Saturday, a day trip to Salem was in store. I've always wanted to go during the Halloween season and we finally did it. It wasn't quite what I was expecting (more commercial and so much less historic) but it was still a fun day.
A lunch at Salem Beer Works wasn't such a bad addition to the afternoon, either.
Rachel came home this weekend! We didn't see much of her, because she came home for bridesmaid duties for a friend's wedding, but Sunday afternoon we had a little birthday party for her, complete with a castle cake (at her request). I kind of ran with it and made the whole party pink-and-red themed.
I really don't think there's anything I love more than making reusable party decorations--pink flags!
Gallavanting through the woods (or "country," as Rachel the city-girl now calls it) was another fun part of our weekend.
And pumpkins. I think they're the only thing I like about the color orange. I love pumpkins. Halloween, here we come!
I was lucky enough to get today off (although I really feel hypocritical seeing as how I feel this is hardly a day to be celebrated) but I think that's going to make going to work tomorrow that much harder. Spending the day with Rachel before she flew off once again was well worth it, though!
Tell me: how was your weekend?
You take great pics! You should get a fancy camera! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny--I was just telling SOMEONE that I wanted one for Christmas....
