Hey everyone! I hope you had an awesome weekend. Did you do anything special to celebrate America’s birthday? I had a great time with friends at a BBQ and relaxing during an otherwise low-key weekend. Make sure to link up to your weekend snapshots at the end of this post!
I was off work on Friday, so Josh and I celebrated with a trip to Pasta Amore for lunch. It was delicious and a perfect day for a meal outside in the sunshine.
The rest of Friday consisted of boring stuff like cleaning and house chores so I’ll skip over that and move on to Saturday.
Saturday morning Josh and I started off our Independence Day celebrations by heading to the movies to see Inside Out. It was such a great movie that kept with Pixar tradition in making me feel all the feels. And the short movie beforehand, Lava, made me want to hop a plan back to Hawaii ASAP.

After the movies Josh and I headed over to our friends Jordan and Ben’s place for a BBQ on their rooftop, along with Joanna and Jeff. It was such a fun time!
There was food galore. Joanna made an amazing bean dip, Jordan made sangria, Ben was grilling, and oh yeah, there were pretzel rolls.
Jordan made these incredible macaroons.
And I brought a fruit tart. I can’t take credit for it, but Whole Foods baked goods sure are delicious! 😉
I also found these adorable cups at Francescas. Aren’t they fun?
It was my fourth 4th with this amazing guy. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate the day. And the celebrations continue after work today as it is our 2nd wedding anniversary! It has been two incredible years.
Sunday involved sleeping in, hanging out, and eating the leftover fruit tart for lunch. We picked up dinner from the new Mexican restaurant, Andres. While Josh’s enchiladas looked mouthwatering, my chicken mango avocado salad tasted pretty good too. 😀
Questions of the Day: Fruit tarts yay or nay? How did you celebrate the 4th of July? Do you still enjoy Pixar and Disney movies as a grownup?
Your weekend looks wonderful. Especially the food! We spent a good portion of our Fourth cleaning as well. BORING, however it was still a great holiday and can’t wait for the next one.

Happy Anniversary!! Have so much fun celebrating each other tonight! You are so right – Fresh Market as THE BEST baked goods!!
I love Fresh Market! And thank you so much! We had a great anniversary!
UM YES to fruit tarts. And those macaroons. : ) I’m so glad you liked InsideOut! I loved it, but I think Up still is my number one! And I just got home from Nantucket, but luckily extend my weekend a bit longer so I can ease back into real life. So glad you had such a fun weekend! Hope you have a fabulous Monday!
Up is my number one too! I love that movie! I hope you enjoyed your long vacation! I’ve always wanted to go to Nantucket!
Happy anniversary! I want to see Inside Out but I think I am going to hold off and see Minions. Cannot wait for it! That Sangria looks amazing!
I can’t wait to see The Minions! Despicable Me is one of my favorite movies ever!!
Happy wedding anniversary you too! Looks like you had a great weekend celebrating : )
P.S. I love your outfit from the Fourth of July – too cute!

Your weekend looks like a lot of fun! I agree that Whole Foods does have a great bakery section. Glad you had a good 4th of July!
Thanks Lauren! It was an awesome weekend!
I absolutely loved Inside Out! I saw it when I was in New York (during a huge storm) and teared up a bit. The short Lava was adorable as well! Looks like you had a great holiday 🙂

Love the cups!…my tank top said the same thing!
I thought they were such fun cups! I love that you had a shirt that said that!
Looks like such a fun weekend! Happy anniversary–have fun celebrating!
Thanks Annette! It was a great weekend and a wonderful anniversary!
I really want to go see Inside Out. One of my kids got to see it, which means I probably won’t see it until it comes to the cheap theater. Which is ok, since that one serves beer…
Happy anniversary!
Yay for cheap movie tickets and booze!! haha
I was to see inside out so badly, we went and saw Jurassic world this weekend though and it was pretty good!
I’ve heard good things about Jurassic Park! I’ve just never seen the first ones so I think I need to catch up first! haha
This looks like such a greet weekend!
