After our Saturday morning aerial arts workshop adventure (if you missed it, you can read – and see! – all the shenanigans in yesterday’s blog post), Shawnda and I dragged our aching jelly bodies to meet Becca at Aladdin’s Natural Eatery for a long, lazy, and tasty lunch of Greek and Mediterranean food. We shared a massive plate of pitas and hummus, and then we ordered two delicious gyro salad plates and a phenomenal pistachio and broccoli with goat cheese cream sauce and basil linguini dish. Everything was excellent. Lazy midday girl lunches are always so perfect! Life’s little luxuries, right? :)
And only a few hours later we all met up again at Shawnda and Chris’ house for a sweet backyard cookout. Chris grilled up awesome hamburgers and hot dogs (first cookout of the year…mmm!), I brought blackberry beer, Becca baked homemade oatmeal chocolate chip sea salt cookies (which we devoured), and we sat outside enjoying the cool spring weather, some music, lots of conversation and laughter, and some sparklers (my very first sparklers ever….and I didn’t die….and it was fun!) with their adorable little boys before they headed off to bed. Once it got a little too chilly to stay outside, we wrapped ourselves in blankets and headed inside for some wine and girl talk. A totally lovely evening!

Thanks for inviting us over for such a wonderful evening (to follow such an epic day!)
