Good morning! How is your week thus far? Mine is going very well, but I’m still behind on a lot of household and blogging stuff. Nick just headed back up to Starkville though, which tends to make me more productive haha. I’ll probably see him again this weekend.
This past weekend was Nick’s birthday – he’s a whopping 27 now! I’m going to be 26 next month. I think it’s safe to say that we’re aging… my oh my. We had a wonderful time celebrating. When he got to town on Saturday morning, we headed out to brunch at Char and it was absolutely delicious! We started off with an appetizer of Fried Green Tomatoes (my fave!) and then we both got different versions of Eggs Benedict.
Their onion strings are wonderful, I dipped mine in comeback sauce that came with our fried green tomatoes. After brunch, we headed out to our next excursion – a tour of the only brewery in Jackson, MS – Lucky Town Brewery. I attended their Grand Opening back in November and it was a lot of fun! They do Saturday tours every single Saturday and for just $10, you get a souvenir glass with 6 half-pours of the beer they have on tap. Back when I attended the grand opening, I missed out on the tour, so I was excited to see how they got started and how they brew beer for local production and sales. They also have a second Saturday of the month event called Sippin’ Saturday which has the same set-up that the Grand Opening did – live music, food trucks, tours, and beer on tap. Sippin’ Saturday is just $15 though and if it’s anything like the grand opening, then it’s going to be a lot of fun!
After the brewery tour, we did some shopping around town while we waited for dinner time. We met up with some friends for dinner at Georgia Blue. It can be pretty pricey, so we don’t eat there very often, but we love meeting up with friends there for a fun evening out. They usually have some live music playing and they have a long list of beers on tap, so it’s fun to try something new. We had another typical photo session – one decent picture and then one where I make a face thanks to Nick doing or saying something ridiculous lol. This particular time may have been the person behind the camera though. Our goofy looking pictures turn out to be some of my favorites though!
You might think that after being in Jamaica for a whole week, I would look a lot more tan, but you’d be very very wrong. After dinner, our friends invited us over to their house for an evening by the fire. I don’t know what it is about a good fire, but ending my day with one makes that day seem a lot better. When you add it to the end of an already excellent day, then it may not get any better than that!
Happy Birthday to my favorite person!
