Weekend Recap: Part 2

Ok, now I'm up to date with my weekends. Here's an update from this past weekend.

It ended up being a pretty low key weekend. H didn't come home from the work trip til Wednesday night. We ate at home on Thursday night, but other than that we had been eating out for almost a week straight. I love restaurants, but I was just about sick of them. We decided to forgo our normal Friday night out and stayed in. After a home made dinner we watched a movie. We figured out that the last movie that we sat down and watched together (in a theater or at home) was in December. How sad is that?! Even sadder still.....the only movie that we agreed on was "The Rock." Yep..the classic 1996 action movie. Can you tell how behind on movies we are?

Saturday H was going on an all day golf excursion, so I spent the morning at the pool, then a little shopping, followed by a night out with my Mom and two sisters. My little sister is getting ready to head off to college, so we are trying to spend as much time together as possible before she leaves us behind for bigger and better things. Don't worry..I'll make another sappy post before she takes off. :(

For our little girls night out we went to a restaurant called Araka in Clayton. 

The decor was awesome, the martinis were delicious, and the food was good, albeit overpriced. I enjoy nice restaurants and don't mind spending the money for really good food, but when I order a $10 tomato/mozzarella salad I expect a little more than one slice of tomato and one slice of cheese. My shrimp and sweet corn risotto was good though. 

Afterwards we didn't feel like going very far so we just walked over to the Ritz Carlton to have a glass of wine on the lobby where they had a great jazz/blues band. The funniest part of the evening was when my older sister and mom decided to go peak in and see a wedding reception that was taking place. (There were bridesmaids and groomsmen running around everywhere and of course we got curious.) My little sister and I stayed behind. After a few minutes my mom and sister come walking back with two of my mom's friends that were actually guests of the wedding. Yep...they got caught trying to "crash." 

All in all, it was a fun, relaxing weekend. I like being busy, but every once in a while I definitely need a weekend like this to regroup.
