Picnic at the Park

The weather actually cooperated with us this weekend and we were able to have a little picnic on Saturday like I had planned. We packed a lunch, rented a couple bikes and headed down to Freedom park where we settled in next to this pond. It was beautiful, albeit a little warm, and there were hardly any people around. We loved just being able to sit and relax outside.

1. Friday night, B and I stayed in and made another pizza. This weekend it was BBQ chicken inspired by Amie. :)

2. We have been taking advantage of the nice evening weather and taking walks around town. 

3. Saturday morning I made a trip to the grocery store for some food for our picnic and found the most amazing coffee creamer: Somoa Girl Scout Cookie flavor (caramel and coconut). Sunday I went back and got the Thin Mint flavor.

4. Charlotte, like some other big cities, has bikes to rent that you can just pick up and drop off at any designated bike rack around town. We are lucky enough to have one right by our apartment so we picked up some bikes and rode to the park. 

5. B found us a picnic table right by the pond where we had a great view (above) where we enjoyed our paninis, carrots, and dessert.

6. The real reason I dragged B out to the park was get some wedding stuff done. We came up with a pretty good to-do list and timeline to get everything done.

7. I ran to the mall to check out some sales, and I found a beautiful green silk skirt at Ann Taylor for $19 when it was $118. Pretty stoked about that purchase. 

8. Sunday after church B and I grabbed a healthy brunch: egg white and veggie omelet with fruit and toast.

9. Sunday marked our official "2 months til the wedding" panic excitement!


How was your weekend?
