Hi Everyone!

I just spent a wonderful 4 days in the DC/Baltimore area and I wanted to share it all with you and let you know who I saw! If I had been more on top of things you would have seen pictures…but you will just have to imagine how awesome it was!!!

THURSDAY

This was my first day – so it started with an early flight out of Boston and then picking up my rental car in Baltimore. I thought I was getting an SUV…but no…I got something else that I can’t pronounce. Oh well – it worked! Thursday night was fantastic, I had dinner with staff members Burt Stanko, Carrie Bacharach, Hope Snodgrass, Krisia Jones and Abby Himmelrich! It was great – we went to Thai Derm – someplace Burt recommended and we spent hours talking about camp!

FRIDAY

I actually got to sleep in on Friday before heading to Rockville to hang out with former camper and cit Ayla Gudelsky and her mom! We had a blast. We had lunch at Panera…which turns out to be 2 minutes from Ayla’s house…but I didn’t know that so we drove…only for Ayla to tell me – she doesn’t walk. Ha ha! If she comes back to camp, we better keep that golf cart locked down!

Friday night I left Rockville and headed slightly south to Chevy Chase to have dinner with Session 1 families – Annie and Maya Small, Abby Alpern-Fisch and Jessica Mason – and all of their parents! It was friday so do you know what we had for dinner? Pizza Pizza Pizza…every friday night…and yes we sang the song!!! The table was even decorated with little pink flamingo confetti in honor of 2010 Senior – Annie Small! Oh and we had ice cream sundae’s for dessert – YUM!!!

SATURDAY

This is what I call – Bethesda Day – I spent ALL day in Bethesda, MD!!!

It started with a fantastic breakfast with session 2 – Bella Godes and her cove pal and 2009 senior Lilly Mudge! We had so much fun – Bella showed us her Wii skills and I think Lilly may have scored a babysitting job!!

Next on the list was afternoon hot chocolate with second session Meredith Bergman! It was so much fun. Turned out Meredith had been at a Bat Mitzvah earlier that morning and ran into her FC friend Rachel Ordan…who I was going to see later in the day – what a small Fernwood Cove world!!

Later on Saturday I went to visit session 2 former campers 2005 senior Ellie and 2007 senior Alex Rogers and 2010 senior Emily Rogers at their house with many others! I had a chance to see session 2 campers Rachel Ordan, Hellen Warren and Grace Steinwurtzel!! I also got to see former session 2 campers 2005 senior Nicole and 2008 senior Natalie Berkman! We had so much fun! After everyone left it was just me and the Rogers and I have never laughed so hard while eating dinner…which by the way was thai food – if you have ever had the thai mango salad…not so good – thanks for that suggestion Berkman! Rogers – thanks for allowing me to see a true Roger’s House dinner!!!

SUNDAY

This day started off driving to see session 1 Gabby Eng! I had a terrific breakfast of waffles…and even got to see Jackson the dog come back into the house carrying a deer foot…yup – yuck! After breakfast we played a game of Qwirkle – BEST GAME EVER!!! Gabby is going to bring it to camp. Oh I won – maybe that’s why I liked it so much.

After my killing at Qwirkle I headed to Reisterstown to watch the Patriots/Ravens game with session 1 former camper, current counselor Abby Himmelrich and her sister former camper 2008 senior Molly Himmelrich. Also there was counselor Krisia Jones and former camper/current counselor Carrie Bacharach and her sister former camper 2008 senior Laura Bacharach. But how can I forget the Shapiros – yup current camper Rebecca Shapiro, her sisters current CIT Leah Shapiro and former camper/cit, 2007 senior Rachel Shapiro were there with their parents. We had a blast, although the Ravens put the smack down on the Patriots!!! It was a terrible game for me – but a great day hanging out with my FC friends!

Following the game – it was off to Annapolis to hang out with session 2 camp nurse MJ Eckert and 2010 senior Libby Eckert! I arrived to their house before MJ – so I had the chance to help out Libby with her math homework! We had so much fun I think we both LOVE geometry now! Thanks for letting me help! After a wonderfully home cooked meal – it was some more hanging out until it was time for bed!

MONDAY

This was the sad day – I had to leave my friends in DC/MD – I hopped on an early flight out of there and got home in time to take a nap and recover from my fantastic trip! Now it’s off to do laundry!

Thanks for the fun times! I can’t wait to see everyone back at camp – or next year when I return to the area!
