Upcoming Adventures in Zelmanland

We have so much coming up in a short period of time that I feel like my head is gonna explode even though I have a MILLION lists to try and keep myself together and keep it all straight. 

Tomorrow: I plan to tackle laundry and get a few items marked off my "to-do" list for the house (like cleaning bathrooms, vacuuming and putting up a well needed baby gate to block the stairs to the basement--that may be a little over zealous to think I can get this all done but I'll try)
I'm finally getting my hair done.  Mama needs some pampering in her life like WHOA! I think I'm gonna stick with more traditional colors this time even though RED RED was pretty fun to at least say I tried it :P

Saturday: We're taking another trip into DC.  This time Uncle Dan might be tagging along for the fun. We're planning to visit the Newseum since none of us have ever been and have been meaning too especially after we saw an episode of Restaurant Impossible with Robert Irvine tearing it up there! Hoping to maybe get in a few other fun sights on our trip as well. We're heading over to visit with Matt's parents that evening.

Sunday: My very first Mother's Day! :) I'm beyond excited because the boys have a lot of surprises that I cannot wait to share with y'all on Monday when I give you a little weekend update ;)

Next Weekend: We will officially be celebrating our anniversary. Friday night we have tickets to see the Black Keys at Merriweather.  Saturday we have some friends that will be getting married at The Mayflower Renaissance Hotel in Washington, DC. We decided that there would be no way we were gonna be driving back to Centreville, much less cabbing....so this is the perfect opportunity to have our first night away from Noah (**insert deer in the heads light look**).  Needless to say I have mixed emotions: on the one hand I do not want to leave my baby, on the other I'm excited to get dressed up and have some adult time with good friends and the hubby. My parents and sister Kateland will be coming in for the weekend to spend time with Noah. Excitement mixed with slight anxiety over leaving my baby for the first time.  Add getting a dress for the wedding on my to-do list for next week, luckily I have plans with A to go so we can both get gussied up for the big event. :)

Memorial Day Weekend: Noah will be 8 months on that Friday...O M G! Where is the time going seriously!?!?  We have no real plans for the weekend, but if we stay in the area we def want to spend some time outside either in DC or at one of the parks nearby. :)

First Weekend in June: We will be taking a family trip to Pittsburgh to celebrate Matt's birthday with good food, a visit to the Andy Warhol museum and who knows what else we might find. :)

Second Weekend in June: Our ONLY weekend at home the entire month...jeepers! So we will def make the most of it with lots of family jammers cuddle time and cleaning/prepping for all our upcoming travels. 

Third Weekend in June: My cousin Jacob will be graduating High School which means both of his sisters will be flying in (Las Vegas and Turkey) for the occasion.  Noah will get to meet both Lisa and Linda, as well as his second cousins Clara and David :) Exciting times.  Marks the beginning of the annual Bradshaw Beach Week at the Outer Banks in North Carolina.  And I am BEYOND excited to see Noah in the sand and sun in his super cute swim trunks! :) That Sunday will be Father's Day and we have some HUGE surprises in store for Matt :) I'm super excited to celebrate his first Father's Day just the three of us together :)

Fourth Weekend in June: We'll be wrapping up our nice little week vacation at the beach and heading back to NOVA to tackle tons of laundry just to do it all over again on Friday...

Last weekend in June: Friday June 29th kicks off our second vacation this time with the Zelman Family. We fly out to Seattle to catch our cruise ship! That's right folks...Noah and I will be taking our very first cruise together! :) At least Mama has one up on the boys in that she's actually visited Alaska before :P We'll be making stops in Alaska and Victoria, British Columbia.  Wait until you see Noah's formal dining cruise outfits...to die for! :)  Thank you Zulilly for hooking me up with some AMAZING deals!  Now I just need to convince Matt that Noah needs this little number and we're all set ;)

We will get back to Seattle on Friday July 6th, so we are staying the weekend to take in some sights (can we say the Original Starbs!?!?)

Lots to look forward to and get prepared for! :) YAY!
