My niece Melissa lives in DC ... her mom (my sister a CA resident), 2 other sisters (one from MA and one from ME) along with another niece (from VT) descended on DC to see a few days in the life of Melissa. We had the time of our lives! We used the Sanctuary as our base and it was just perfect. We loved the way the open living room/kitchen area worked for all of us to sit and chat and catch up. We stayed up late talking and remembering how much we missed one other and being a part of every day life for each other. Our Melissa has some great friends that we met at a dinner party she hosted. We went to her workplace "Down Dog Yoga" and met yet another group of nice people. They love her and and clearly she loves them back and is very happy. We did some sightseeing and a fair amount of shopping. Always spending a little extra time at lunch or enjoying a cupcake or waiting for someone to make a purchase to talk and laugh. We were never more than a few feet of each other. It was a wonderful wonderful time... Thinking it might me a yearly thing.
