Our Friday night was pretty low key. We made dinner together, Adam packed for Vegas, I cleaned a bit, and Chester moped.

On Saturday, I dropped Adam off at the airport at noon. It was a gorgeous day, so Chester and I enjoyed a nice walk. My mom and sister arrived around 2:30 for our Girls (+Chester) Weekend. Chester was really excited to see them. He was less excited when we left soon after for our 3:25 movie -
Titanic in 3D. It was really good, but it's so sad and intense. I love that movie, but it makes me feel rather old. I remember going to see it a few times while it was in the theaters - FIFTEEN years ago!
That night, we ordered pizza from Savoy's and enjoyed it while watching a movie together -
Twilight: Breaking Dawn: Part 1. It was laughably bad, yet entertaining. That book was completely ridiculous though, so I don't know why I was surprised. And Chester hated all the wolves. Like really hated.
We all slept in on Sunday morning, and then went to brunch at Meritage at 10:15. Oh how I love Meritage. Mom and Stine enjoyed it as well. Mom and I both had drinks - Bloody Mary for her and the Meritage Mimosa with blood orange for me.

They both had the French Onion Soup with small salad, while I had the Ricotta Cheese Blintzes with Cinnamon-apple compote & crème fraîche. They were really good, but they were very sweet and dessert like so I'm glad we also split an order of Pomme Frites.

Of course we also had to get dessert! I shared creme brulee with mom, and Christine had a dessert that was like 3 cream puffs filled with ice cream and hot fudge drizzled on top. I think they were called profiteroles. Mom also got an orange blossom macaron which she shared with us. I love macarons. I need to learn how to make them!

What a fun brunch we had together!
Next up was a trip to Gerten's Nursery to look around and get some plants. I got a lot of ideas for plants I want when we get the side of our house cleaned up more. There are so many options besides weeds!
My mom and sister left around 2. I'm so appreciative that they came up to visit and keep us company while Adam was out of town. It made it less lonely.
Chester and I had a nice afternoon together full of snuggling, playing and a few walks. It was really nice out until it stormed and got cold around 7:30. There were a lot of Titanic specials on because of the 100 year anniversary, so I watched a lot of them. I've always been fascinated by the Titanic, since I was pretty young - years before the movie came out.
I talked to Adam yesterday, and it sounds like they're having fun in Vegas for David's bachelor party. I remain jealous that I was not invited with. He sent a few photos as well -
