St. Augustine!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  I have spent the last 2 days in beautiful St. Augustine, FL celebrating the marriage of my good friend Kaley and her wonderful (now) husband, Peter.  The weekend was so much fun and the weather was just perfect.  I flew out Friday afternoon and arrived in The Sunshine State just in time to grab a delicious dinner with my co-worker Megan, who I roomed with while I was down there.  We walked around the town and stumbled upon The Tasting Room which had live jazz music and delicious seafood.  It was a wonderful choice!

On Saturday we got up early and strolled around town to enjoy all of the beautiful Spanish architecture and checked out some of the cute shops and bakeries.



The wedding ceremony was at 2:00 and was held at the beautiful Catholic church, Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine




Following the ceremony, they had drinks and appetizers in the court yard outside of the church.  It was nice to mix and mingle and enjoy the wonderful weather before heading to the reception at 6:00 that evening.



The reception was held at the beautiful venue, The White Room, that overlooked St. Augustine harbor.  Kaley looked so beautiful and SO HAPPY :)

I loved the chinese landerns and table decor...

The First Dance (they danced to At Last by Etta James!)



They had fun hats for everyone to where while dancing...

On Sunday, we got up early and walked around town a little more before meeting Kaley and the bridal party for brunch.



It was such a fun weekend!

Weekend Winery Extravaganza

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! My office was closed today for Presidents' Day so it was nice to sleep in, knock out some errands and just relax before the week starts. Joe came into town this weekend but unfortunately he was extremely sick with flu...apparently it is going around so I'm crossing my fingers I don't get it! We had planned to head to the North Georgia wineries in Dahlonega on Saturday and still decided to make the trip since the weather was so nice. Unfortunately Joe could not enjoy it as much as me so we will have to make another trip when everyone is well...we would love to get a group to go next time!

Before I give you guys the winery run down I had to share what Joe surprised me with for Valentine's Day...Hunter Boots!!!  I had mentioned I wanted a pair a few months ago and he remembered and got them :)  I was not expecting anything big so it was a nice little surprise! 
                  

On Saturday morning we got on the road and headed up to North GA to hit up 3 amazing wineries...Three Sisters Vineyards, Frogtown Cellars and Wolf Mountain Vineyards (my FAV!). We ended the evening with a wonderful dinner at The Corkscrew Cafe in downtown Dahlonega which was DELICIOUS!
