Saturday we helped celebrate the 50th birthday of a dear friend. And it was a day-long event! We began just after lunch time by heading into downtown Asheville to the French Broad Chocolate Lounge.
It was, in one word... Amazing! I had a lavender and honey liquid truffle. Which was so yummy. The Man of the House had a "chocolate sip" - which was ridiculously rich and delicious. And we split a chocolate nib brownie, which was... so good there are no words!
If you are in or around the Asheville area and haven't been here yet - GO! Unless you are maybe one of those rare people who doesn't like chocolate - in which case, don't. But, you really should.
From there, we all headed to the Grove Park Inn to relax in the Great Hall and take some photos out on the terrace.
Afterward, her husband surprised her with a dinner where we all enjoyed some good food and company.
The birthday celebrations continued into Sunday afternoon with the grand baby's 5th birthday party. I keep saying this - but I guess it's time to stop calling him the grand "baby", especially now that he's five. He's definitely not a baby anymore.
He had a wonderful day with a Minecraft themed party, a yummy cake, and best of all - a piñata!
It was a busy weekend. We had a lot of fun. We may or may not have eaten an extreme amount of sugar. (We did).
Did you do anything fun this past weekend?
Awwww..... Your grand boy is adorable. I can't even remember what I did so obviously it wasn't very memorable! LOL
ReplyDeleteThank you Mrs Deb. I agree, but I'm probably a little bit biased. :0) I need a nice quiet weekend like that!
