Kara Goes to Washington, D.C. {last day, plus Fall Foliage}

I certainly didn't plan this trip (like at all), but if I had, I couldn't have picked a better time to go to DC and enjoy the gorgeous fall foliage.  We get a bit of fall foliage here in Texas, but the colors are not the same as in DC.  I just couldn't get enough.  Seeing these sights made me think of the quote from Ann of Green Gables, "I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers."

Because I have so many pics of the beautiful golds, reds, and oranges, I decided to put them all in one post.

Get ready for Fall Overload!
















I took this pics from my phone as the cab zipped down the road...

On Saturday, I got to the airport way too early, so I had the cab drive me to Alexandria, VA to look at more leaves!  I took these in Old Town Alexandria...



It was such a great trip!  I feel really fortunate to have been invited to such a great event, and have had the ability to drop everything and go.  I got on the plane sad about going home, but had the pleasure of sitting behind Cory's Aunt and Uncle.  We got to talk along the way, so the fun continued!

All I have found is that there are reports of some drama on the set between Kim Cattrall and SJP.  Of course there have been reports in the past that these two gals didn't get along (personally I think it is just because KC is a little too big for her britches and doesn't seem to always remember that SJP is an executive producer and Carrie is, well the star ).  There are also reports that SJP is possibly a little overwhelmed with having the two new twin girls and little James Wilkie to take care of...
