Our Weekend in Snapshots

I hope you guys had a great weekend! We woke up at a relatively decent hour on Saturday to visit the farmers market. Typically I go on my own because Jason hates being out in the heat, but this time I managed to convince him that we should make it a family outing! We could easily bring Cynewulf because we were going to the market that’s inside of a huge park (the Piedmont Green Market).

I do like this market but I have to be honest…the markets in Atlanta are TINY! I don’t know why! I can’t imagine that there aren’t enough vendors, and I know the demand is there…so I really don’t get it. The ones I’ve been to in other parts of the country are easily double or triple the size, even in small towns! This one is right in the heart of the city and I think I counted 3 produce vendors? Crazy! But the ones that they do have are good so I can’t complain too much. 🙂

There were lots of apple varieties to choose from but I am not. ready. for. fall. And therefore I refuse to buy any apples. But I did cave and buy some apple cider, which was delicious. We also picked up some tomatoes, a baguette, some peppers (Jason’s purchase of course), and MUSCADINES! Easily my favorite fruit.

There were a few food vendors so we got breakfast while we were shopping. I got a croissant and a fruit smoothie and Jas got a breakfast bratwurst and iced coffee.

The walk to our car and back was probably a couple miles and it was TOASTY outside so we were pooped when we got home. After chilling in the AC for a while we headed out again for early dinner and a movie!

We went to a Fork & Screen, which is one of those dine-in movie theaters that are popping up a lot lately. The food was lackluster but the movie was good.

My personal opinion is that it was good but a little too hokey for my taste. I know the rest of the world thinks this is the best Marvel movie so far, but I’d still vote for Iron Man any day of the week! Jason, on the other hand, said it’s his new favorite movie ever (excluding LOTR of course, but that’s implied!).

The baguette I bought at the farmers market made for some delicious french toast the next morning! And yes, I burned that one in the back. Food bloggers are people too.

After breakfast on Sunday we made a Target run from some boring things and then went to a pet boutique for a special new item!

HAHA, I know. You don’t have to tell me. It looks ridiculous. I was laughing for like 10 straight minutes when we put it on him. Either neckties are just a bad idea for dogs or Cynewulf is too small to pull it off. But it’s pretty clear that he’s a bow tie man. So we’ll be returning this one and looking for a new bow tie! At the moment he’s going tie-less, which simply won’t do.

I’ve got a job interview tomorrow so send me good vibes!
