Global Komen Race

This week I went to Washington DC for work. I extended my trip so I could spend an extra day being a tourist and then participate in the first ever global Komen race. This was the first time I have been to D.C., and I can't wait to go back. On my tourist day I visited the international spy museum, the halocaust museum, and did a monument walking tour. I had a great time, even though I had to walk a really long way from the Lincon Memorial to my hotel in the pouring rain.

The Komen race was amazing. My work is a series sponsor so we got the VIP treatment. I got to shake hands with vice president Joe Biden. I also saw other celebrities such as Sarah Chalke from scrubs, Candy Coburn (an upcoming country singer), Lalah Hathaway (singer), princess Katherine and prince Alexander of Serbia.

And the icing on the cake. When I was checking out of my hotel I saw Dr. Ruth!!!

Guiness, Murphy's, Jameson


So I am way way behind on my blog. In May C and I took our first official big trip together. We went to Ireland. We spent a week and a half driving around Western and South Western Ireland. Ireland is absolutely beautiful.


I am not going to say traveling together was perfect...it wasn't...for some reason I was super cranky. Spending 24/7 with someone is tough no matter who you are with. But, in the end C put up with my bull and we ended up having a great trip.


Here are just a few of the places we visited Cliffs of Moher, Doolin, Lisdoonvarna, Dingle, Michael Skilligs, Connor Pass, Kinsale, Cork, Charles Fort, Doolin Caves, Dingle Penninsula, etc... I kept a detailed journal of our adventures so I am not going to go into great detail. But, I will say that Ireland is definitely worth a visit...or two.
