weekend recap!

after a low-key friday with a few glasses of vino at dilworth neighborhood grille, kelly & i woke up early on saturday morning to run warrior dash! i ran it last year for the first time and blogged all about it here. the course was different than last year - not as much mud/water. we heard someone got bite by a snake in the pond which is why the nixed it this year - yikes! it was a fun race but i think it will probably be my last mud run.

after the run we headed down to my parent's neighborhood pool & met up with court & lynde. we spent the day laying in the sun & drinking beer - it was awesome, minus my terrible sunburn. i'll never learn!

 

{it was really weird drinking at the pool i grew up at!}

once we had enough sun, we went back to our parent's house for a nap before dinner. dad & stepmom treated us to a delicious dinner at 131 main before we went back up to our part of town. there's nothing like a good steak to end a great day!

sunday morning i scooped up my mom and we headed to brunch at soul for nicole's birthday! brunch was delicious and so were the three million mimosas our table drank. soul is one of charlotte's favorite spots & it's always incredibly busy, so i was happy to get another chance to eat there!

i went to meet up with leigh, derrick, and court for a drink at jacks after brunch. after jacks, court & i headed back to meet up with the brunch crew that had now ventured into noda at jack beagle's. talk about a hilarious afternoon! after the old folks decided to hit the hay, us youngins decided to keep the party going back in plaza midwood. sunday funday strikes again - funny how it always starts out with my parents!
