Hey, heyyyy! Hope everyone is enjoying their Labor Day weekend! Josh took Friday off (I always have Friday’s off) so we’ve been enjoying ourselves for 3 days now. We originally wanted to go to Savannah, GA, but Josh didn’t want to spend 16 hours driving. So instead, we’ve been having a “staycation” at home. This is what we’ve been up to….
Friday:
We started off the day shopping, went to Las Palmas for lunch, as Chuy’s had a HUGE line, and finished off the night with sugar-cane ginger ale (it was so good! And I don’t even like ginger ale) and flavored kettle corn (I had jalapeno white cheddar, Josh had birthday cake) at Much Ado About Nothing (for Shakespeare in the park, Centennial Park that is).
Saturday:
I made a big breakfast of eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns then we ran off to Cheekwood Botanical Gardens. It was super hot, but really pretty and very kid friendly for those of you with tots. After that we tried to lunch at Tin Angel, but they were closed so we went to Rotier’s Restaurant and had some truly great burgers. We finished the night watching Batman Begins and making Dirty Monkeys, a favorite drink from out honeymoon. To really bring on September, I made some pumpkin spice cookies as well. Sooo good!
Sunday:
Got up this morning with the intention of going to Music in the Vines at Arrington Vineyards, but got rained out! After church I still managed to make us a cute “picnic” (okay it was in our living room) of chicken salad (I added bacon, green onions, and sunflower seeds), strawberries and cream, sea-salt chocolate, and Blackberry Arrington wine. Instead of live music, we listened to our Black Key’s Rubber Factory vinyl.
We even took some time to shame Optimus (it’s a funny site don’t worry, he’s still spoiled…and shaming him for eating his dog bed did not work). We finished off the day by having dinner at Waffle House, which is actually something we do most vacations, and then went over to the neighbor’s to play games.
Tomorrow we’re going to visit the Belle Meade Plantation Winery and then head off to Tin-Angel for a re-do. We may even head out to Murfreesboro or Franklin depending on what we feel up to. What’s this have to do with parties? Not much unless you’re looking for some pretty good recipes or a fun place to throw a party (Cheekwood would be an ideal wedding location in my books). Hope you all are enjoying your weekend as much as me and the hubby are enjoying ours! I'll be back to wedding planning come Tuesday!
