Spring made an appearance!

IMG_4291

Guys, we finally got spring like weather (80s!!!) and we made sure to take advantage of it. Good thing too because we are back in the 40s & 50s this week. Not nice spring, not nice. We first enjoyed coffee and breakfast on the deck and then went to the gym for a workout. We had big plans to work on our front and back yards after the gym as Mr. Sean did not rake up the leaves last fall.

Since it was going to be such a nice day, I decided that I'd help him, ha. I know how that sounds but I love informing everyone that I�m responsible for the inside cleaning & he�s responsible for the outside cleaning, also known as, raking, mowing, shoveling, etc. Anyway, regardless of how much work it was, it was actually very enjoyable & I believe our workouts earlier in the day helped to give us the energy we needed to work several hours in the front and back yards. But let's be honest, with the weather being so nice it made me want to be outside all day. The dogs were loving it too and practically took sunbaths the entire day.

After working in our front and back yards we took the dogs out for a long walk that way they could also swim in the lake afterwards. Well, Izabella did the swimming and Walker did the, "do not put me in the water" thing.

Since we took all of our patio furniture out from the shed Friday night, we took a quick trip to Wegmans that way we could pick up a few things to grill for dinner Saturday evening. I seasoned the chicken Friday night and allowed it to marinate overnight for extra tastiness. I have to say that if there is one simple thing we both enjoy it is having our first grilled dinner on the first nice day of the year. We make it a bit of a big deal the first time and it really is just a treat after such a long and brutal winter.

The cheap champagne was for celebrating closing on our 5th rental property and finally becoming an LLC :)
We soon added orange juice that way we could have mimosas, yum!

Since we wanted to enjoy the weather as much as possible, after dinner we went downtown for a little walk. Everyone was out and about enjoying the beautiful weather and it was just so nice to finally have such great weather and to know that these days will soon not be a rarity. I hope you all had wonderful weekends and that you�re having better weather than we're having this week! ♥

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
