Here Comes the Sun

It finally stopped raining this weekend! We have had a record amount of rain over the last month, and we've all had a little bit of cabin fever. Well, after a pretty gross day on Friday, the sun came out on Saturday morning. It worked out perfectly because my firm had a hike planned for the summer associates. So, I woke up early, picked up some co-workers, and we drove about 60 miles west of D.C. to Sky Meadows State Park. We did about a 3.5-mile hike, and there were a couple of scenic overlooks. It's no Rocky Mountain, but it was really pretty!

After the hike, I drove back into town and headed to my second home, otherwise known as Home Depot to pick up some more paint. The next room on the list is the master bathroom. We definitely underestimated the amount of tape that was required, but after that was done, it went by pretty quickly.

We also got Reggie out of the house for some much-needed frisbee time. His paws have recovered and we finally found a good field for some long frisbee-throws. I also had the joy of giving him a bath on Sunday. While I hate doing this (and Reggie isn't exactly thrilled about it either), it was so much easier now that we actually have a hose and I can wash him outside, which is MUCH easier than doing it in the bathtub!

I hemmed up our new curtains this weekend -- mom would be very proud
