Rob and I are flying to Virginia today (for the last time until the wedding!) to get our marriage license, and for me to attend a lovely bridal shower that my mom's sweet friends were kind enough to throw in my honor.

This really has been the most amazing year of celebrations and champagne toasts, and I feel so lucky that after an engagement party, a couple of super-fun photo shoots, a fantastic bachelorette weekend, and now this spring bridal shower that I've been looking forward to for months, I still get to top it all off a month from now by marrying the best guy I know.

What's everyone else up to this weekend, and how's the weather where you are?

Last weekend, I was in Washington DC with a group of my very best girlfriends for my bachelorette party. It started, like most good things, with brunch. After head massages and blowouts at Drybar, but before a sweet hotel bridal shower with wine provided by La Crema, we headed to Founding Farmers for some amazing food and gorgeous cocktails.

After brunch, we headed back to our hotel for a little bridal shower. My Maid of Honor, Tina, did such a fantastic job putting together decorations and games and even got Rob to answer some questions in a really cute video for us to watch. And La Crema was nice enough to provide us with some of their new Pinot Gris for the party!

We usually drink their Chardonnay at home, but the Pinot Gris is just perfect for a girls' weekend away--first of all (and kind of a silly thing to point out, but whatever), the bottles have screw tops instead of traditional corks, which makes opening them up in a hotel room that much easier. And it's just a great "oh my God, spring is almost here" wine. (You can read more about it here). Tina also put out grapes, gluten-free crackers, cheese, and chocolate-covered strawberries and we all had the best time together.

My mom even came for brunch and the shower! She brought her friend Linda (my friend Patrick's mother) and a homemade veil and fake bouquet. After the party, we explored Georgetown a bit more before getting ready for a fabulous girls' dinner at Del Campo. It was exactly what I had in mind for my bachelorette weekend, and I miss everyone so much already.

I'm flying to Virginia this morning to spend a week at home before heading to DC for my bachelorette weekend! I haven't been back since Christmas, so this visit feels long overdue. I can't wait to spend time with my family, see my friends, and hopefully soak up some warmer weather.

I have some posts scheduled while I'm gone (and a new design to launch really soon!), but feel free to follow along with me in real time on Instagram. Hope you have a wonderful Friday! What are you up to this weekend?
