Valentine's Weekend

A white weekend in Athens, Ga!

Jon and I had decided to do something Friday night for Valentines instead of going out on Sunday to avoid crowds? The snow delayed our dessert & Ciné plans so we made k'bobs on the grill with tomatoes, pineapple, olives, chicken, red and green peppers, and okra and they were AWESOME.

Great...by the way with a Terrapin IPA...

So the next morning we rode bikes to check out the remnants of snow and ice and leaning snowmen, then continued our delayed Valentine plans that night with a champagne and jazz reception at ciné - and we made it JUST in time for the petit fours (sorry about spelling here) and wonderful truffles from the local White Tiger Gourmet and endless glasses of the bubbly!  By 9:30 we were hickupping and went to our movie, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, which we will watch again b/c Jon fell asleep and I had to take several bathroom breaks in between.  Interesting movie though! I had to confiscate the popcorn bag from Jon during the movie b/c he has no sense of popcorn movie etiquette... 

The next morning we exchanged Valentines and went to Watson Mill for the day, after brunch at my FAVORITE Five Star Day!

The sun came out just as we arrived at Watson Mill so we rode bikes and hiked with Rudee for the rest of the afternoon.  Today was a perfect chance to experiment with my new 35mm Nikon 1.8 lens - suggested to me by my photographer friend Trent Chau.  I love this lens!

fascinating stuff...

I love my new lens :)

 My favorite pic of them all!
