It’s a beautiful weekend to be alive! Ha, but seriously, what a weekend! We kicked the weekend off a little early with a sunset sail on Thursday that was absolutely PERFECT. We have friends in town from California for the weekend so we’ve been showing them around, which translates to eating lots of food. So far, we’ve been to 167 Raw, Xiao Bao Biscuit, Graft, Hominy Grill, Tu, Lewis Barbecue, and The Macintosh.
Woah, how am I still standing!? We’ve also been enjoying the beautiful weekend with lots of wonderful music at High Water Festival. Another highlight of the weekend was getting to preview Julia’s beautiful new dress line that she released on Friday! Her dresses are just as beautiful as she is! I don’t want this weekend to ever end!
