So I went to Dubai last week. Don't worry, I'm sorting through pictures and getting ready to tell you all about it!
The trip was certainly a whirlwind and I was so grateful to come home to a staycation! I definitely made the most of my half week at home and I'm ready to tackle the week ahead! Here's what I did with my staycation!
I watched a lot of Netflix. I caught up on the current season of Scandal, watched the latest episodes of Once Upon a Time, watched a lot of The Goldbergs, and basically spent the entire day Wednesday in front of the TV.
I finally ran. I hadn't run since the Chicago Marathon but Thursday morning, I laced up my shoes and headed out for 3 easy miles around my neighborhood.
I read. I finished The Zookeeper's Wife and started All the President's Men.
I reorganized my desk/bookshelf area. It had become the landing pad in our apartment and wasn't being used as a desk. It's much cleaner now!
The Pilot and I took a trip to Mount Vernon where we ran into our landlord with her kids and spent the day exploring with them.
We took Peyton hiking in Rock Creek Park and had cupcakes at Baked and Wired. The foliage in Rock Creek was so pretty that I stopped hating fall for a minute (until I turned my clocks back that night).
We watched the World Series. It didn't end well.
I made a lattice top apple pie...and crossed another thing off of my 30 before 30 list!
I worked on my blog. I drafted a lot of posts, pulled together some awesome images, and started working on a new header. I've been toying around with a new header for ages, and after not being able to decide on one, I decided to get your feedback. So, which do you like better?

They both need some work, but I would love your feedback! Feel free to make some suggestions as well!
