Meghan and I have almost-matching birthdays and wanted to celebrate our 20th anniversary of being friends, so we went on a road trip! January 17 through 23, 2014.

Friday, January 17

Our first drive was from Tampa to Charleston! We stopped at this Olive Garden for dinner.

We ate lemon cake to celebrate our birthday.

Saturday, January 18

Meggie is shopping and she visited with her Muppet friends!

My hands stayed warm while shopping because of the hand warmers my sister knitted me. :)

We bought cupcakes at this cool cupcake shop.

   We got these cupcakes for our cake fix.

Meg's dad had this giant ottoman.

Sunday, January 19

In Myrtle Beach, we found this weird boot while shopping. We also got candy and fudge.

This house at Broadway On the Beach was upside-down.

Monday, January 20

In the morning we ate some cupcakes.

We drove to the DC area and met friends for dinner! Here are Cara, Jessie, and Ammy!

The other side of the table was Meg, me, and Liz. We had Thai food.

Tuesday, January 21

It snowed and work was canceled for our friends! Here I am outside in the snow.

Meggie in the snow.

Snow all over the place!

Cara came over and had tea. She's using a really cute duck-shaped infuser!

  We had candy necklaces so we ate them all together.

Cara REALLY liked Meghan's guacamole. We had homemade enchiladas for dinner!

Nope, too cold out there.

Jessie played with her cat, Calliope.

Cupcakes for our daily cupcakeness! We shared. :)

That cat was clearly plotting evil.

Wednesday, January 22

  Meghan's car, with Florida plates, covered in snow!

     These are our cupcakes we got in Charlotte.

We did Restaurant Week in Charlotte, and this was my appetizer at the Japanese restaurant.

This is my teppanyaki vegetable dinner.

Meg is having her dinner!

I'm eating my veggies.

Thursday, January 23

  And here are the last cupcakes of our trip, which we ate once we'd returned safely to Tampa.
