Back In Baltimore

Colin and I were lucky enough to fly back to Baltimore last weekend for a friend's wedding.  We have been looking forward to this wedding weekend since the proposal and it did not disappoint.  I really took no pictures at the wedding - guess we were having too much fun!  Here is a quick snapshot of the reception venue - it got even more gorgeous once the sun set.

The groom is a guy Colin used to work with in Baltimore.  At the rehearsal dinner we discovered that Chip, the groom, and one of my besties, Catherine have several mutual friends.  Birmingham-to Tampa-to Baltimore and Boston and back.  Small World.

The bride and groom are fairly hilarious individuals so I was sure the wedding would involve some humor.  The maid of honor speeches were so sweet and funny.  A top 10 list of emails the bride sent to her best friend about the groom.  Crying-Laughing.

When we weren't attending the wedding festivities, we were busy scooting around Baltimore to see as many friends as possible.  We had happy hour with Jani and Greg on Friday and drinks with Neal and Gina after dinner.  Another random photo Neal at the Stalking Horse

Saturday Mary "scooped me" (her words not mine) and we went to brunch and Duesenberg's Cafe.  The food there is sooooo delicious.  And I never went there before we moved away.  Unbelievable!  The food may be superb but the customers . . . well, there were some characters that morning.  No pictures.


Then I met up with Caitlin and we left (sans kiddos) to go drop of some dry cleaning and consignment clothes and ended up on a bus.

On a recommendation from a friend, Caitlin and I headed up to Hampden to find this Clothes Bus called the Go-Go Retread Threads (I think).  It was really amazing (although the legality of it may be at issue) - but since I'm "retired".  It was so fun!

Not just Clothes, but Accessories

and Shoes

I bought a really cute (to me) gray bag and Caitlin purchased one of everything (well, almost)

We finished up our shopping trip at Studio C.  Fitting for us C girls.  They have handmade vintage tin  jewelry and we loved it all.

Sunday, after sleeping in (a little) we met up with Colin's mom and step-dad for brunch at our favorite, Eggspectations.  Kevin, Leslie, Daniel and Joshua were sweet enough to drive up and see us too!

We didn't get to see everyone this trip.  Next time.  See you in June!
