Girls Weekend

Running, Shopping, McAlisters, and spending time with good friends - all things I love! This past Saturday, I had the chance to do all of the above!


It began on Saturday morning with a long run - my longest run since having a baby, at that! My friend Heather and I completed 10 miles! It was so humid, we were soaked from head to toe by the time it was all said and done. We have 12 miles next week, so I'm hoping for cooler weather and less humidity!

After the run, I came home to shower and get ready for a day of shopping out of town! Initially, I was wearing my bright blue compression socks for the drive over. However, as we were just about to leave, the mail lady pulled in my driveway with a special delivery....


My Legend black compression sleeves had arrived! Naturally, I had to change! These were so comfortable and just what my calves needed! Although I didn't wear these to shop and walk around, they made a world of difference with leg stiffness after a long drive in the car!


THIS little turkey spent four hours with us in the mall and he did great!

When we discussed places to eat dinner, McAlister's was the first thing on my mind! Isn't that sad....we were out of town and had a multitude of amazing places to eat but we chose McAlisters because they are no longer open in our town and we've been dying for a glass of their sweet tea for months? Story of my life. Whomp whomp.


This was EVERYTHING I'd been dreaming about!


The patriot with no tomatoes. I did try their Mac & Cheese for the first time and it was delicious!


So we might have been so excited, someone went overboard with ordering all of their favorite items. Eat.All.The.Things!


Needless to say, a to-go box was definitely used!


I might have been in McAlister's heaven.


After a little more shopping, we decided it was time for dessert! There's a place where you can get a scoop of ice cream and a Great American Cookie and a drink in a combo deal!


When you go out of town, the calories don't count, right?! 


The sunset on Saturday evening was gorgeous!


My little sweet pea and I had a great time at church on Sunday, too!


He was SO exhausted from Saturday, he took a FOUR and a half hour nap on Sunday afternoon!


Oh yes, we also tried green beans for the first time this past weekend!


I think it's safe to say, he liked them! 

Do you have a favorite restaurant you go to when you travel out of town?

  3. Looks like. Fun weekend. Congrats on the 10 miles! If a a town has a restaurant that I already like, i'd choose that over something new! We use to have a Great American Cookie here but not anymore. Probably better off anyway..lol

  4. We love Pappadeaux's when we head to Texas. I REALLY miss McAlister's potato salad.
