Leaving Early

I get to leave work early today. Not that I actually DO all that much at work. But, it's still fun to get to leave early, especially on a holiday weekend. Although, my reason for the early departure isn't exactly fun. I'm taking Drew to the airport. He's leaving today to go on a much anticipated trip with his Dad to Italy and France. They are both really into cycling, so they are following the Tour de France. Plus, Drew's family owns a house in Italy (yeah I know, OWNS), so they will stay there for awhile. MEANWHILE, I'm stuck here in DC with NO vacation. Oh well, perhaps I will get to go to the free Italy house another time. Drew's taking a picture of me and Penny. So, I guess we're sort of getting to go (yeah right).

I do get to see the 4th celebration here for the first time. Last year I had gone back to school, so I missed out. From our new place, we have a great view of the Washington Monument. So, I'm hoping we can see the fireworks. So, at least there's that. I mean, Drew won't be able to see them from Italy. So there.
