The weekend of November 7th, my dear friend Malinda made the long road trip, by herself, down to visit me in Maryland! A visit I had been looking forward too for weeks and I enjoyed every minute of her stay! Malinda is such a dedicated friend, b/c our other friend was supposed to make the trip with her, but couldn't make, but Malinda still made the trip! Thanks Malinda! I had so much fun!:)

We had a great visit! She got into town about 4pm and we had a great time catching up and talking while Matt was still at work! It was great to finally have a friend visit me! Matt has had lots of visitors, but Malinda is officially MY first visitor!:)
Saturday, we headed into DC. We were going to take a boat trip, but the day turned out beautiful (it was raining in the morning when we woke up) and so we decided to walk around DC. We dropped our car off at the metro and took the metro in. We walked along the Mall, walked down to the WWII memorial and the Jefferson memorial and sat and people watched for awhile! Then we walked over to the White House and then headed to our favorite restaurant, Old Ebbitts! Then went home and I crashed hardcore on the couch, while Matt and Malinda watched Notre Dame.
Sunday, I got up early to make breakfast and then we drove to Arlington Cemetery. Wow, that was so neat, especially before Veteran's Day! And then Malinda headed back on her long trip back to MI!
It was a great weekend and so nice to catch up with such a dear friend! Thanks again Malinda for coming down for a visit!
