  • Great Falls Park

    Great Falls Park

    D and I recently took a few day trips out of DC. You know, get out of town to clear the mind and do something good for the soul. One of the last times, we ventured out to Great Falls Park in Virginia. And you guys, it’s gorgeous out there! **I should preface that the…

  • Another Vegas Trip

    Another Vegas Trip

    Hey friends and fam. If you were following me on instagram (@mari_delosreyes), you may have noticed that I was in Vegas… AGAIN!!! D and I were in Vegas last weekend to celebrate a friend’s Dirty Thirty. We went club hopping, saw LOVE, ate some pizza, toured a cactus garden, bought some cigars, relaxed by the…

  • Jamestowne in May

    Jamestowne in May

    Derek’s parents were in town this past week and it was their first time visiting us since we moved here to D.C. Wanting to give them the best of the best time here, we crammed a lot of sightseeing into their 8 days with us. Yummy foods, monuments, memorials, tours, etc. I think we wore…

  • D’s Birthday

    D’s Birthday

    D’s birthday was a month ago. I know, I’m late blogging about it. I have no excuse… Just like my birthday, we had a week-long celebration for D’s – taking a short trip out of town to Williamsburg and throwing a dinner party for him with friends. Williamsburg is probably one of our favorite getaways…

  • Our 2014 Vacation

    Our 2014 Vacation

    Vacation days are meant to be used!!!! If you haven’t used any vacation days, you’re well on your way to hating your job, your life, your situation, everything. No joke. I grew up believing that hard work pays off. It does, but it doesn’t. You can work 12 hr days, churn out paperwork like a…

  • Mom’s Visit to the District

    Mom’s Visit to the District

    My mom recently visited me for two weeks in May. I know, some folks think two weeks is a really, really, long time. But it went by like a flash and we had fun sightseeing and eating. Parents have that weird sixth sense that some thing’s not right with their child. Whether it’s knowing that…

  • A Vegas Wedding

    A Vegas Wedding

    Let me tell you, my friend Crystal is AMAZING. I love her (like totally love her) and deeply cherish our friendship – which is filled with milk tea, lavender bacon ice cream, and a Korean bbq obsession. When Hung told me he was going to propose to her at his nursing school graduation, I was…

  • Virginia Beach

    Virginia Beach

    Every year D and I end up going somewhere new. It’s become sort of a tradition. Especially if D is off for three days straight. This year, when the opportunity presented itself in August, we packed a bag and ran out the door to explore Virginia Beach. I should preface that we selected Virginia Beach…

  • Two Years

    Two Years

    Our Two Year Anniversary Derek and I have known each other since we were nine years old, having the same third grade class taught by Mrs. Mansfield. We were itty, bitty, beans. He was a newly transferred student. I was the teacher’s pet, the perfectionist. Who knew 15 years later, we would meet up again,…

  • Road Trip

    Road Trip

    Colonial Williamsburg Trip Derek came home one day last year. And just like any other typical evening, I asked him how work was and if he knew his schedule for the coming week. He replied with something along the lines of 3-day weekend. =P And just like that, this Sagittarius had her mind racing with…
