Weekend Recap (5/3-5/5)

Sometimes weekends pass me by and I’m grateful for how relaxing they were.  Other weekend – like this past one, reminds me that I’m grateful for amazing weather and a busy schedule. 

Friday

Friday night, Bryan and I hung out with Leslee from Her Happy Balance and her boyfriend.  The night consisted of playing Clue; eating lots of grapes, pretzels and cucumbers; listening to country music and eventually falling asleep for a little bit on the couch.  Yep, I can’t party too hard these days without dozing off. 

Saturday 

On Saturday morning, Bryan surprised me by taking me out to breakfast.  He found a random restaurant on Yelp called Alfredo’s and wanted to check it out.  Breakfast is probably our favorite meal of the day so we’re always looking for new places to try.  Alfredo’s is really a hidden gem.  It’s actually a pizza place, but they are known for their breakfast all-day. 

I ordered three scrambled eggs, home fries, and toast with orange marmalade (my favorite).  I was very pleasantly surprised!  The outside of the restaurant looks like any other pizza place, but inside it was pretty quaint.

After breakfast, we stopped at a local coffee shop and then went to the Norristown Art Festival.  There were a lot of people there, probably around a few hundred.  There was also a Montco Idol competition.  All three contestants were very talented!  Can’t wait to check back and see who wins this Friday. 

Once we were done walking around the festival, we came home and relaxed!  We even took a nap!  It was so amazing to just come home and sleep for a few hours.  Once we woke up, it was right around dinner time.  After dinner I made an amazing fruit salad with honey!

(kiwi, pear, banana & honey)

Sunday

On Sunday, we did SO many things.  Many more things than normal Sundays, that’s for sure. 

First we went to IKEA and finally bought office desks.  Oh, and a watering can and a fake plant for our bathroom.

After that we stopped home, unloaded the furniture and then headed right back out the door to the Chestnut Hill Home & Garden Festival.  I read about the festival online last week and knew it would be a good time and it was!  The weather was absolutely perfect and there was definitely a lot to look at.  I’d say there were probably over 350 vendors there.  If you’re from the Philadelphia area, the festival took place on Germantown Avenue and was probably at least a mile and a half long!  We walked around and Bryan bought a sandwich that had basically everything you can imagine on it, and I got us beer and a margarita.  I had to have a margarita – it WAS cinco de mayo of course. 

After the festival, we had a lot more errands to run.  We stopped at CVS for my prescription, then over to Target to look at air purifiers.  We ended up buying the air purifier from Target only to get home and have it break.  So… we went back out again.  This time to Target to return the old one, to Lowes,  to Home Depot and then back to Target.  We ended up getting a really nice one on sale at Target.  It was a long day.

Just hanging out at Home Depot
