things i enjoyed on my vacation

i read what i wrote the other day about how happy i was to be home, and i felt bad. so here's a list of things i actually enjoyed, so you don't think i had a bad time.

--IKEA store in Woodbridge, VA. first trip to an IKEA. magical. i bought a lamp and a sharp knife. it was just so cool. i wish they had one closer to here than Houston.

--Fashion Centre at Pentagon City. a mall that has a metro station in the basement. you never even have to step foot outside. how cool is that? and it was 3 stories of shops! with a sephora! and a crate and barrel! how much more could a girl ask for? (the pottery barn was opening soon...)

--Traffic, fender benders, HOV lanes, metro trains. i think i already said how i loved the bustle of the city, those are just some samples of why. i would love to not have to drive to work! especially since they've got the freeway completely torn up on I-30 in SW. build me a metro station!!

--gorgeous eye candy. i think i want a job at the pentagon. the men that rode the train (and got off there) wearing those military uniforms were so nice to look at. i already pledged not to ever ask anyone out again, and i'm sticking to that, but why do those people all have to live 16 hrs away? where's the good LR eye candy?

--most of the museums were free! and it only cost 5 bucks to ride the metro all day all over the city! although i'm kind of bummed that i didn't get to go to the art museum and see the Van Gogh's (my family isn't into that for some reason), the American History museum was pretty awesome and so was the Air and Space. and brad and i had a lot of fun just riding the metro and getting off and see what was at that stop and then getting back on and going somewhere else. that's how we ended up at the Pentagon City mall.

now i have to get ready to go to work. bah! i need a new job. at the pentagon.
