..:traveling:..

Well, with this being the start of the last week of summer, I am sad to say our trips away are coming to an end. We went out with a bang and had such an awesome 3 day getaway!

Last week, Michigan was fun. We were excited to get out of the house without the hubs having to lug around his studying materials. It was relaxing and we spent time with hubs sister which is always a plus. However, this week, our trip was even better!

This week we went up to Chautauqua and spent two wonderful nights at an ADORABLE b&b called Lakeside Bed and Breakfast. Seriously, go there. So cute, great breakfast, wonderful staff. We loved it all! I mean, look at this picture!
It is that beautiful, I promise.
And our room?! TO DIE FOR!!!

Our first day, we explored the cutest towns and decided to head down to the Chautauqa Institution. Now, the institution was BEAUTIFUL perhaps not our crowd of people, but still, so worth going into! It looks like something out of a movie set. We had a great lunch, people watched, the whole 9 yards. After our afternoon there, we headed back to our b&b for some wine and cheese... for real, this place=amazing.                                                          
We met the cutest couples, learned a lot about life and had some very deep conversations that I absolutely loved. Trips like this just make my heart so happy!


Friday, we woke up, checked out and headed down to Pittsburg to see our friends Drew and Greg. They threw a bomb-ass thai party IN THEIR LIVING ROOM! If you follow me on instagram, I apologize as you have already heard and seen all about this event. But for real, we have some talented friends. The food was so, so, so good and gluten free, too! They had literally transformed their home to resemble a traditional style of thai food, pillows and all!
We also went to the Churchworks Brewery, explored the downtown riverwalk area, went to an AWESOME cider house and had a great time seeing where they are at.
We were so excited to get home, however because... IT IS ALL OURS!! We move in this weekend and couldn't be happier about it :)!!! Here she is, in all her glory! SO excited to move in!!!!!
With all that being said, it is back to work for me! It has been a great summer but time to get my classroom all set and gear up for a new group of kinder babes to come on through!
