Weekend in Kentucky

So, the fact that it has taken me almost a week to blog about this week is a testament to how much fun was had by all.

Seriously, y'all. I am tired.

We did one heck a trip through Louisville and Lexington, visiting all our favorite people along the way. We did Friday night with Annie and Kyle at The Grape Leaf and Saturday morning at their table being fed all types of yummy locally-farmed goodies. Before we left for Lexington, Elizabeth picked us up and we finally got around to getting Erin a wedding present almost five months later (whatever Emily Post says you get a year! don't judge me!). You can see the photos of that gift below.

We got some quick Fazoli's and then segregated by sex for the ride to Lexington. We allowed an exception for baby Jack Jack, who was a complete doll all weekend. I can't speak for Nicholas and Seth but the girls' car was delightful! Once we got to Lexington, we went by campus and checked out the chapter room and gift shop. Then we went back to Catherine's to get ready for the reunion. I have to say we all looked mighty snazzy, although Elizabeth won best theme for the evening which was "I look hot in my minidress and I've had two kids!" Real winner don't you think?

The reunion was actually a tad uneventful, especially since we missed the major freaking events -- the picture (I don't want to talk about it) and the welcome speech! Luckily, we gathered a fun group for pie and coffee afterwards and had a great time catching up.

The next day we got some breakfast at Magee's Bakery and headed back to Louisville. Erin, Seth, Nicholas, and I met our good friends Tim and Emily for lunch. Time and Emily are also a hoot to be around - the imminent birth of their first child really took the hilarity to a whole new level. I can tell you that much.

Since I decided to cram in as much visitin' and eatin' in one weekend, we had dinner with my high school friend Reagan and her new man and my friend Smith and his girlfriend Linda a mere three hours after having lunch. However, it was worth it because we had a fabulous time.

I can only speak for myself but I was sort of sad to leave Kentucky and all our beloved friends at the end of the weekend.
