Memorial Day Weekend in Baltimore
While many people fought off traffic on beach trips for the extended weekend, the Mister and I took advantage of our extra long weekend for some much needed catching up on our to-do list and some serious R&R. Friday, we headed back up to my old apartment to repaint several of the rooms back to their stark white (and totally drab if I say so myself) state.
