the evolution of a summer vacation.

my frequent flyer miles have been waiting.... waiting.... waiting....

it all started with a san francisco trip.

then dfjoifhqeibqkgjsioduasdharioeg {or something like that} happened and we scrapped those plans.

then we were going to go to washington dc to see brooke.

{and i would have snuck in a little rachel}

then rweofusaiofhaslgtupogadasldujwioyhiofsa happened {or something like that} and we scrapped those plans.

so we went back to the drawing board and planned the ultimate nyc trip.

broadway shows {mary poppins!}, all the sweet treats we've heard so much about... and a trip inside a chinese trap door to reveal a wall of knock off handbags. and even some stephen colbert.

but today, dsjaoidsuafiohqwiofgioegboacjsoahciogheiohfachsafioasfuoeigeifu happened {seriously.} and those plans were scrapped.

so... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ROBIN!  i'm coming to florida!

i would appreciate it if you could line up a ricky martin sighting.  or gloria estefan.

... but i'll settle for some of fl's finest shopping, 100 degrees at 100% humidity, a lot of mom routine-ness, and some late night blog stalking and laughing and laughing and laughing and sips of fountain diet coke in between.

{carrie + adam richins: you're on the itinerary, too!}

seriously, happy birthday, robin.  i totally planned it this way.

and to celebrate, i'm working late and baking dark chocolate ghirardelli's brownies.
