celebrate good times come on

I had an easy-peasy weekend. K's birthday was on Saturday (we're finally the same age again--he's younger than I am, which is weird for me), and we were planning to take a cruise on Lake Champlain but it was pretty hazy and K opted to save it for a nicer afternoon. I changed from my thematic nautical stripes to this yellow number (one of K's favorites) and we headed into town to see Despicable Me and pick up a bankers lamp for the office before heading home to eat nachos and drink dacquiris while hiding from the heat. We're pretty low-key about birthdays around here, but it was nice just to spend some time together.

On Sunday, K went fishing in Vergennes with his new friend J, and I went into town to meet up with my dear friend S, her new husband J, his friend M, and a couple of adorable dogs. We met up by the waterfront, had some lunch at the Red Onion Cafe on Church St., and then I headed home for some reading, relaxation, and a little photo shoot that I will share sometime later this week. S was visiting from Boston just for the weekend, since J has a law internship in Burlington for the summer--I miss that girl! (Meanwhile, poor K and J spent an entire day not catching any fish--he came home, defeated, around 10 pm.)

PS: On our way home from the movies on Saturday evening, we spotted this crash-landed hot air balloon:

Oh, how I would love to take a ride in one of these someday!
