Still feel like I am recovering from Sarah and Rachel visiting this past weekend, we packed a lot in and had so much fun!
Friday night when they got in we had a mini wine and cheese party so they could unwind from the long drive.
Then we went to dinner at The Big Ketch along with a couple others. I was thinking they'd like Big Ketch because of their extensive low-cal cocktail offerings :) We actually ended up not eating dinner until like 11pm that night, haha. We're just so young and crazy.
| Sarah said she looked bored and like she wasn't having fun in this pic haha, "I promise I was was!" She said. |
After dinner we went out in Buckhead for a bit -
Then Saturday morning we were up and moving, get ready for the most jammed packed day ever -
Sarah and I went to the Peachtree Road Farmer's Market where we got coffee and walked around.
Then brunched at Buckhead Bread Company -
| Waffle of the day |
After brunch we decided to do a little shopping, shocker. I wanted to take Sarah to an area she'd never been to before so went to walk around the shops at Little 5 Points. She got two pairs of amazing ankle boots and I got some wedges and heels on sale and a silver, long vintage looking necklace.
When we got done with the shops at Little 5 we really didn't feel like shopping any more, well our wallets didn't. I looked at the clock and it was right when SweetWater was open for the day and I had been wanting to take her there, too. So from there on to the brewery!
Confession: We walked up right at 2:30 when the brewery opened and there was the longest line ever. We wouldn't have gotten inside until like 3:30 and they closed at 4:30. So me being the ever gracious and considerate hostess to my out of town guest (who had traveled 7 hours for a day and a half visit) decided that no harm would be done for just us 2 to slip in at the front of the line....Ok I know that's horrible haha but it totally worked and we were inside just moments later enjoying our beers in the shade -
Rachel was seeing the Dark Knight and getting barraged by annoying texts from me telling her how much we missed her, and one that said "If you'd like to pick us up at 4:30 we'd like that!" I ran into some friends who were nice enough to drive us home.
Just a random golden :)
After SW we hung out at my pool, Sarah got in but I couldn't because of my foot. Then we got ready, were picked up by Rachel and Adam and had dinner at Kaleidoscope in Brookhaven.
| Red velvet ice cream cake for dessert, sooo good |
As you can see we definitely indulged this weekend.
After dinner -
Some of the group went out to the Ivy but Sarah and I met up Chrissy/Pony, her mom Linda who was in town and Scott/Kitty at a bar close by. Sarah had met Chrissy once before but she was excited to spend more time with her, and Sarah and Linda both had been anticipating meeting the Kitty since they have heard all the crazy stories. Scott said they probably expected him to be like a wild animal walking in, haha. But everyone was on their best behavior and it ended up being a very fun night. Sarah and I headed home around 1am and were absolutely exhausted from our busy day!
Oh and Rachel ran into this crazy tiger dog later that night -
| Weird and creepy! He was probably so much cuter before :( |
Sunday we kept our healthy streak going by having breakfast at the brunch buffet at Lenox Grill. I highly recommend their brunch buffet, it's just $10 and I think the food is really good, an omelet bar, fruit and pretty much every breakfast item imaginable.
Then I finished out the weekend with book club that night! We ate delish food, talked about The Paris Wife (it was really good I definitely recommend it, I promise I had more comments than that at book club haha) and then watched the Olympics.
This is how I was feeling, so was nice to have a relaxing evening -
| Pepper and Roxie napping |
Goal this week - Detox from all the lard I consumed over the weekend. Stitches come off on Wednesday hoping to be able to run in a few days!
