Three day weekends ?

Thank you to the men and women who sacrificed it all to ensure that each day
I can wake up and live a life full of freedoms that so many do not have.

------------------

I'm the biggest advocate of three day weekends. Two day weekends are just not enough.
It's amazing how much better you feel on Sunday when you know you have an additional day off.

The weather forecast completely threw us off. We had plans leading up to the weekend but then the weather forecast had us believing that we were going to have non-stop rain all weekend. Last Thursday, the plans I made with Cinthia were scratched because they were all outdoor activities. Then Saturday arrives and it is a beautiful day! I called Cinthia to see if we could do what we planned and unfortunately because we thought we would be indoors all weekend she had just started painting her upstairs.

So, Sean and I decided to go to the farmers' market for breakfast sandwiches and to pick up a few things for us to grill that evening. I got my baguette from my favorite local bakery and found a majestic palm that we knew would go perfect in our sitting room.

Saturday evening, we listened to live music downtown. Every weekend, all summer long, our town holds free live concerts and we try to make as many as we can before the summer is over. I'm one of those people who can listen to pretty much anything (I draw the line on country) so I tend to always enjoy myself at these things.

We were pretty productive this weekend so I'm not too mad about the weather forecast.

Sunday was another beautiful day but we had plans to do some housework. We cleaned up the patio and deck furniture, did a little painting over scruff marks, meal prepped and binged on Bloodline. We both hated the end and to be honest I'm still confused.

On Monday, the weather forecast was finally right. It rained all day. I grocery shopped for the week, did some light housework and baked mac and cheese for dinner at the request of Sean. I wish it were one of those things I could make often. It is so delicious and easy to make! It was one of those weekends that I felt relaxed enough that work the following day did not produce that "ugh" feeling.

Lunch at The Shelby

Image
I love having go-to restaurants but I also enjoy trying new restaurants; as I�m always hoping to add a new favorite to the ever-growing list. When I checked out The Shelby for the first time several months ago, I knew that I had to go back again with my camera to take proper pictures as I found this place to be so striking. What better place to share than on here? When I got the chance to visit again, I made sure to bring my camera along. Cinthia and Sean haven�t had the opportunity to try this place yet so I know another visit is in my near future and I already can�t wait. How funny is it that gorgeous restaurants (and good food) get me this excited? Their cheese curds are amazing. Although, they tasted a little different from the first time I tried them, still so good! Their drink list is also so extensive and I�m looking forward to trying more things on their food and drink menu.

Bellagio Gardens.

Image
Although, fall seems to be a thing of the past right now I can�t not share how beautifully the Bellagio in Vegas was decorated in October. To be honest, I don�t really have to do much writing because I believe that the pictures speak for themselves, and even they do not do it justice. The Bellagio decorates for every season and I wish I could see how it is decorated for Christmas in person. I can�t even imagine the amount of work, time and creativity that it takes to do all of this. I have a few several more posts that I�ll share about our Vegas trip. I am aware that after a while one Vegas trip looks the same as the last but I�ve been sharing all our Vegas trips since 2010 so at this point, what�s the point of stopping? ;) Hope you all have wonderful weekends and happy Friday! ♥

Goodbye to summer.

Image
This summer was a really great one. I was able to spend a lot of time with friends and family. There have been several favorite moments of this summer that I did not get a chance to share here. Summer tends to get busy so being behind my computer is usually the last thing I want to do, but I still want these small happenings to be documented here. Sean and I traveled to upstate NY for Luke and Danielle�s summer barbeque. I did not take any pictures but we had such a good time! If you can remember we visited them in the spring and they are finally back in their house and are so happy to be home. The following day, Colleen threw a brunch for a Pampered Chef party and I ended up buying way too many things. But if there is anything I know I�ll use, it�s kitchen stuff. Here�s a few pictures I took at Colleen's brunch. I did so poorly taking pictures that weekend. I guess, I was too busy catching up ... Seriously, the best cheeses ever. Sean and I went to our local fair and h
