Laurapalooza

This weekend my friend, Laura, came home from New York City for some friend time. We had such a great weekend. She got in late Friday night so it took all I had to stay up until 11pm on Friday night to pick her up from the airport. Saturday we had a big day planned a the pool. The weather couldn't have been more perfect. It was nice and hot but there was also a nice breeze, keeping the heat tolerable. We had planned to go to our friend Katie's apartment but instead we went to Icon in the Gulch. Laura's inlaws have purchased a condo here AND they are trying to sell. Anyone interested?!?!? They just opened and there are still several vacant condos so the pool was just right, not many people there at all. The view is awesome (see below) and the condos are very nice.

Saturday night we went to Arrington Vineyards. Arrington Vineyards was founded in 2005 by Kix Brooks and some other guys. Most every Saturday night they have live music and wine tastings. Again, the weather was still perfect. We took some fruit and cheese and tasted several wines. During our wine tasting down in the cellar we realized Kix Brooks was there. So of course, we wanted to chat, get a picture and his autograph. We accomplished all of that and had the best time. We were very surprised to see him, of course, I guess he has to make his visits unannounced.

We finished off the weekend with dinner at Olive Garden with Mark and she traveled to spend Labor Day with her dad. It was so good to see you, we sure do miss you, Laura! Hope to see you again soon!

Monday night Mark had some guy time watching football with baby Jackson that came to visit. :)
