the newlyweds come to visit

saba and mo came to visit! it was for two short days but we seriously had so much fun that weekend. i made them biryani, we went to top gold (chicken & waffles..inside joke ;) ) and did some shopping at the outlets. :) we realized we freaking love those two and they need to visit like all.the.time. ;)

a trip down memory lane

back in 2013, we kicked off our honeymoon adventure in baltimore then drove up through philly. so this past october, when the husband had to go to baltimore for work, i decided to join him. we were able to revisit some of the same spots from our 2013 adventure. it was so, so much fun :)

wednesday-thursday, october 19th-20th (baltimore inner harbor)

friday, october 21st (philly!)
