Just. A. GREAT. Sunday.

Reluctantly-early start? Yes, please. Haha.

Catie had a baby shower to attend, and we had to get on the road before too much daylight burned itself away. We opted for quick showers and headed off in the direction of Taste of Belgium, where Ryan eventually joined us.

I have to say, I'm pretty pleased with the array of foodie stops we've made this weekend - and it's been a lot. Some of my favorite places, all wrapped up into one short visit = happy me :).

Oh! Rewind to us stopping over at Mica 12/v before our seats were ready at Taste; we were looking for Trisha, but ran into Beth instead! Small world. I love it. I thought it especially funny since the last time I was there, I walked out with an Ohio Roots hoodie, which I took to Arizona. Kalyn immediately made me promise I'd get her one on my next trip home; now that I know Beth works there, should be easier to make that happen :).

My parents were still en route down from Mt. Vernon when we wrapped up with our visiting, so we did some last minute sight-seeing out to Westwood Northern Blvd to an old apartment I'd lived in, and the old industrial trainyard I used to photograph. Fond memories, all around.

We didn't dare leave Cinci without stopping by Findlay Market for one last hello with Becky [& because she's not seen Sydni in I don't know how long....

Happy Mardi Gras, Findlay Market!

And to top off an already incredible weekend...

... DRUMROLL.....

SYDNI IS COMING HOME WITH ME!!!
Let me try.. just try to explain to you just how excited I am to have her with me for the next few weeks. It's just one of those mama things that nobody will ever fully understand until they are one. She may not be the best road trip companion, but I don't care. She's here, and we're gonna have a blast over the next few weeks.

LOVE. of my life. ♥ ♥

You're lookin' at one happy girl.
Life.. is.... good.
