Weekend Recap [New Hampshire]

Last weekend Josiah & I flew to New Hampshire to visit some of my family. It was a short trip (Friday-Sunday) and I had some worries about weather delays but we made it and had a great time! I only wish it had been longer! It was much colder than it is here in Texas and so I don’t know if we were prepared for that!

On Saturday we had lunch at Portsmouth Gas Light. It was absolutely delicious! I had chicken pot pie. This started my weekend of lots of eating! Wait, I lied. I had Dunkin Donuts for breakfast! And I may have also drank plenty of Moxie while I was there. It has always been a drink my grandfather has drank and I just couldn’t help myself!

We then walked around downtown Portsmouth. It is so crazy to think how old some of these buildings are when in Tennessee and Texas they are a lot newer! Some of these ones go back to the 1600s!

We drove along the coast and even though it was absolutely freezing it was so incredibly beautiful. And I love the smell of the seacoast!

I was so happy that we were able to spend time with family. My grandparents are absolutely wonderful and I pray they can make it to the wedding!

I also got to spend time with my cousins and I cannot wait to see them in a few months! For dinner we had chicken tenders which are famous from The Backroom. They were delicious. I may of had another can of Moxie and we had homemade angel cake for dessert.

On Sunday morning we had more eating at Chez Vachon. Oh my goodness was that apple crepe absolutely amazing! Apparently this restaurant is a big stop on presidential tours before elections and I see why! You have to go at a certain time and we got there right in time as just a little bit after us there was a line out the door. And with the cold, that must not have been fun!

Then we had a four hour layover in Baltimore, MD and we did something I have never done. We left the airport and went to the Pier! We took a taxi from the airport and on the way back we took an Uber. Really because we have never taken an Uber and thought it would be fun. We still made it back to the airport in plenty of time to get through security and then for our four hour flight! ugh!

We made it back to Texas after a whirlwind weekend to 75 degrees and sunshine. Now I feel like I need to eat really well this week to make up for this weekend!

Weekend Recap [Just a little late]

A little more picture heavy than I normally do. Sorry about that! But I had a great weekend with my mom & sister in town. They flew in so I could find a dress!

Texas has beautiful sunrises and sunsets. And this was as I drove to get them at the airport.

We got lunch at Ms. P’s in Austin. Sadly, we missed Jimmy Kimmel by not even a minute. He was getting in his suv as we were getting out of ours. Not cool. I tweeted him to come back, but he didn’t. Sad!

The chicken was amazing though. The Truffle Mac & Cheese was missing some bread crumbs, so that was sad but the chicken and the cole slaw… delicious!

I found a dress! I went found one at the third store we went to. The best part was it was a sample and so I have it and don’t have to pay rush fees to get it in time for the wedding. There is quite a bit of altering that has to take place, but I cannot wait to see it when it is all done!

I found this new dress this weekend too. I had to go ahead and wear it. I was also to wear my jean jacket that my dad gave me for Christmas and I have no idea why I am so in love with jean jackets.

We barely took ANY photos this weekend! I don’t know why that happens but we took a selfie when I dropped them off at the airport. I was so thankful they came to help me find a dress!

Weekend Recap [a little late]

This weekend we went to Austin and Saturday. Austin is such a beautiful city. I absolutely love how everyone spends so much time outdoors. There are so many beautiful trails and things to do.

The day was absolutely beautiful. We parked and walked for a while and met up with Josiah’s brother, his girlfriend and their old youth pastor and his wife. They live in Austin and had stayed at their house Friday night.

I may be partial but I think we take pretty good photos. Then that night we went to the Festival of Lights. It isn’t huge but it is a nice holiday display.

Trying to get photos to come out at the Festival of Lights is pretty difficult! Excuse the random lights in his face.

And of course you have to take your photo in this one! Who could pass this up?

Then my pano of church. I love watching him sing. Everyone else does pretty well too! We have some Christmas carols in the mix now and next week all of the Christmas decorations will be up. If only the Christmas season could go just a little bit slower!

There is my weekend recap. It is a little late but better late than never, right? Our weekends are always jam packed but I wouldn’t have it any other way! I am not sure what we will be doing this weekend but I know the one after that includes a plane flight to Tennessee for Christmas! Cannot believe it is almost Christmas! I hope you are having a fabulous December so far and enjoying the season!
