wiped out after a long, fun weekend

What a weekend! It was so fun to have my parents in town and also relieved me of some of the wedding planning anxiety. We knocked a few things off that list, ate at two amazing restaurants — Le Colonial and Balena, went on the river architecture tour, and just hung out with each other.

Yesterday was dreary and rainy and I spent the day blogging, watching The Shawshank Redemption and making some homemade soup since cool weather has hit! Rested up, I’m ready to hit this week running. How about you?
