Weekend Snapshots

Happy Friday!
.... just kidding.
That would be pretty fabulous, though.

Our key phrase this weekend was "let's play it by ear."  How great is that?!  Sometimes I just love having plans, but I've found that our most relaxing weekends are those where we just pick what we do based on how we feel and what we want.  Game-time decisions.  They are the best.

Friday I busted out my new sunglasses that I got from C. Wonder (these) ... yes, they are a little frou-frou but I'm pretty sure I can't go to Paris without them.

Ian had to work late on Friday night so I got a little treat ready for him upon his arrival home.  Sidenote: nothing is better than hand-stuffed blue cheese olives.  I filled those bad boys UP.

Saturday for us was a really active day ... yardwork, gym, cleaning.  I picked these pretties from our yard and I loved seeing them in our den all weekend.
 

I also switched out my closet to spring/summer clothes (this idea eludes Ian ... he can fit all of his clothes in one closet.  Me?  I definitely have to rotate it out for the changing seasons).  I have a huge pile of items to purge -- maybe time for a blog sale or Instagram sale?

Saturday evening we headed to one of our favorite areas, Montford, which is essentially a little cut-thru street that has lots of fun bars and restaurants lining it.  We tried out a new Mexican restaurant and they had $4 margaritas for Cinco de Mayo ... yes, please!
 

Sunday was so lazy due to the dreary weather.  We are huge Mexican fans and certainly didn't mind having it two nights in a row, so last night we made cheesy beef enchiladas with refried black beans and sliced avocado.

 

The best part of the weekend was getting more plans together for our Europe vacation.  Mom told me recently that it's sort of like planning a wedding all over again, which is completely true.  I'm researching and booking everything ... trains, planes, automobiles, hotels, tours, you name it.  Ian has been a great help but sometimes it's just easier to handle it solo.  Yesterday during some couch time we found ourselves watching National Lampoon's European Vacation and it got us so excited for the trip in such a silly way ... we are giddy with excitement!
