disclaimer: this was not a typical day for me, but a very fun one! craig, the husband-to-be’s, birthday was last week and our 1 year of engagement anniversary was sunday…so we had reason(s) to celebrate : )
a lovely april saturday
7:21am – up and at ‘em
8:48am – breakfast of yummy overnight oats (recipe {here})
9:33am – hit the road. on our way to meet with our wedding cake baker and sample cakes!
10:54am – arrive at classic cake. enjoy some coffees and settled in to taste some desserts.

11:57am – craig (my fiancé) needed sustenance...in the form of a turkey sandwich. then we hopped back in the car to head over to meet with the florist.
ben franklin bridge. hello philly! |
see the big outdoor tv? |
2:15pm – leave for center city philadelphia.
2:39pm – park car and wander. (walking around the city on a gorgeous day is one of our all-time favorite things to do.) popped by valanni, a potential rehearsal dinner spot, and then walked to the rittenhouse square area for some afternoon spirits at village whiskey.
3:51pm – enter spa and check-in for massage appointments. 60 minutes of some much-needed down time. ahhh…
5:42pm – drive to washington square to meet mom, dad and hannah (my sis) for cocktails at chops.
6:56pm – walk over to the cooperage for dinner to celebrate craig’s bday with my family. the food: pesto & tomato paninis dipped in beer & cheese fondue & fried calamari for appetizers. dinners included fish & chips, 2 burgers, homestyle mac n’ cheese and a crabcake sandwich. good homespun comfort food. dessert? omg. fried oreos with vanilla bean ice cream (i’m a dessert fanatic, and these did not disappoint) and complimentary chocolate mousse (because they were out of the molten cake…) oh yeah, and in case that wasn’t decadent enough, i ordered a s’mores coffee which was amazing.
9:28pm – roll out of the restaurant and set our sights for home. fun (but long) day : )
11:04pm – good night all!
well, thank you for letting me stop by and share a bit about me. i hope you’ll come visit me sometime over at lifestyle maven…and that’s where you’ll find cole today!
