Scenes From The Weekend, Part 2

(a true exercise in self-restraint: walking into Kate Spade & walking out with only this)

If yesterday's scenes gave any indication, I'm feeling significant contentment after a little weekend get-a-way. Mostly, we spent time outdoors, accompanied by geese, swans and deer. We chose to forgo dinner out in favor of purchasing an assortment of goodies (bread, cheese, soups, fruit, chocolate, etc.) and having an indoor picnic on the floor of our room. Big fans of casual consumption over here, especially when coupled with comfy sweats.

Between gabbing, lounging, eating and movie-watching, sleep didn't happen until nearly 2:00am. Despite "springing forward," we received a decent night's rest and woke up eager for brunch, which we promptly devoured at Dressing Room: Homegrown (a can't-miss stop if you ever find yourself in Westport).

We drove back home with my sister in tow: She's on spring break and staying with us for the week. After a lovely weekend, her presence feels like a particularly special treat!

P.S. This week is nutty and I'm thinking about taking another small internet break for the next couple of days. I want to both enjoy my sister while she's here and devote my undivided attention to necessary priorities. Thanks for understanding.
