Weekend Reprieve

IMG_3502{Magnolia blossoms across the street from the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.}

What is it about taking a Friday off from work to enhance your weekend? Is it the added daylight hours or the warmer weather that forces one to sneak off from work? Well for me this added indulgence means heading off to the galleries to see what’s on in Washington DC or the surrounding metropolitan area.

A painting by Claude Monet at the Kreeger, which is a private museum and the former home of David and Carmen Kreeger. Their home was designed by modernist architect Philip Johnson. The couple collected paintings and sculptures from the 19th and 20th century with works by Boudin, Cezanne, Picasso, Van Gogh and Washington’s own artist Sam Gilliam.

And, lastly nothing is more priceless than having dinner with family at our favorite restaurant {Timbuktu’s} in Maryland for crabs, scallops and lobster. We get together each spring break for fun and frivolities.

Stay stylish,

Eastern Shore {Favorites}

IMG_2285IMG_1974When at the shore it is only natural to explore the community and all it has to offer. So, hop in a boat and skirt the Atlantic with the wind in your face, braving the currents and waves to find the tastiest crabs and clams or drive over to the Rehoboth Boardwalk for treats {salt-water taffy and caramel corn} with the family.
