Weekend Recap

The weekends go by way to quick, especially when a total of 8 hours of them (4 hours each way) are usually spent driving to or from Asheville!  This past weekend was my turn to make the drive so we spent a fun weekend in Asheville.  Saturday after lunch we just went to the lake to meet Townsend's parents then headed out to the Golfcourse.  Of course I got a blister after just hitting balls on the driving range so I decided I would just be the cart driver for the day and bother drive Townsend while he played 9 holes. 

 

 We went out to dinner at Wicked Weed Saturday night, it's one of our favorite spots!  We had some friends in town so it's a fun spot to grab some dinner and for the beer drinkers, get some in-house brewed IPAs. 

 

 I always love having people in town so I can drag Townsend to go out with me! 

While we were at dinner we ran in to some of my girlfriends who were in town to celebrate a birthday!  So after we finished dinner we met up with them at Wine Bar.  It was a great weekend, but way too short!

New Orleans

Last weekend Townsend and I traveled down to New Orleans for one of the most fun weddings, ever!  We got there around lunch on Thursday and went hard every day, all day, and did not stop until we sat down for the plane ride back to Charlotte!  I had a wonderful time and Elise looked absolutely stunning!!!  I was so happy to be there to help celebrate her and Scott's big day/weekend!

 My first shrimp Po'boy of the weekend at Redfish Grill.  There were many more to follow!!!

 Bourbon Street in all of it's madness...Bourbon Street +1, Christine's Liver -1

 All sorts of interesting sights to see on Bourbon Street

 

Our first stop in New Orleans after lunch was Razzoos to meet up with the Bride and Groom and their families to kick off the weekend!

 The loving couple

Friday after another delicious seafood lunch we meet up with some of our friends Tim and Betsy for afternoon drinks.  After a couple hours on Bourbon street we went back to the hotel to shower and get ready for the night.

 After the rehearsal everyone met up at Pat O'Briens and had a blast singing along with the dueling pianos! 

 The beautiful bride after her rehearsal, she honestly was just absolute gorgeous the entire weekend!

Saturday Townsend and I walked all around the art district with Betsy and Tim checking out all the Touristy spots.  This was one of my favorite days!  We hit up Lafitte's Blacksmith shop (the oldest bar in New Orleans) as our first stop for a hurricane and voodoo drinks to help get us a kick start on our day!  

 Townsend is such a good sport and will take pictures with me in front of random city landmarks!  I am very thankful for my sweet and VERY patient boyfriend!

 

 New Orleans has some of the most beautiful architecture in the country!  This is in Jackson Square, which is an art lovers paradise! 

 Absolutely Flawless

 One of the most stunning brides I have EVER seen!  She was born to be a bride and I'm so happy we were able to be there with them to celebrate!
