We finally had a little fall weather here in Alabama Saturday night and yesterday. And by fall weather, I just mean not 90 degrees. It was fabulous!

Friday I met up with Laura and Morgan at SoHo Social in Homewood for a delicious meal and a much needed girls lunch. It was great catching up and enjoying the beautiful weather on the shaded patio. Could have done without a yellow jacket that insisted on invading our space throughout our meal. I hate bees!!! The food was incredible, as was the company!

Chris invited a friend over to hang out that evening, so I took advantage of the time and finally watched Beauty and the Beast! Loved it!!!

Saturday we hung around the house and caught up on some shows and played with Zoe. Around 3pm we headed out to meet up with our family in Oneonta to celebrate my dad’s birthday. My sister came up with the idea to take him out to dinner and walk around the car show that was going on in town. I had never actually been to the “downtown” area in Oneonta. Honestly, I didn’t even know it existed. I had been to the city before, but must have been the outskirts. I was pleasantly surprised with how cute the downtown area is and how much there was to do!

My sister and dad were running late, so Chris and I put Zoe in her stroller and took a stroll around some of the shops. We found a cute junk shop where we purchased Duck Tails for our NES, and there was a used video game store and several clothing boutiques that we cant wait to check out next time!

Swamptails was an amazing Cajun Steakhouse, and I know we will be returning!!! We shared onion rings and boudin balls as our appetizers. My sister and I couldn’t decide between the filet or Po Boy cheeseburger, so we ordered both and split. Everything was incredible!!!

We enjoyed the beautiful evening walking around after dinner and looking at all the cars and perusing some other shops. We then stopped by Miller’s Soda Shoppe for an ice cream!!! I shared a few bites of my mint chocolate chip with Zoe. She was a huge fan.

They had a huge screen out in the middle of the road playing the college football games. #bama

I remembered to have my sister take a family picture of the three of us too! I think we have maybe three total?? I really need to get better about that!

Home girl hung in as long as she could….but she eventually passed out in the car on the way home.

Chris and I really loved the area and we are already planning a trip back! Bonus that the drive out that way has incredible mountain views in the fall with all the foliage!!!

Sunday, I cut the side yard while Zoe enjoyed some one on one time with her daddy…then us girls headed to the grocery store and picked up some BBQ for lunch. The rest of the day was spent catching up on more shows, hanging with Zoe, and reading lots of books. I love that Zoe loves books as much as I do.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Linking up with Biana.

I need someone to get me more coffee stat!!! I was up with a certain someone for nearly three hours in the middle of the night last night.  I would have to gate check the baggage under my eyes this morning if I were flying. The good news is that I was still up at 4:05am to get my workout in this morning. That is what Monday is for, right? Getting back on track. No excuses.

We didn’t really do a whole lot this weekend. I started my Friday with a sushi date…with myself…at Whole Foods.

On the drive home, the sun was out and there was no rain to be found anywhere I could see….and yet there was a random rainbow! Great way to kick off the weekend!

Friday night I made turkey burgers and sauteed zucchini using eggs and almond flour to give it a little something something.

Chris had to work Saturday morning from home, so Zoe and I spent a lot of time playing. She didn’t want to nap anywhere but on me….so I watched Young and Hungry while she snored the afternoon away on my chest on the couch. I didn’t hate the cuddles.

Did you catch the Alabama game??? 59-0. Sorry Vandy. Chris was like…..should we be letting Zoe watch something so violent? Had me laughing. Georgia was looking good too!!!

Sunday morning, my sister and nephew came over and we all went to Target together to get the grocery shopping done. I picked up some Mexican for Chris and I for lunch. The rest of the day, Zoe fought naps (she had NONE) and Chris and I watched Taken, some Fuller House and Better Call Saul.

What didn’t happen this weekend?? Anything I needed to get done. With Zoe not wanting to nap, I didn’t get the grass cut or the house cleaned. There is stuff all over our kitchen table that needs to be put away. I managed to do a few loads of laundry, but I just hate knowing nothing else was done. I did finish a book that I read in the early morning hours on Saturday and Sunday. Like an actual physical book. It is rare I can finish one in two days.

How was your weekend? The weather people say that fall is supposed to return this week. Ummmm it is going to be 90 today so I will believe it when I see it. Happy Monday!
