Roadtrip to Madison

A few weeks back I took a little trip over to my closest BFF in Madison (how sad is that?)! D and I try to get together at least twice in a year and so far we have succeeded! Alabama Beth was supposed to join us but family (rightfully) took priority. We sure did miss her all weekend! :(



Vinny and I are thinking that it might be time to add onto the family and I knew I had to go to one of my greatest parental inspirations for advice! As Beth called it, my baby recon trip! Dusty has a plethora of experience from her upbringing, her job and her first year of motherhood -- naturally I took full advantage of that. We had a great weekend hanging out with Kate, munching on delicious food, drinking wine, shopping. Basically, doing what we do best! Dusty even ran 9 miles in the morning while I slept (like I said, doing what we do best)!

We hit up the farmer's market where I was introduced to Stella's Bakery Cheese Bread -- I've been dreaming about it ever since. Seriously -- its worth mail order. I also tried a new veggie, the Kohlrabi -- YUM! And some cheese curds and cherries too!


Later that night Dusty gave Kate her first haircut which was entertaining -- Kate wasn't a huge fan of the process but the results were too cute! She didn't mind her mama blowing on her neck though -- look at that smile!

After Kate's bedtime we had a coffee table picnic full of pita chips, hummus, more cheese bread, kohlrabi, oreos, wine and girl talk -- PERFECTION.


To end the trip we went to breakfast at a local place that was delicious, The Pancake House. Dusty's local friends (whom I felt like I already knew) joined us -- it was so nice to meet them!

Overall it was a great weekend! Dusty is the perfect mix of fun and business. I'm constantly inspired by her in all parts of my life and am very lucky to call her my nearest BFF!
