The One Where They Had Fun…

written by Parita 12 Comments

…bought to you via Parita’s iPhone.

The word fun is pretty subjective.  What’s fun for me may not be fun for you and vice versa.  However, I think most of us can agree that relaxation plus good friends plus delicious food plus beautiful weather equals fun.  Right?  Right.

Luckily, our weekend included a little bit of each of those elements.

First up – relaxation.

Also known as a long overdue pedicure.  And trust me, it was much needed.  I even stepped outside my comfort zone with a color I normally would never choose (Essie, Maximillian Strasse Her).

On Saturday, we met up with a group of friends at the local Oktoberfest event.  Friends + beer = always a good time.  We were able to try a number of different of beers and ciders, and if I remember correctly, my favorite was the Shock Top Pumpkin Wheat.  Delicious!

When our hunger pangs eventually kicked in, we decided to grab dinner at a local burger place.  I ordered the portabella mushroom burger with a side of sweet potato fries.  Yum!

Other notable food from the weekend –

Homemade baked chicken fingers (for Vishnu)…

and chocolate zucchini muffins for me.  I mean for both of us.

And as far as beautiful weather is concerned, the weather in Miami has been amazing over the past few days.  Lots of sun, very little rain, and a slight drop in humidity – makes me very excited for what’s to come!

Oh and one final thing that made this weekend fun…

That says “GAME-WINNING DRIVE”

…Georgia’s win over LSU!!!  Woo hoo!  Gooooo Dawgs!!!

Have a great Monday!

    Ha! I thought of Friends in your title too. Looks like you had a blast, I’m thinking of going to my local Oktoberfest as well. What colors do you usually wear when you do pedis?

      I normally opt for dark purples, reds, or pinks. So this was a very different pick for me!
