A Quick Trip to Nashville TN

Last week I headed to DIA to catch my flight to Nashville TN. It was a quick Thursday night to Monday morning trip in honor of Gideon’s Bar Mitzvah. Neither Uncle Marty nor I brought our camera’s this time, but we still managed to document the weekend with various iPhones and my GoPro.

After Gideon’s great Bar Mitzvah service, it was time to party… with 60 thirteen year olds and a wacky DJ, (basically my worst nightmare.) But it was actually pretty fun.

Everybody had a great time out on the dance floor, and it was nice having the whole family together at a time that wasn’t Christmas or Thanksgiving.

…Stay tuned for a video of Theo and the rest of the fam shredding in on the dance floor.

This Weekend from College… Colorado Springs!

I spent this last weekend in Colorado Springs. The weekend was full of great people, great food, and great laughs.

 

I really do mean great food. Claire’s dad made a kickin’ carrot ginger soup for dinner, and a yummy sweet potato, arugula, poached egg breakfast. It was the perfect Veggie fix we were looking for.

Dave spent all day Saturday in the kitchen in order to prepare us an amazing dinner– homemade pasta, freshly baked rosemary bread, a vibrant pesto, and a whole slew of antipasto sides and treats.

We sat by the fire, worked on our knitting, shared stories and laughs, stacked blocks, and completed a little bit of our homework.

We concluded the weekend with a lovely hike through Red Rocks.

A huge Thank You to Claire, Ginny, Dave, and Claire’s parents for being so welcoming and fun! It was the perfect low key weekend getaway.
