Two weekends ago, Mike and I went to North Carolina to visit with his family.
When Mike picked me up at work, we couldn't resist starting off the trip with Captain Cookie! He has a storefront one block away from me. I got ginger molasses with pumpkin ice cream and Mike got ginger molasses and funfetti with black cherry ice cream.
Traffic was horrible on 95, but Mike was a champ driving and we made it to Raleigh in time for dinner with Leslie. I was still feeling a little ill with a sore throat (Mike and I had been sick the whole week prior), so I opted for a ginger martini at dinner and spicy Thai soup.
Saturday morning Leslie and I did a Pilates class together that was offered by her apartment building! I didn't realize how much I'd been neglecting my stretching and yoga! It was hard but a great way to start the morning. Plus, mike got to sleep in.
We spent the rest of Saturday and Sunday morning in Burlington with Ween, Daddy Jim, and Jim. Leslie ate lunch with us on Saturday. I should have taken more pictures of Ween's meals, but let's just say there was homemade pumpkin ice cream. No time for pictures:)
On the return trip Sunday, we stopped by Raleigh again for brunch at Tazza kitchen. I was intrigued by "bacon butter".
Huevos rancheros for Leslie and me. Mike got his usual:)
Rupert was SO happy when we finally made it home! He spent some time re-claiming Mike's lap as his spot.
This past weekend, Rupert had to go to the vet on Saturday morning for his rabies shot, and then we had a "Fall party" on Saturday night watching scary movies and making things with apples other people picked.
So there is a video circulating online about how to make these rose apple pastries. Steph was the mastermind, but I can actually say I assembled about half under her supervision. They are the best, and I can't wait to make them again on my own!
Mike has gotten really good at making cast iron skillet pizzas. He even put spinach in this one for me❤️
This week is a big one for Mike. He has a trial that should be finished by the end of it, and then he'll be moving on to his next rotation in "internships" (command services). This is all my understanding of it so I'm sure I'm getting it wrong. What this means is he's working late a lot and we don't know yet if we'll be able to travel to Williamsburg for our Hallowscream vacation at Busch Gardens this upcoming weekend. Hopefully we will!
