This past weekend Christopher and I were busy visiting family and friends. Christopher's sister, Kim, and her family came into town due to a death of a close friend. Although the circumstances were sad, we were happy to see all of them. Friday night we went to the wake to support the family, then after we went out to dinner and drinks with our parents and a bunch of friends. It was a great time.
One of my favorite things to do in the summer on a Saturday morning? Go for a long walk. I ended up doing a 5 mile walk just before the sun started to get a little too hot. I fit in grocery shopping (love the Lexington Co-op) and some cleaning. Then my aunt came over to drop off a bunch of plants she is trying to give away before she sells her home. She generously gave us many plants to fill in our garden. But because it was so warm out, we had to work quickly to get them in the ground. Unfortunately Christopher got call away to his parents house and I ended up doing all of the planting and digging. Needless to say, I was a sore woman the following day.
At night we drove out to see our friends Dave and Abby and go out to dinner. We went to two places first before finding a restaurant that was open! It was definitely an adventure. The place we ended up going to was horrible though (well...the boys meals not Abby and I's salads). We will probably never go back. But our time with friends was perfect and all we really need - nothing some wine could not fix.
Sunday we met Kim's family out for breakfast and had a lovely time visiting. We are so blessed to have such wonderful family. I hope that we can go down to visit them sometime over the summer.
The rest of the day we spent outside doing some yard work, playing lawn games and just having fun in the sun. It was a very relaxing day. Then at night we decided to grill homemade pizza. I love grilled pizza and the little bit of charring on the crust - mmm so good!
