- My soon-to-be in-laws are visiting in a few short days
- We have friends coming in town next week and will be traveling to Amsterdam {I can't wait to show you those pictures!}
- Ross and I will be celebrating my 30th {OH MY!} birthday by the Eiffel Tour {look out for celfies galore ;)}
- Shortly after Par-ee, I am home for a couple weeks for our wedding showers
- In May, Ross travels home for a bachelor party
- Then, from June to October we have 6 weddings {including ours!}: Cleveland, 2 in Chicago, Columbus, Bahamas, and Indiana
- In November we have a potential trip to Italy planned. And that brings us to the start of the 2015 holiday season. Craziness.
Needless to say, the last half of this year is going to be a bit hectic for us, but we are so fortunate to have these opportunities. So, we spent this weekend relaxing, exploring, really just spending time in our flat {which we hadn't really done until this past weekend}, and soaking in the little, unplanned time we have left.
One of the things we had been wanting to try, but we hadn't been around for it until Sunday, was a local, Vietnamese restaurant that we pass by on a weekly, if not daily, basis. To help us cross the "V" off our meals-around-the-world list, we tried this restaurant, which I will refer to as The Happy Buddha {the English translation of the giggle-inducing and inappropriate-sounding Vietnamese name}.
Per usual, I was nervous to try this cuisine, as I have never had it; however, I was happily surprised to find the meal flavorful, healthy, and super fresh. Just take a look at the veggie spring roll, duck pancake, and pho we tried below:
