How Boring

And by boring, I mean not at all. Recently there has been some jokes around here based on a columnist from Charlotte that coined Raleigh "boring" Let's just say that I had my choice of where to live and we'll leave it with the Oak City topped the Queen City. And I have yet to be bored, especially this past weekend.

This is mainly going to be a large photo dump and if you follow my insta, then you have probably seen most of these, I am a cross poster. Love me or leave me;)

This will be a wrap up of the past 10 days, from Miami to Raleigh.

The first few pics were from our trip to Miami Beach, so beautiful and relaxing and I will have a more thorough post later.

Then, on Thursday, my sis in law and some friends came down from Virginia to see Chase Rice, Jake Owens and Kenny Chesney. What a great show.

and excuse me, but Jake Owen with short hair? Holy geez. Some guys look great with long hair. Jake Owen should keep his short. Just sayin.

Friday the mister and I headed downtown where food trucks were lined up and city plaza was closed off for a free outdoor movie. There was beer, music and lots of games leading up to Ferris Bueller. That movie never gets old.

Saturday we grabbed some brunch and during the day, Glenwood Ave went from a bar scene to a large slip n slide (this awesome picture is courtesy of my friend Kate), and that night we caught another outdoor movie, this time at the art museum. Dark chocolate and wine were on the menu this time.  and the company of one of my besties.

Yesterday we grabbed more brunch at one of our absolute favorite Raleigh stops, Oakwood Cafe. The empanadas. So delicious. And then we just spent the day (mainly trying to dodge the ironman traffic, but major props to everyone who participated!) shopping and eating our way through Raleigh. My chocolate chess pie was ridiculous.

Pretty boring, eh?

How was your weekend?

Basically Food, Wine & Chocolate

ruled my weekend. I know you guys are shocked. Eating and drinking wine...us? Always.
The best part of this weekend was that we had no plans other than being around and following the wind as it blows. And it is also the only weekend we have been home in 4 weeks and we won't be back home till the 3rd weekend of September...I am already tired thinking about it!

Friday night we ate at our new favorite place, Bruno's next door. And once again I devoured the Bourbon & blackened chicken rigatoni. Why mess with a good thing? and then, afterwards, not quite sure what to do with ourselves and our free time...last minute remembered that the Art Museum does outdoor movies in the Summer and headed over to catch that night's flick.

Love this movie! Not only was it filmed on our favorite beach in Jekyll Island, it is based on the first black regiment which was out of Readville, MA, a suburb of Boston and Wiki's aunt lives right where they trained for battle in the Civil War.

Checked out some of the outdoor sculptures on the way back to our car.

On Saturday, I made some fluffatella goodness bars and then headed out for baby shower pow wow planning for some twinises.

My bestie sent me this awesome and super sweet photo book from her wedding. And she wrote the best note in the back that may have left me bawling. happy tears of course.

 Saturday night we headed to one of our favorite areas, Layfette Village and hit up one of our favorite wine & tapas bars: Vinos Finos I love the barrel table with the corks and lights underneath the glass top.

Wiki enjoying his coffee after a delicious meal! and looking all kinds of hot. If I do say so myself.

yesterday we headed to the outlets to pick up some last minute tickets to see the Killers tonight. I cannot even tell you how excited I am to see this show!!! I love them!

On our way home we stopped in the super sweet town of Hillsborough. We had a quick bite and then refuled with coffee and homemade chocolates. They were so beyond tasty!

and then we headed out to downtown for the food truck rodeo. Over 70 vendors and amazing scrumptious eats! If you want to find out more about it and when the next one is,head over to my other blog.

The Thankfull Tummy.
