Weekend Whereabouts & Epcot's Flower & Garden Festival

Hope everyone had a fun and relaxing weekend. Mine was a bit of both which was perfect before my trip today. I'll be unplugged from blogging and the computer for the next week or so but Kate and I's Tuesday Recipe Swap is still scheduled for tomorrow.

On Friday night, K and I went to a new location of Chuy's Tex Mex restaurant in our area which was SO good. Really great food and drinks for an affordable price plus a fun environment. 


On Saturday morning, I went to the hairdresser which took almost 3 hours to get highlights, a cut and style ugh! We then headed to Epcot for the Flower and Garden festival to celebrate a friend's birthday who was visiting from Philly.




Saturday was a sunny and hot day in Florida. We walked around Epcot with a group of friends and had some drinks in China, Africa, Mexico and England. The slushy margarita from Mexico was key to cool down from the heat!




On Sunday, I went to the spa for a mani and pedi and then packed for our vacation. You would think after all these years of traveling, I would have mastered the art of packing a suitcase. There's still no method to my madness and I always end up overpacking by a lot! At least it's easier packing for a tropical destination which requires less bulky clothes and shoes and lots of bikinis. 



On Sunday night, I finished up some blogging and hung out with our wrinkly girl before we leave her with the "sitters" for a week. That's become the toughest part of traveling now but she does love the place that we board her at and they take good care of her.

Weekend Relaxing & Blogger's Brunch

After traveling last weekend, I was in need of a relaxing weekend and that it was...

On Friday after work, K and I went out for some dinner at Red Lobster to use some gift cards from Christmas. Of course dirty martinis ensued but that was the extent of my Friday night.


We slept in on Saturday which was very much needed and then headed out to get some errands done. We stopped at Marshall's for some new home decor and then I spent a few hours with the Geek Squad at Best Buy because genius me spilled wine on my Macbook last week and my laptop immediately died. Stupidest $1000 mistake. Ever! 

I also stocked up on my favorite beer which is now in season ~ Abita Strawberry from New Orleans.




We decorated our master bedroom with the new wall art I picked up from Marshall's.



On Saturday night, we relaxed at home and watched Gone Girl from Redbox and snuggled with Lola.

On Sunday morning, I met up with Kate, Kerri & Pamela at Santiago's Bodega for buffet-style brunch and unlimited mimosas. It was a blast catching up with these pretty ladies and fellow bloggers.


Weekend Fun & a Fairytale Bridal Shower

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Mine was relaxing which was much-needed before the crazy holidays begin. Friday night was date night at Cooper's Hawk Winery which has amazing food and great wine. 


On Saturday, I went to the hairdresser to get my hair done. 

I did some online Christmas shopping on Saturday night (so much for waiting until Cyber Monday) and we watched the movie Tammy, which was hilarious. Melissa McCarthy always cracks me up. It was a nice relaxing night at home.

Sunday:
 I went to a friend's bridal shower which was a fun time with the ladies, laughing and playing bridal games.
 


How was your weekend?
