First weekend of June!

I love love love June. For so many reasons. It's my birthday month, as well as the month Kyle and I were married! Plus, June is the beginning of summer, which is my favorite time because it signifies that there are still 2 more months of glorious weather to be had :)

This weekend was quite a busy one. One of my sorority sisters, Nancy, came down from NYC to visit me in DC on Thursday night, to stay through the weekend. Thursday night we went to Clyde's, which is right across the street from where I live, and we sat outside on the patio, next to a Jamaican band playing. The weather was amazing, and to top it off, my Guinness had a perfect four leaf clover drawn onto the foam! Friday night we headed to Georgetown for some shopping and Georgetown cupcake. Georgetown Cupcake is seriously my favorite cupcakes, even though I feel like such a tourist every time I go in there. This is actually my first time inside the Georgetown location, bc I normally like to go to the Bethesda one (which is very close to me) since it's normally locals who populate it, and there really is no line most of the time. After Georgetown, we both came back and went to sleep REALLY early because the next day was the Race for the Cure! Saturday morning (like, 6am), we headed out to get Emily, then went down to the Mall for the race. It was a BEAUTIFUL day for a 5k, and it was super cool. We had a lot of fun! Emily and I didn't manage to beat our time from our last 5k, but it was because we spent most of the time dodging walkers and kids and strollers. Ugh.

After the 5k, we showered, cleaned up, then headed to Baltimore! Baltimore Inner Harbor is SUCH a pretty area, and so is Fells Point. We walked around, got sunburned, ate at a GREAT crab shack place, and basically spent the afternoon/night just hanging out. It was very relaxing.
