Scenes from the weekend (on a Tuesday).

I love weekends that feel long and stretched out, don't you? After a packed week, I left Sarasota behind for the third weekend in a row and headed north to spend some much-needed quality time with ACS. Even though it was only a 24-hour visit, we filled it with long walks, antique-store browsing, great food and lots of laughter. Add to that a fun dinner from the Orlando Food Truck Bazaar with my parents on Sunday night and you have what I'd consider a pretty perfect few days. Here's a look at them in photos.

We walked down pretty side streets swooned over the flowers in bloom everywhere...

...daydreamed about living in this house...

...declared pink and mint the color palette o' the weekend...

...sat in a community garden, basking in the golden late-afternoon light (my favorite time of day)...

...had an amazing dinner at this adorable restaurant...

...decided we're staying in a B&B next time because, hello, how cute...

...made friends with a kitty (when does this not happen with me?)...

...came across a trio of butterflies that let us get very close (you know how I feel about butterflies)...

...and ended the weekend with lobster rolls, Korean barbecue, shrimp and grits and cupcakes.

I hope your weekend was equally as lovely, and that your weeks have started out on a high note. xoxo
