This past weekend was the first one home for me in 7 (seven!) weeks! I've been traveling for work a lot, and spending time with family in between. It's been amazing, but I was really looking forward to spending some time centered around my home.
The weekend started with my first drink of alcohol in 4 months. It was perfectly paired with girl talk at Le Happy and a delicious crepe. The weather was just right for sitting outside. So heavenly.

Saturday night was a Portland Bloggers social meetup at Pairings PDX. We enjoyed lots of great conversation, yummy wine and a round or two of Cards Against Humanity. I hadn't spent time with these ladies in far too long, and it was so good to catch up!
Bee and I found our perfect pairings. Bee, being The Spicy Bee, found her spicy fix...
And me, being the dork that I am, found my playful side.
Sunday started with the monthly meeting of my "Ladies Who Brunch" book club. We met up at Screen Door and enjoyed an amazing spread of brunch goodness. I've enjoyed this monthly tradition so much, and look forward to exploring a new brunch spot in just a few weeks again.
My brunch meal was roasted potatoes and a biscuit with sausage gravy.
HOLY YUMM!
After brunch I took some new head shots for the ladies. It was the perfect morning to snap a few photos!
Sunday night was a welcomed night in with a good movie and snuggles with Zulu.
Monday was zoo day with the fam! We were worried it was going to rain, but the day turned out to be beautiful! It was sunny with a slight breeze which kept the temperature just right. This was Emerson's first trip to the zoo, and I think she really enjoyed it! I know all the adults of the group had fun!
After the zoo we stopped by Starbucks for a quick coffee before we all headed our different directions home again. Emerson kept us all entertained with her adorableness.
How was you Memorial Weekend? Did you BBQ or do anything else fun?

i have yet to go to screen door, but i am going to have to give into that wait soon!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's so worth it! We got there about 30 mins before it opened. We had to wait the 30 of course, but then we were seated in the first round!
DeleteUm, can we please talk about Emerson's amazing outfit? The embroidered pink bunnies and trees are too much!
ReplyDeleteIt really is the cutest!
DeleteLove your nails! :) And was super jealous of those breakfast snaps & IGs! YUMMMM!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love having my nails done. Somehow it makes me feel like I've got my shizz together, even though I don't. Ha!
DeleteYay to an evening of wine, and also a brunch of Screen door! Even though it was very nice out, somehow I ended up seeing 2 movies so was indoor in the dark
ReplyDeleteOooh, what movies did you see?
DeleteFun weekend! I normally go camping for Memorial Day but I stayed home. Weekends with local adventures are fun too.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to go camping, but didn't have anyone to go with. Hopefully I'll get out in the woods soon!
DeleteSounds like a lovely weekend! Emerson is adorable!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, we kinda like her ;)
DeletePeaceful but productive- I spent the whole day working on pictures for my book. Lighting was perfect in my loft each time the sun ducked behind the clouds.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds awesome! What were you taking pictures of?
