Brad's Birthday and Weekend Pictures

After surviving sickness last week we enjoyed a low-key Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday was actually Brad's 34th birthday and while he originally told me that all he wanted was 'silence' as his gift we went out and got sushi.

His favorite is the 'Fire Cracker' roll at Ru Sans.

After dinner we came home and some of our neighbors came over and we all celebrated with a few adult beverages.

Again, low-key which was needed after our crazy holiday schedule and then being sick.

Today I woke up and met my friend Kelli for brunch and a trip to the Mint Museum.
They have a new exhibit at the museum and it was free to get in today.

This was my first trip to the new location in Uptown Charlotte.

We decided to brunch at the restaurant that's inside the museum, called Halcyon.

First visit here too.

It's a farm to table concept restaurant and I will be back!
The decor is very rustic.

The food was amazing!

The new exhibit inside the museum is a collection of Romare Bearden's work and it was something to see.

A fun Sunday!

Now, I'm just sitting here relaxing and catching up with my besties in Louisiana on the phone.

Everyone is STOKED about tomorrow's National Championship game where my LSU Tigers will take on Bama!!

I thought about watching it with the LSU Alumni group here in town but it's a work night and I think I've talked myself into staying home instead.

Why can't they schedule the game for a Saturday night??

How was your weekend?
