d.c.

last thursday, jay and i jet-setted up to d.c. for a few days. jay had some meetings and i decided to get out of our almost-complete-but-not-quite-finished house for a break from the dust, clutter, and noise. the dogs had a well deserved break as well, norman to wuf spa and mckenz' spent the weekend with her grandparents and their yorkies.

we had a great time. friday we walked every square inch of that town, seeing monuments, congress, the white house, and everything in between. i think my favorite was the FDR memorial. not necessarily because of it's structure, but more because of it's statement. it was very fitting for his style and really showed who he was as a leader and a person. my favorite part is pictured below. the quote:

The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those
who have much it is whether we provide enough for those who have little.

-Franklin D. Roosevelt

that evening we were able to visit with a good friend of mine from college, stacey mac, and her hubbie, sean. it was so fun to see her, meet him, and catch up - good times, guys!!

saturday we did some yoga, jay had some meetings, and we enjoyed a very special lunch with a potential client of jay's (jay, not sure if i am allowed to say whom?). then we found a great spot to watch the OU game, which was a big victory, pushing us into the #1 spot. woo-hoo!

the best part of the weekend was just having the chance to get away and relax - and having a really nice suite to relax in. we even had a seperate yoga room in our suite! we both desperately needed to get away for a break from house mess, work stresses, and everything in between, so this was a nice treat. good weather, great hotel, and nice, relaxing trip with just the two of us!
