The drive down was right on target Saturday morning and we arrived, got Jay a hair cut and went right to Fran's house. The boys booked a tee time and the girls plotted some serious shopping!
The boys scores were 94 & 136 (I won't give away who won).
The girls scored much good stuff at the outlets including some groovy new bags from French Connection (quote from Kim upon seeing the bag: It looks like Chubaka threw up all over that thing!). Sid and Fran were not all too impressed by the bags but that's okay, to each her own as they say!
Saturday evening we had a wonderful dinner with Thea, Sid, Fran, Mark, Liz and Jake. It was just beautiful. We ate out on the porch and listened to the locusts talk to each other in their own magical language. We watched as Petey and Trudi tried to avoid Ted the wonder cat. A good time was had by all!
Sunday morning was great, we went to church around ten. There were two kids being baptized. The church was beautiful, the ceremony was very special and the boys did very well despite the dunking (not real dunking, just sprinkling really).
After the ceremony we went back to Fran's for a fabulous brunch (thank you Fran for all that great cooking!) and we hung out for a little while after (clean up, packing, etc.). We hit the road around 2PM and OF COURSE traffic on the New Jersey Turnpike was at a standstill. Things didn't really get better until after the George Washington Bridge in NY! UGH. Ugly drive. And it wasn't really that fun being in the car either (to be honest and frank) not one of our more friendly marriage encounters.
Everyone survived the trip and we got home around 9PM and pretty much just flopped out!
The weekend was a SMASHING success and despite having a stinking standard on the GW, I survived and was made better by the entire experience!
A HUGE thank you to Fran for putting us up in her lovely home, we always enjoy visiting there and are so grateful for your loving kindness!
