This past weekend Zan and I drove out to the Cape with some close friends to enjoy a few days away of fun and relaxation. Our time there was pretty simple– home cooked meals, beer + wine, and a fireplace {my HEAVEN}. We ate clam chowder and loaded nachos for lunch, and made time for a shopping run to a favorite local gift shop {if you’re ever near Orleans you must come here}. There was music in the kitchen and football on the TV, and chili out of mugs, and cornbread from a box. Late at night there were rounds of Balderdash and in the morning there were cups and cups {and cups} of coffee with bagels and eggs and bacon. All with the most perfect view of Little Pleasant Bay.
The thing about these kinds of weekends is that they don’t happen nearly enough. It’s nice to be around home and yes, of course, it’s fun to travel— but traveling with friends to a weekend away spent lounging around in leggings and sweatshirts and cozy scarves? Well, these are the kind of weekends we need more of in our lives.
It was so low key, I loved every minute of it— and already wishing and wondering— when can we go back?! ♥
This looks like just the kind of weekend I’m in need of myself! It looks absolutely wonderful!
Perfect recap to such a lovely friends weekend!! Great pictures!!
This weekend looks beyond perfect. I mean, anything with Pumpkinhead is great anyway. But this. This is great.

Really love that photo of you and z-instagram-man.
This sounds like such a lovely weekend: the relaxation of lounging around home without all the chores and business that tends to go with it. “Chill out” time with friends sounds like a nice contrast to “party” time with friends all the time.
I love that first picture of you and Zan. He looks like he is ready for the beach and you are all bundled up for winter! :)
I missed this post! Can you believe that? I don’t think I’ve missed a post of yours ever, and here I am, scrolling through your blog with my hot coffee and cold feet and BAM! a post I haven’t seen yet. It’s like finding a present on Dec. 26th tucked up under the Christmas tree and realizing it’s for you.
Love that picture of you and Zan! You two are just so happy it makes me happy. xoxo
