Drive, Fly, Drive, Sleep, Drive, Party, Drive, Sleep, Drive, Sleep, Drive, Fly, Drive

Wow . . . just writing that title makes me tired!
Last weekend I went to New Jersey for an awesome girls weekend to celebrate both of my cousins upcoming weddings. Friday I drove to Orlando, flew to Roanoke, VA to meet Mom and we drove together to New Jersey to the Schneider's house. As we were driving a "small world story" amazed us both . . . we were driving through Harrisburg, PA when Aunt Becca called (Mom's younger sister) to chat(she lives in Ithaca,New York). This is how the conversation unfolded:
Becca: "What are you up to?"
Mom: "Driving to NJ with Hannah for (cousin)Becca and Kristen's shower"
Becca: "I'm driving home from Baltimore"
Mom: " Where are you?"
Becca: " Harrisburg, PA"
Mom and Becca: "No way, we are in Harrisburg, PA too! What mile marker are you driving by? Have you crossed the river?, etc . . . . lots of fast talking and screaming :-)"
Eventually we figured out we were within 5 miles of eachother on the interstate so we stopped at a rest area, shared a few hugs and laughs and took lovely self portrait.

We then all parted ways and continued driving.
Friday night we arrived in NJ, had a nice dinner with family and got to meet Kristen and Becca's future mother-in-laws.

Saturday morning it was up early to drive into New York City to attend Becca's dress fitting at Kleinfelds. It was a chilly but beautiful day and so fun to get the opportunity to be driven into NYC by someone who knows it like the back of her hand. We had blast at the fitting; Becca had quite the entourage of 10 women and we were able to get a sneak peek at Kristen's beautiful dress as well! Additionally TLC was taping for "Say Yes to the Dress" that day so may of the consultants on the show were around :-) for a quick "celebrity" spotting.


After the dress fitting we drove back to NJ for the main event, a dual bridal shower for Becca and Kristen. It was a blast, lots of great food, fun games and great company. That night was spent back at the Schneider's house relaxing sharing stories.


Sunday Mom and I drove back to Blacksburg and met Dad and Grandad for a quick dinner before heading to bed.

Monday morning I drove to Roanoke, flew to Orlando and then drove back to Gainesville . . . arriving just in time for Mark to get home from work. Now it's back to reality and although it was a weekend of constant travel it was a BLAST! I can't wait for Becca and Kristen's weddings this summer, and to spend more time with everyone we met this weekend!
