b-more

on a whim and without planning (i know- quite uncharacteristically of me), i decided to take a short trip to bmore to visit cassanova. she is one of my dearest friends and we go way back to grade school. we had been talking about taking a trip together in may but it had never panned out. i gave her a ring friday morning to see what her memorial weekend plans were. since she didn't have anything major planned, i decided to catch the train down to b-more on saturday and come back home on sunday afternoon.

got to penn station by 9:35 AM and was seated by 10 AM. luckily, my ipod is working again so i was able to just sit back, relax, and enjoy the view while being serenaded by ray charles.

cassanova picked me up from the train station. we met up with rdev and had lunch at paper moon. . an eccentric diner with wacky memoriabilia and random toys, antiques, and mannequins. since i was in MD, i decided to order the crabcake sandwich with a side of broccoli. it hit the spot.

after lunch, the three of us walked around johns hopkins campus, the outdoor statue exhibit, and ft. henry. it was a very pleasant afternoon of sightseeing, banter, and walking. around 5:30, rdev headed back to NOVA, cassanova and i did what we do best. talk. i love my girlfriends and being able to have those deep, philosophical conversations.

we're going to head out to dinner then regress to our college hay day and have a proper slumber party. . . cheesy chick flicks, bad for you snacks, and staying up til the wee hours talking. chicken soup for the female soul.
