And Away I Went...

My road trip two weekends ago into Pennsylvania was highly successful!

I saw:

• Sister's 1 and 2
• my freshman college roommate, SK-B
• her 3-year old son, for the first time
• an episode of Mad Men when it actually aired (I don't have cable)
• a new-to-me IKEA in Conshohocken, PA
• movie costumes actually worn by Bette Davis, James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor, etc.*
• an Amish buggy and horse
• lots of cows and horses
• a half-size race horse masquerading as Sister 2's year-old "puppy"!

I drove:

• through 5 states (VA, MD, DE, PA, NJ)
• and put over 500 miles on my car
• during a holiday weekend and had no traffic problems at all!

I also received from my sisters a Coach bag (used) for interviews, a wooden egg sock darner, multiple yards of white eyelet fabric, and about 10 issues of More magazine.

Oh, and while I was away I was mentioned on awesome Australian blog I Wanna Frock and Roll All Night. Moggy took my suggestion and made the Sew Stylish One-Hour Dress. I would love it if anyone who has made that dress would post about it, for it really is a quick and satisfying sew. A great first sewing project.

Viva la roadtrip!
