blast from the past

remember us?! we've emerged from a long winter of hibernation. honestly, i can't tell you what we've been doing these past few months other than trying to stay warm during a gray and cold winter but we've managed to stay busy.

this past week has brought sunshine and temperatures in the 80s--quite a change from the snow storm we had on the first day of spring just a few weeks ago! today's group run started from cascone's in the river market. after breakfast, mike and i headed to fervere bread and while waiting for them to open, enjoyed a walk around the neighborhood. we joined the line outside of fervere and were awarded with a loaf of their delicious bread--whole grain travel.

lunch found us trying a new-for-us restaurant, Woodyard Barbeque, where we shared a smoked salmon sandwich and a turkey/sausage sandwich and sides outside on the deck. did i mention how fabulous the weather is?!

after a long day of errands and dinner from the grill, we decided to get our first taste of Murray's this season and, as usual, it did not disappoint. i had amaretto + almonds and easter basket (white chocolate ice cream with malt balls and m+m's) while mike had chocolate flake formage and butterscotch. yum!

hopefully this is just the first of many sunny, warm, fun (and bloggable) weekends in the coming months!
