Or should I say our WEEKEND AWAY EXTRAVAGANZA??? Well It was definitely hard to leave. Dae Dae and Aunt Ali came to stay with the kids, And Mimi was there before the boys woke up from nap around 1:30, but I was still bittersweet to leave Luke for the 1st time (for me) and to leave both boys. Don't worry I did leave 4 hand written pages of instructions (that may or may not have been followed).
We did turn around twice before we even left our street, we forgot the IPAD and the coffee. 2 important things. But (as previously commented on by our friends our "pic says it all"), we were excited.
Our 1st stop was a must (and we had a coupon) SMOOTHIE KING.
I don't know if you mothers with young kids ever feel like me. But when we got in the car we had to find things to talk about. I mean Drew works all day and I stay home with my babies, so I don't regularly have TONS of adult conversation. But we soon found our nitch and we remembered us. Drew and Lindsay, not Daddy and Momma.
Even though lots of our convo was about our boys. It was more geared toward our intentionality about rearing them, our growth areas in raising and shaping them. And I will admit I did have a lull and really started missing them right before we arrived (I mean it is hard to turn off that your a Momma).
THEN we pulled up to the square. It was so fun being in the place where all our romance played out in college. We headed to Square books and had coffee as we unwinded from the drive and caught up on the news of Oxford via the Daily Mississippian.
We walked around and took in the afternoon. I really always loved this town. And the feel of this place.
We headed to the condo (Drew's dad was so generous to let us stay the weekend), and He, Jerri, and Bryce surprised me with a present. A mani and pedi appt the following day in town, and a necklace (that I had been wanting). Love them.
We ended up eating a new place that we had never been to before. South Depot Taco Shop. Just what I was in the mood for. SO GOOD, Fresh corn salsa, and build your own burritos. Perfect.
