i'm sailing away

One of my dearest friends Jenn turned 30th this last week and decided she wanted to do it in style, so we went sailing on Saturday. I have to admit that I've really never been sailing before, so I was excited to get a taste for it. We went sailing on the Chesapeake near Anapolis. Here is the Marina where we found out boat, the Pintita, sailed by none other than Captain Pete. He was a hilarious man who enjoyed our silliness and made the trip very enjoyable. Here is he giving the birthday girl a little pre-boating present. Jenn knows how to party. Before we had even left the marina, she handed out party favors, complete with sweet pirate tattoos and headscarves for all the girls. We had a hilarious time getting our tattoos on. Jocelyn had a sweet one of a scull and cross bones. Very piratesque.Ben sported his tat on his chest, also very pirate themed. Looking hot, Ben.

Thanks Andy, Diana, and Cristy for sporting those pirate tattoos so well!

Our "little" sailboat was beautiful! We took to the open seas (okay not really) and spent three glorious hours relaxing with friends, looking for jelly fish in the water, watching Trent get a little woozy from his Dramamine, laughing at Capt' Pete, and enjoying the beautiful sunset.

Jocelyn and I spent the majority of our time at the back of the boat, lounging in luxury. I'm not sure what we were we laughing at in this photo, but we did have a great time. And I'm so rocking the headscarf in Peru!

My dear friends Jenn, Diana, and Cristy looking smashing. One of the best benefits of being Jenn's friend is all of Jenn's other friends. She is the hub of social life, and I just love all the lovely women that I meet through her! Diana is a joy to be around and so hilarious. Cristy is always fun and makes you just want to get up and dance.

Lastly, but certainly not least, are all the girls with their matchy-matchy headscarves. Truly a wonderful evening, filled with incredible people and one of the funnest activities in DC. Birthday wishes to Jenn, and may this new year bring her peace, happiness, and even greater friendships.
