travel / bristol, ri

This past weekend I took A away for a belated birthday weekend to Bristol, Rhode Island. A knew we were going away, but didn't know the destination until we had picked up the rental car. A friend of mine and her husband have a house there and were kind enough to let us go for the weekend. It was two cozy days of casual meals, a fire in the wood stove, a walk on the boardwalk and a few hours exploring little shops. It was EXACTLY what we needed.

Awesome blueberry pie at Aidan's Pub! Everything we had there was delicious and sitting by the fireplace was awesome. We also ate twice at Beehive Cafe and the food was so good that I didn't stop to take pictures. 

A gorgeous early sunset on Sunday and we headed back to Boston (via Target of course).

How sweet is this fall engagement photo by Gina Brocker Photography? I love that it’s so cozy and loving and fall. I’m working both days this weekend and prepping to have some friends over on Monday. As usual, I’ve made social plans too: BU/BC hockey game tonight to celebrate a special birthday and seeing my cousin who is in town for work!

Happy weekend!

Fall is here in full force! I even wore my new Zara kids sweater for a cozy night in yesterday. I keep reminding myself that it’s the last weekend of official summer and that I need to enjoy it. I’ve built in some relaxing time tomorrow during the day, fun dinner plans tomorrow night, and some catch up time with one of my oldest and best friends on Sunday. I hope you have a lovely weekend too!

PS-I’ve been burning my Autumn candle from Bath and Body Works and L-O-V-E love it! Their 3 wick candles are 2 for $22; normally they’re $20 each! (This isn’t sponsored, I just love the product and the deal!)
