It’s always a little sad to see a good weekend end, but it’s always fun to remember the things you do with the ones you love.
We had such a fun weekend with my parents visiting us this past weekend. They came in on Thursday night so Ben and I were able to make an evening of it in Rochester before we picked them up at the airport.. We very rarely go that far for a night out, so it was a fun excuse to go into a different city for a change. We had dinner here and coffee here, and both were exceptional! I am seriously obsessed with Ethiopian cuisine right now…and I’m thinking of attempting to make this tomorrow night. Although I’m almost positive it’s one of those cuisines that are best left alone…somehow those kinds of dishes never turn out quite right.
The fun thing about having visitors is that it ends up feeling like a vacation for yourself as well. We did a lot of relaxing here at the house, drinking coffee, sleeping in, and playing Candy Crush (not even joking). Mom and I went out for crepes and coffee on Friday, plus a little shopping at TJ Maxx. Her and I used to go out alot when I was still at home, so it’s always fun to have the chance for a lunch date with her!
My parents treated us to a dinner out on Saturday evening, which is always fun! We went to Agava Restaurant in Ithaca, and besides the long wait and slow service, it was a good choice. I ordered the burger (yes, you read that right) and it hit the spot. I guess sometimes you just need a good burger and fries, huh?
