How cool is that, that you got to meet up with Stacy AND Liz…last I heard you weren’t going to be seeing any bloggers in NYC or anywhere else besides DC.
They are the cutest babies too…

That’s one jam-packed week!
Also, let me say that I so admire you for making sure your blog was maintained while you were away. I don’t think I’d be (or have been) as diligent….

All vacations should come with a built in recovery weekend at home to do laundry and sleep.
15 miles a day? Seriously?!?

Ok, that pic of Babboo with his tool belt hanging off of his butt is the cutest damn thing I have seen in a LONG time. Is he ready to help Daddy build the new house?

So close yet so far away. Hope you had fun in DC. Was it hot as hell? Baltimore was burning up. Been a long time Isabel! I have a new blog. Am truly devoted and so far behind. Html? CSS? All foreign languages to me.
Talk to you later.

Looks like you had fun. Exhausting time, but fun. I’m so sorry I missed. Like, literally just missed you. Ugh.
Guess that means I’ll be coming to Seattle then. Bummer.

Sounds like a great trip! (Other than what kind of hotel you can get for the money in NY - holy cow.)
Can I also say that I am SO JEALOUS that you got to hang out with Jojo and Henrybear?
I hope you guys had a blast.

[…] On my walk into the office I kept thinking about this. What do I want to do before I die? Do I have goals that will span my lifetime? Are there places I’d like to visit?

The only other place that 14 year old Isabel would have wanted to visit was Washington DC. And we all I know I just crossed that off my (non existent) list this month. I e-mailed The King this morning and asked him why he wanted to know if I had a list. He responded by saying this: […]

[…] As you know, I have some very specific requirements that make a vacation a vacation. First off I have to eat pizza. At the first bite of the first piece of pizza, it becomes a vacation. Secondly I have to enjoy a plate of eggs benedict. Nothing says vacation like hollandaise sauce poured over eggs and Canadian bacon (although up there, they just call it bacon). […]
