Happy, happy Friday! I am heading to Quebec City, Canada tomorrow with my sisters and could not be more excited. I’ve spent most nights after work this week researching places to eat and drink and things we can explore. I always get more excited about trips when I have time to research ahead of time because it gives me multiple things to look forward to! I can’t wait to share our trip here. I have been to QC once before, but it’s been 15 years, and I am so excited to get back.

Last weekend, I was at my cousin’s wedding in Atlanta, and we had the absolute best time. We flew down on Saturday and got into town in time for the rehearsal dinner. After, my whole family enjoyed a few nightcaps around the fire pit at our hotel. The next day, we grabbed lunch at Landshark at Lake Lanier, and it was truly such a paradise—it was right on the water! I would have never guessed we were outside of Atlanta. The wedding itself was Sunday night and was absolutely stunning, plus they had the best band of any wedding I’ve ever been to. We flew home Monday and I was so bummed it was over! But, as always, nice to sleep in my own bed. Not complaining about the four nights of hotel beds in my immediate future, either, though!

I hope you have a great weekend! x
