BACHELORETTE

I am in love with these photographs my talented friend Carly took during my bachelorette weekend in Napa! 

LADIES BEING LADIES

These ladies are seriously THE best. They planned the most perfect bachelorette weekend ever. They flew me to San Francisco where the weekend got started with opening our goodie bags and champagne out in the city. Then we went to an amazing brunch and started our drive to Napa stopping, of course, for photos at the Golden Gate bridge. 

We arrived at the cutest little house in downtown Napa where we made flower crowns and sipped on mojitos with our "special" straws. After, we went to a delicious dinner in downtown Napa wearing our gorgeous creations! Bachelorette games were played. All of the girls got me panties and I had to guess who got me which ones (I got them all correct!). Then there were questions that they had Austin answer prior to the weekend and they compared my answers to his.... our answers were all the same! My heart melted when they read me Austin's answer to "When did you know you were in love with Kristen" and his response was "when she became my best friend". 

The next day involved a limo and a lot of vineyards! The weather was gorgeous and I was surrounded by my best girls. 

The weekend ended with a hike followed by lunch at Lagunitas brewery. Then stopping by Sausalito before heading back into the city for some exploring!

My heart was so full all weekend. I am forever grateful for the amazing memories and I wish we could get together like this more often!!

**I snagged a lot of these photos from the girls because I was too busy living in the moment to take my own!**

AZALEA FESTIVAL

Back in April we took a mini vacation to Wilmington for the Azalea Festival. One of my friends from Vermont was visiting so it was a perfect excuse to go! It was mostly just a street fair but at night Widespread Panic played, which was fun! After the festival was over Austin and I stuck around and played tourist. Unfortunately most of the old homes were closed for touring but we did a bit of our own exploring and got to check out the battleship. We ended the day with oysters and tasty drinks! Overall it was a successful weekend!
