Trip to Baltimore

Yesterday Cindi and I left to go on a girl's trip to Baltimore for the weekend. Cindi has a new GPS that she named Zoie (that's how she spells it) and although Cindi loves Zoie, she doesn't totally trust her judgement, so she also printed out the mapquest directions to get us to the hotel. As we were driving into DC, Zoie decided that we needed to go through the city because it was the better way, instead of going around. So Cindi kept saying, "I think we should be on 495, not 395", but I was on Zoie's side because she can actually talk and that's cool, so I convinced Cindi that Zoie knew what she was talking about and we should listen to her. Of course now Cindi thinks that Zoie just really wanted me to see DC because we were stuck in DC traffic for almost an hour because of her. But hey, I got to see some cool stuff, (at least it was cool to me) like the top of the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial.....

And the top of the Capitol Building....


Then we figured Zoie wanted us to eat dinner with the Bush Family because this is what we saw next....


Ha ha- good ole Zoie.... we finally made it to Baltimore! Today we went to Bulle Rock to watch the LPGA Championship, but no cameras were allowed so I don't have any pictures. It was 102 degrees without the humidity, and I brought sunscreen with an SPF of 55+, but obviously missed a few spots because this is basically what I looked like when we got back to the hotel.... (this is the top of my left arm)

Not the greatest picture, but you get the idea. (my other arm and sides of my neck are the same- very attractive!) I had forgotten that after Cindi sprayed me she didn't spray my shoulders, so being the dummy that I am, I rolled up my sleeves because I was hot and wasn't thinking. But anyway, we had a GREAT time- it was really cool to see all the celebrities playing, and we walked 9 holes. After seeing Annika Sorenstam play the ninth hole, we had enough and were so sweaty and tired that we decided to go back to the hotel to relax in the pool. Now we're back in our room and ready to go to bed because we're old. Ha! And tomorrow we'll head home. It has been a great weekend though, I'm not looking forward to going back home to clean house and wash clothes tomorrow!
