Summer Project III

This dresser came from Grady's college days . . . and is pretty much all we have for our guest room. So, I decided to spruce it up . . . and make it my Summer Project Number 3!

College Days Again?

Look, there's nothing wrong with pretending I'm back in college occasionally . . . right?

Our Puerto Rico Trip!

It was incredibly hard to pick and choose from all the photos we took, but hopefully this will give you at least an idea of how wonderful Puerto Rico was!! We primarily traveled around San Juan and Old San Juan, which is only a quick bus ride away from each other. We spent our days either at the beach or walking around the city. Our nights were spent at amazing restaurants, bars, and our hotel casino!

The Parrot Club in Old San Juan- a WONDEROUS meal!

The Dragonfly: a Latin-Asian tapas restaurant - INCREDIBLE!

A tour of the Bacardi distillary in Cataño, Puerto Rico.

And of course, gelato from the Piu Bello in San Juan!

Instead of spending money on t-shirts and useless trinkets, we decided to put our money towards something we knew we'd keep forever. After shopping in Old San Juan, we found this great painting of a street in Old San Juan by a local artist! I was quite excited about it!

Puerto Rico . . . HERE WE COME!

We apologize for the lack of updates . . . we'll be spending our ONE YEAR anniversary . . .

Painting Poll

With all this extra time on my hands, I'm once again wondering what else to do around the house. I recently decided I wanted to paint our breakfast nook- but can't figure out what color use. We have a pretty colorful living room with a lot of reds and greens- so I figured I'd go with one or the other . . . or maybe yellow?
What do you think?

. . . take the poll!
