There and back, there and back!
Breakfast
Our first adventure lead us downstairs for the complimentary breakfast offered by our hotel.
Let me just say there were sliiiim pickings. 😉
Apple Oatmeal
Thankfully they had some oatmeal on hand (I got the last bowl), so I sliced up an apple, added a bit of honey and made myself apple oats.
I ate the rest of the apple and a small muffin on the side.

Cheesy Muffin
While we sat around after eating, I also nibbled on a small bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios.

First Errand
Our first trip away from the hotel lead me and my sister to a bridal shop about 10 minutes away.
Bridesmaid Dresses
Unfortunately they didn’t have the dress I wanted to see in stock, but my sister was a good sport and tried on a couple of dresses just for fun.
I thought a long, yellow dress looked especially pretty on her. Very How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. 😀
My Model
We didn’t see anything that really called to us and headed home.
I think our visit to that bridal shop reaffirmed my love for the bridesmaid dress I found with my mom and sister back in April. I’m thinkin’ that’ll be the one! 😀
Lunch
We headed back to the hotel room for a quick lunch of ravioli with marinara and Parmesan cheese.
Ravioli
The Buitoni all-natural marinara sauce we used was really tasty! It tasted like homemade pasta sauce and we all practically licked out bowls clean.
For dessert I had a chocolate Jello mousse cup.

These things are seriously rich and taste way more legit than a snack pack.
Errand Number Two
Our second errand took us to a print shop where we attempted to have my save the dates printed off. Apparently they couldn’t print on paper that wasn’t the standard 8 1/2 x 11 size, so we headed to another place.
Unfortunately our luck didn’t get much better. When we saw the proof, there was a big line from the printer cross the middle of the save the date. Needless to say, we high-tailed it outta there!
After stopping at the grocery store to get some items for my mom and some snacks, we returned to the room to enjoy some freshly sliced watermelon.
Slicin' the Melon
Check out all the pretty flowers my mama got! 😀
Don’t flowers just make you want to smile?
Today my sister and I were talking about how happy it makes us when we see a man buying flowers. We know he’s about to make someone’s day a little brighter! We saw quite a few guys buying flowers today and I’m sure there will be some happy moms tomorrow. 🙂
What are your favorite kind of flowers?

Aww- your sister looks cute in that dress 🙂

i was just watching how to lose a guy in 10 days the other day! i forgot how funny that movie was!
i loooove flowers. i started buying my own just cause they would make me smile when i saw them…my favorites are tulips, orchids, ranaculus, and peonies 🙂
That sounds like fun! And your sister looks seriously gorgeous in that dress!!
I like roses and daisies! I”m a traditional girl like that 🙂
You and your sister are so beautiful 🙂 I love tulips and daisies!! Best of luck with the prints…it’s pretty frustrating when not only one, but TWO places let you down!
Enjoy your evening 🙂
I actually LOVE that dress!! I love that movie too :)…that black one is gorgeous too of course…but i don’t know…;)…yummmm to ravioli – sounds like your having fun. Oh and you and your sis are gorgeous!
You two look like you’re having fun. 🙂

SO. I’m sitting here watching “The Holiday” and reading about your fun wedding preparations. Not gonna lie – it’s kind of a hopeless romantic’s dream! 😛
The Holiday is freakin AWESOME!
Orchids! I love them. I think they’re so pretty and different of course.
BTW…your sister looks really pretty I think 😉
Peonies! 🙂
I enjoy seeing guys buying anything for a woman – I got a pedicure today and two men (young guys) came in to buy gift certificates, which I think is super cute. It’s especially fun to see men in Victoria’s Secret – they feel so lost, but I give them a big thumbs up for attempting. The thought counts the most.
Sounds like you’re making some headway with dresses and save the dates!
THat bridesmaids dress is seriously beautiful! I ust watched How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days a few hours ago. It was on TV. Love that movie! I’m glad your mom got released early. Must be a relief to know she is doing so well.
