Over-due post

So, over Easter, my friend Rachel came to visit for her Spring Break, and lots of fun times were had! I knitted, she crocheted. We each made our way through The Hunger Games series. We had Tuttie Fruttie for lunch on two different occasions, as well as several meals of Panera Bread - not altogether healthy, but very delicious. The Chipotle Chicken Panini I got was AMAZING! The best meal, though, was at Medieval Times... mostly because Dayne upgraded us without us knowing, and we were in THE FRONT ROW! Rae even got a carnation from it! <.< I think the two of us were cheering and booing the loudest of our section. AND OUR KNIGHT WON!

We also spent a day in DC while she was here - the first time I went into DC without Dayne! I was so proud of myself. We just got on the Lightrail to Penn Station, took a train to Union Station, and then took the Metro from there. Nevermind that it would have been quicker to drive to Greenbelt Metro station, I didn't want to deal with the traffic and parking. >.> We spent at least two hours alone in the Museum of Natural History, touching everything we could, and some things we were supposed to (I'M LOOKING AT YOU RACHEL). By this point our feet were sore, so we walked to the WW2 Memorial and sat for awhile, and I soaked my feet. Oh! And we found out that the Washington Monument was closed off because it had gotten damaged during the earthquake that happened awhile ago. The Reflection Pool was closed off, too, because they're finally repairing it as well. We walked past it on our way to see Lincoln, and once we did that, we headed back to the Metro because we were TIRED.

Another day we took the Lightrail to the Inner Harbor, with the intention of possible going to the Aquarium, but it was PACKED, so we ate Potbelly for lunch and then wandered around the big Barnes and Nobel for awhile, and then headed home. But we didn't care that we didn't do much, because we got Potbelly, and that was worth it. Aaaaaand, I guess those are the big things we did! We also watched a bunch of Marvel movies. Captain America, Thor, First Class, Wolverine, X-Men 1 and 2... it was fun.

Through all this, I ate HORRIBLY, and the week after she left was bad, too, with trying to get back into the swing of things. I am proud to say that I didn't GAIN any weight during her stay, but I didn't lose any either. BTW, it won't be official until tomorrow when I do my weigh in, but I've lost 14 lbs since I started in February!
