Birthday Fun!

This year for my birthday we decided to do a quick little trip to SA. At first we were going with some friends, but then we had to reschedule.....so it was just the hubby and I.

We have been so good and budgeting this year. One of our goals! To not just spend, spend spend. We are budgeting and so far its working pretty good! So this trip was for my birthday - so shopping of course!!

Some friends of ours were already up there and wanted to meet us for dinner. I left work early Friday, got Bridger all packed up and dropped off to his Memaw and we headed out. We were planning on staying all weekend, so friday night we decided to just get a hotel close by to where our friends were staying. We booked it and I freshened up really quick and we met them at their hotel. We decided to go eat at Fogo de Chao - had heard some great things about it, but never been.
It was amazing!! Too much food for me to eat - but so delish. We started with the salad bar and when we were ready we had these little cards that you turn over from red to green. Green means the meat will start pouring onto your plate. The guys come out with it on sticks (Swords) whatever they are called and slice you a piece. There are so many different kinds I couldn't even keep up. I didn't taste them all and I definitely couldn't remember what they were all called. Once you turned your card back over to red, they stopped coming. It was really nice. They even brought me a happy birthday slice of cheesecake. Definitely worth trying and a fun experience!

Afterwards we went to the local Saloon! It was a huge country bar that was packed but it was so big, it was awesome! Live band that was really good and just a good time. We stayed out entirely too late. The next morning we were off to a really late start. Ryan wasn't feeling to hot and I just felt blah. We left the hotel and were on the road by 11.

We shopped at the outlets till about 4:30. A good solid 4 hour shopping trip is always good! We had so much fun shopping together. But we always do. Ryan can be the best shopping partner! We spent entirely way too much money, but it was so fun. We ended up getting Katelynn her birthday gift since her birthday is this friday. And because of what it was, it was a extremely late graduation gift/birthday gift. After that purchase and mine matching - we were exhausted, realize we spent so much money and decided to drive home. We could have stayed but we were both tired and would've gotton up in the morning and headed home anyway.

On the way in we decided to stop and eat one last meal before we got our crazy toddler back. We called Katelynn and asked if she wanted to join us. We stopped at Takenewia - one of our favorites!
She was SO excited when we gave her, her gift. =)

We got done with dinner, picked up B and headed home. We had a great little getaway together and really enjoyed ourselves. We always miss Bridger, but we really enjoy the alone time as well.
