One of my Ohio loves, Rachel, came to visit me this last weekend and we had a fabulous time. She brought along her dog Abe (half daschund, half chihuahua) so Lady & Rajah were not happy, but by her last night every single one of us were sleeping in my bed together. Is that cute or weird?
As soon as she walked in the door I presented her with a drink and we immediately started getting ready to head downtown. Our first stop was Busy Bee Cafe for a quick drink then we headed to The Oxford and The Big Easy for the remainder of the night. Much to Rachel’s dismay, both places were filled with college boys. So this meant she couldn’t creep on any mature, handsome, Southern boys.
On Saturday we went to Crabtree Valley Mall for some new outfits. Little did we know that Iron Man 3 auditions were taking place so there was a giant line wrapped around the building. There were seriously hundreds if not a thousand people in line. I’m sure it took hours to get to the actual audition so these people must have been super excited about their elbow possibly showing up on the big screen. (Yes, Brittany, I’m specifically thinking of you right now.)
About to get our dance on at The Architect
We then went home to get dolled up and headed to Dos Taquitos Centro downtown. This restaurant is definitely in my top 3 in Raleigh because of the steak tacos and margaritas. We then headed to The Architect for some dancing. They seriously have the best DJ for dance music.
And now for the most random story from the weekend. So we’re on the elevator in the parking garage on our way home and it stops at our floor. The doors open and a guy is standing there with a fire extinguisher. He then immediately sprays us all down. We all obviously turned and closed our eyes and by the time we opened them, the guy was gone. All of us looked ridiculous covered in white powder, but the guy was gone, so all we could do was go to the car with the lovely taste of salt in our mouths. I regret not taking a picture of how we all looked.
On Sunday I absolutely had to take Rachel to brunch at Coquette Basserie in North Hills. We originally planned on enjoying their bottomless mimosas, but we decided that we needed to rehydrate instead. Since Ohio doesn’t have Cookout, Rachel had this as a “must” on our to-do list. Let’s just pretend that I didn’t order a spicy chicken sandwich, cajun fries, hush puppies and a snickers shake with extra snickers.
My absolute favorite breakfast Eggs Benedict
So, which one of my Ohio loves is going to visit me next?
