Summer fun began, somewhat randomly, on a Monday in Williamsburg!
Brad and I came up with the crazy plan to make a mid-week trip to see my parents. I needed to head to NYC for a conference later in the week and Brad needed to head to DC for work. Plus, we found out that there was a concert we wanted to see near my parents house on Tuesday night so we thought, why not drive to Williamsburg on Monday, hang with my parents for a bit, go see a concert Tuesday night and then drop me off at the airport on Wednesday AM to fly to NYC and Brad would continue the drive to DC?
Oh, and while we were at my parents, we figured we could squeeze in some golfing! This was officially my first time EVER setting foot on a golf course. I've been to the driving range but that was about it. So, needless to say it was ummm "interesting"? "kind of hysterical"? or maybe "sad" is more accurate? Anyway, I'm not sure what the right adjective is but let's just say I'm no golfing pro! It was fun though - and there were moments of hope that I could actually hit the ball (tho, more often there was proof that I suck but who's counting!)

On a side note, let me say that this trip was pretty typical of my bright ideas (note all the sarcasm there!). I'm pretty well known for taking on way too much and overestimating how much I can get accomplished in a day. So, here's what the week looked like ...
- Monday = work in NC, 3 hr drive to Casa Layburn, dinner with M&D in W'burg
- Tuesday = 7 AM tee time, work from Casa Layburn, drive an hr+ to concert and stay out late enjoying some great music
- Wednesday = earrrllllly morning flight to NYC, Brad drives to work in DC and Erin starts working in NYC, working late in to the night to prep for our 450+ conference that starts the next day
- Thursday = all day conference begins AND we have the bright idea to hold our Advisory Board meeting at the same time. So, day spent running up and down stairs from conference to Board meeting, trying to keep everyone productive and happy.
- Friday = conference all day followed by a quick drink with my team to celebrate a successful conference and then running off to meet up with JB for the night. Dinner, drinks and sleepover at JB's place - so good to catch up with my best friend from as long as I can remember!
- Saturday AM = make way across NYC to have brunch with a good buddy from the Booz Allen days. Good time reminiscing about the work days and thanking our lucky stars that we have both moved on to better things!
- Saturday PM = take the train to LI and meet up with my sister! Takeout food (and cake, yum!), watching movies and sleepover at her place. Awesome chill out time with my sis.
- Sunday = flight home after a productive week, making it back to NC in time to do some laundry, catch up with Brad and get ready for back to work the next morning!
