We got back from nearly 3 weeks on the east coast Wednesday night. I'm not even sure what to blog about! It was a great trip, despite that it was a bit chaotic (why did we even try to make a schedule...almost nothing went as planned!), it was a bit short (shoulda done a month, you know?) and it was HOT in DC (try 102 more than one day we were there!)
Some of the highlights were my little sister graduating:
(Go Elena!)
Our friends Nancy & Andrew tying the knot:
(the wedding party, with Stu on the far left)
And one of my best friends Melissa having her first baby, little William Joseph Chalkias, born 25 June 2010!
(here with exhausted-looking papa, Mike)
We met baby Laura for the first time:
(with great friend [her mama] Cait, at the SI Folklife festival)
We even managed to see Stu's dad a few times, when he was able to get truckloads in our direction:
(Stu with his dad and Gabby at the NGA sculpture garden)
And we got to hang out with quite a few friends. Not nearly as many as we would have liked, nor for as long as we would have wanted, but considering the packed 2.5 weeks we were home, we did alright.
I should have taken more pictures, for sure. Oh well. So we are back just long enough to get over the jetlag before we leave for a week in Scotland and a week in Germany. I'll be attending an art librarians conference in Edinburgh, so there will be a little bit a work going on, but other than that, it'll be just vacation. And with Stu's mama and cousin Judi!
Speaking of jetlag...its been tough to get out of the house, since I want to take a nap every other other. We have definitely missed some of the best time to be in Sweden. But our friends Sam & Sean will be here in an hour to stay the weekend with us, so we'll get some prime Stockholm time showing them around the city. So off to enjoy some BEAUTIFUL Stockholm weather.
