My trip to NOVA

On the way home from London, I decided to stop and visit my dear friend Julia Simmons and boyfriend Matt Rita. Who both conveniently live in Northern Virginia just 20 minutes out of Washington DC!

My PLAN was to stay with Julia for most of the time and then pop in to say "hello" to Matt and his wonderful family. Little did I know Julia had other plans! She decided to "accidentally" get sent to the ER and have gallbladder surgery during my ENTIRE stay in NOVA. Thus making it very difficult for her to show me around town. Her whole family was so sweet to welcome me into their home and take care of me even though they had their hands full with Julia being in the hospital. But I'm still convinced Julia did this all to avoid me (only kidding).

Since Matt lives in VA as well, he would take me around during the day to see the sites around town, and then I'd see Julia in the mornings and evenings. It worked out quite well, but still not as planned. It was SO nice getting to meet Matt's wonderful family. They were also so welcoming, and made me feel right at home! The Simmon's and the Rita's are some of the best people out there! So kind and fun! I hope I can go out there and visit them all again soon :)

Julia is doing well, the surgeries went fine and she is on the mend!
