Sister Get Away ~ Celebrating Kim

Friday ~ Saturday

Susan, Kim and I got away together.

What a treat it was for us ~ we rarely do this ........JUST sisters.

The occasion was Kim's b'day ~ and Susan and I wanted to do something

really special for her. So......we met up (you notice we have Dianne with us ~ the 4th sister....who lives in CA) We went to Arlington Cemetery to visit our parents grave ( a special way to start our time together), had a drive by tour of the DC monuments, went to National Harbor..... and Old Town Alexandria. What a wonderful time we had!!!!!!! Flowers for the cemetery Our Daddy and Mother ~ A sweet time we had.

Our "get away" all done in HOT and HUMID weather.....

but we made it just fine!

Then headed over to the National Harbor ~

There it is!!!!!!

So beautiful and fun

Arriving at our hotel ~

:)

settling in ~

and the fun continues ~

We love spending time together!

We headed to the Gaylord to take it all in ~

Just beautiful

(and by the way, it is climate controlled ~

thus a dear place to us in the midst of the heat of the day!)

rode the elevator to the 16th floor

ate some lunch and got caught up

laughed and giggled

Amazed by the sand sculptures

truly a sight to behold

enjoyed flowers

and birds (yes, still IN the Gaylord)

We had the best time

(and remember we're still staying COOL

at the climate controlled hotel)!

We freshened up and headed to dinner

Found a great restaurant

had a great meal and more laughing to be had

What did we find as we left the restaurant .....

but the most beautiful sunset!

Gorgeous....relecting on the river

Walked down to the water

Um ~ beauuuuutiful........

Decided to take the water taxi over to Old Town

Water taxi

Lovely

Arriving at Old Town

Walking around Old Town

famous "glass man" ~ makes music with glasses full of water

topped the time off with ice cream ~ favorites of mint chocolate chip and lemon custard

Yum and cool

arriving back to the National Harbor on the water taxi

enjoyed the fountain show at the Gaylord.....

then headed to the hotel

to settle in .....

and talk into the night,

and of course, get some REST!

Enjoyed the shops this morning......and some lunch

before parting ways ~

{You will notice in most pictures ~ Dianne is with us! We took her with us the whole trip ~ we missed her. So.....Find Dianne (like Find Waldo)! }

Ohhhhhh, what a wonderful time we had!

Cherished time.
