Takeout Sushi + Plate Rearrangement = Fancypants Friday Evening Meal
Our weekend started off perfectly with a little Sushi 101 takeout. We shared three rolls, decided there was absolutely nothing on television that we wanted to watch, and then ended up doing our own thing (i.e. -- I ended up trolling Pinterest with a glass of sauv blanc).
Saturday morning we hit the gym together and then loaded up the car for a little mountain escape. Drake got the entire backseat to himself and he was happy as a clam.
Our first stop was Char -- a favorite lunch spot. We ordered a couple of beers and two of their sandwiches to share together. Oh my word, the sweet potato fries ... they are absolutely out of this world. We struck up a great conversation with an older couple sitting next to us and just had the best lunch.
Their patio is dog-friendly and the cooler mountain air was perfect for Ian, Drake, and me. The breeze was even chilly enough that I had to throw a pashmina around my shoulders!
After lunch, we strolled the downtown Boone area with Drake.
After a trip into one of my favorite spots -- Antiques on Howard -- we made our way up to the house. Of course we had to make a quick stop at our favorite beverage store, Peabody's, before reaching the house. They have the best selection of interesting wines and beer, and the guys that work there are always so much fun to chat with.
Ian recently acquired a new toy which we gave a good run.
At the mountainhouse, we can shoot safely and without fear of disturbing neighbors. At our home in Charlotte, not so much! We like to stay on our neighbors' good sides. ;)
Sunday evening I did a lot of prepwork for the weekend ahead -- my youngest sister's bachelorette getaway in Savannah, GA. Can't wait to share details!
