Birthday/Last Hurrah at the beach!

This past weekend two of my best friends (Lauren and Sonal) made our way to Jacksonville Beach to celebrate my birthday and party one last time before my move cross-country. The idea for this crazy weekend started with a couple drinks at Houilhan's and as you can imagine it escalated from there. We even decided matching tees were necessary for the drive down there. I'm sure people thought we were crazy!

Sonal's brother Rishi and his beautiful wife, Bejal were our gracious hosts. They recently moved down there so Rishi could attend law school. As you can imagine he didn't get a lot of his reading done that weekend. :)

Below are some pictures of our crazy night out on Friday at Dale Earnhardt Jr's bar called Whisky River (yes there isn't supposed to be an "e" interesting, right?) Well even though it wasn't grammatically correct we loved it. One because we can have a good time just about anywhere and two because the music was good and the drinks were cheap!

On Saturday we went the the beach and hung out at the pool.

On Saturday night we went to this fabulous restaurant called Aqua Grill in Ponte Vedre for my birthday dinner! Everything we ate was sooooo good! I gained five pounds that night! As soon as we walked in the door the manager sent over some shots for us, we should have known the night was going to be awesome!

Sadly our weekend came to an end, but not before we drove 30 minutes in the opposite direction to go outlet shopping!

Just so everyone knows....the drive to Jacksonville is a solid 6 hours..allegedly! That's for you Turtle! Ha!

Birthday

We have less than 24 hours before we hit the road. I have cleaned, packed, cleaned and than packed some more. I'm so over this packing thing. I can't wait until we are settled in our place at the beach.

I recently celebrated my 26th birthday. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I am not happy about being so close to 30, but I will be strong.

Scott took me to Wisteria for my birthday dinner. Scott thought it would be funny to trick me into thinking we were going to Fellini's. Once we turned on the street I knew what was up but was still craving pizza alas I had to sacrifice for for fine dining. Wisteria is the place he took me for our first date and Valentine's Day so its kind of our place now.

Of course I couldn't leave Atlanta without eating at Houston's one more time so the family went there for my birthday.  I won't be going too long without Houston's as there is one in Manhattan Beach! Let's be serious I would never move to a city without that place.

I will try to report from the road and will definitely take LOTS of pictures to post! Until next time!

Big Move Out West

Hello all! I have never blogged before but with the big move to LA I wanted to keep everyone in the loop on our life on the West Coast. Scott and I hit the big open road on August 30th at the crack of dawn for our 4 day trek to LA. We will be making stops in Dallas, Carlsbad, NM to visit the Dorman's and Phoenix. It will be a very interesting trip and one that I am looking forward to.

A big shout out to Kate Saussy for helping me come up with the name for this blog.

I'm looking forward to sharing our adventure!
