This first weekend of summer was one for the books!! The weather cooperated and I even have a slight tan to prove it!
It’s a given that on Friday night’s we have sushi, but this Friday we decided to take it al fresco and eat at the cute park near our house!! Giving all the credit to Gary for taking dinner outside and helping us unwind for an hour sans social media and TV!
We had the Rock & Run Boston event on Saturday and I’m proud to say that with the exception of the monkey bars (absolutely no upper body strength here) I did all the obstacles. There were 11 obstacles across the 5K race and none were quite as hard as running up a five-story garage, strapping on a fireman’s oxygen tank and running across the lot.
It must be a prerequisite for any race to have drinks after! The entire race – Gary and I kept saying “I can’t believe we paid for this…” Post race we treated ourselves to some relaxation on the beach!
I am always so surprised how many beaches there are along the coast of Massachusetts. Happy to be able to start the summer off with a little tan!
I’m not one for outfit pictures but I happened to wear my white jeans on Saturday night and they stayed white! That’s a win!!

We went to The Cottage Kitchen + Bar on Saturday night. It’s in the Chestnut Hill Street shopping plaza and honestly never even knew it was a restaurant – always thought it was a Pottery Barn type store…apparently this happens a lot!
I had the Chopped Salad and seriously the whole grain mustard dressing made it amazing!! Instead of croutons they used crispy pita – so good!! When the manager found out it was our first time in the restaurant they offered to send us a dessert on the house. Donuts + Carmel = good thing I ran a race in the morning!!
Sunday I went to a good friend’s “UP” themed bridal shower and her sister did an incredible job bringing the theme together – I mean just look at the cake! Sadly all my photos came out grainy so no photos of the bride-to-be!
And as they say in the movies – “That’s a wrap!”
How was your weekend?
xo,
Sorry Guys the Link is broken and not working…
What a cute cake! Girl, I'm right there with you on the no upper body strength, I have baby arms. I'm working on it haha. How nice to enjoy a meal outside, love that. I have BURN marks from the weather this weekend lol, apparently my sunscreen wasn't strong enough or just didn't work, ouch!
What a great kickoff to summer! I love your Friday night picnic. A picnic and 5k obstacle race are on my 30 by 30 bucket list…looks like I need to spend a weekend with you! 🙂 Your outfit looks great & that's no easy task keeping white pants, white. Ha!
I love those obstacle races! They are so fun. An Up themed bridal shower is the most cutest/clever thing ever.
What a great weekend! Sushi al fresco sounds so awesome! The beach is always the best place to relax and unwind! Loving the theme of that bridal shower, too cute!
Those donuts… OMG! I need some of those in my life! That Up themed shower is SO cute! Sounds like you had a great weekend love!

Sounds like a fab weekend! Love your outfit picture. That restaurant definitely looks like a Pottery Barn or Restoration Hardware store. 🙂 Glad that the food was good though, and that you enjoyed it. Nice job on your race as well, love how you wore your wedding rings too haha. Your hubs gets points for the sushi date in the park too!
That cake looks so cute, and so do those donuts with caramel! Sounds like a great first weekend of summer
Loving your outfit pic! So cute. And that "Up" cake?! that is just adorable! Hope you had the most wonderful weekend! xo
An Up themed bridal shower?! That's amazing. Glad you got through your race and celebrated with a little beach time – nothing sounds better right now!
that cake. amazing!!!!
Congrats on the 5k race!! And that cake looks absolutely delicious, hope you have a great week!
Looks like you had a busy–but fun–weekend! That race sounds painful…but then again, pretty much any type of working out sounds painful to me! Haha. And I'm in love with that cake from the bridal shower…some people are just so creative…too bad I'm not one of them! XOXO
Congrats on rocking the race this weekend! It sounds intense!! Love the Up themed bridal shower- what an original idea.
Love dining al fresco – it's the best!! Great job on the race – so impressed! And that cake – cutest idea ever!! Glad you had such a wonderful weekend!! XOXO
Congrats on the race!! I never knew The Cottage was a restaurant. haha! Love the cake from the UP theme Bridal Shower. So cute. Happy Monday.
Best, Mree

What a cute cake & shower theme!! And could you look any more like a supermodel after your race? So gorg.
So glad you had a nice weekend! XO
Sushi in the park sounds like an awesome Friday night! Looks like you got perfect weather!
Looks like a lovely weekend and I am also down for Sushi Friday's!!! Love that cake… super cute!!!
Loving that cake… too cute! The movie came on tv twice this weekend and both times I caught it at the end which made me so sad 🙁
Looks like a fabulous weekend gurlie!
That Up cake is amazing! Such a cute idea– I'm definitely going to keep that theme in mind for the future! And I can't believe that obstacle course! You had to climb up that net thing and over the other side??! I would have never made it, haha. Those donuts look delicious! So awesome that they sent you a dessert on the house, what a nice gesture!
love your outfit details – that little bag is so cute! your picnic dinner looks like so much fun as well. congrats on finishing the race!
Mmm your sushi looks delicious (as always) and I love the idea of eating outside in the park! May have to steal that one 🙂 Love your outfit pic – I still need to break out my white jeans!! I've been meaning to pick up a Tide to go pen because I cannot wear them without carrying one of those around, haha! Glad you guys had a good weekend!
That obstacle race looks so awesome. Good for you for kicking its ass! An obstacle run is definitely on my to-do list for next year, now just to figure out which one 🙂 and post-race drinks are ALWAYS deserved!!
We had a local race very similar here this weekend. I had a free entry… but still refused to do it. My upper body strength is non-existent so I didn't even bother 🙂
That cake is ADORABLE!!!! I watched UP this weekend too 🙂
What a perfect first day of summer weekend!! I love the sushi in the park!!
What a great weekend!

Beyond jealous you can have a picnic this time of year and not melt right into the ground like would be the case here. Good job on the race! You definitely deserve some donuts dipped in caramel. And bonus that white jeans stayed white 😉
Your sushi pics always make me so jealous! We had sushi last night and it was not a pleasant experience. I definitely need to check out this obstacle course race. How fun!
Sushi picnic? Thats a perfect idea. And the rest of your entire weekend looked so delish, too — I'm hungry now! 🙂

You are just so fun, Biana! I wish I lived closer to you. 🙂 We did sushi last Friday! My hubby doesn't really like it so I was super excited. We got to hang out with some friends we haven't seen in a while and made plans for future fun stuff. Love it! And I love that purse!!
