Birthday Weekend Before the Birthday Weekend

It was such a great weekend, and I was glad I was able to celebrate my birthday a week before it arrives with my friends down here.  I felt like I did so much in this little 3 day time frame then I have in a weekend since I moved down here.

Friday after work, Allison and I decided to head straight to Redline in Chinatown and it was great.  Other than the fact that their air conditioning and broken and everyone was sweaty, the drinks made it okay.  My girlfriends from Penn State, Brittany and Amy joined us and the bartender was so nice he gave us complimentary glasses of champagne.  Maybe it was the confused look we gave everyone that was coming up to the bar and saying random band names and getting free champagne that did it, but we felt very Sex &  the City like sitting with our glasses.  All four of us.  I wonder which character I would be?  Hopefully not Samantha by default of the same name.  I'm not nearly as fashionable as Carrie even though I would kill for some of her wardrobe.  Oh well, something to think about another day.  After Redline we headed to Rocket Bar and had a great time requesting country songs on the jukebox in between jams of 50 cent and Lil Wayne.  It was a great evening, but I was definitely ready for bed probably 2 hours before my head landed on the pillow.

Saturday was the perfect day to lay poolside, which conveniently B & A have in their complex so there we headed.  After putting in some hours in the sun, we decided we were going to go to the baseball game.  Now, I don't cheer for the Nationals or the Phillies (womp womp) but, I am not one to turn down a sporting event.  No Sir.  And I have to say that I love everything about the Nationals stadium.  The 2 bars they have outside centerfield gate is just bustling with young people that it's a great place to meet new friends!  Since the Phillies were in town, the stadium was packed.  There wasn't really much of watching the game going on, just a lot of chatting and enjoying each others company.

Today was perfect to wrap up a good weekend.  Amy and I had brunch with Kate and her boyf at Cheesecake Factory and then laid low while it monsooned outside.  Let's hope that weather passes before I have to walk to work tomorrow!  This girl's hair doesn't play well with rain, or humidity, or really anything for that matter.  I hope everyone had a great weekend!  T-5 days til the big 2-4!!

Until the next time,
