Weekend Snapshots

November 30, 2015 22 Comments

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and holiday weekend. I was up in New Haven, Connecticut since last Tuesday with my in-laws. We had a fabulous time together and did so many fun things. Our plane was supposed to get in at 4pm yesterday but instead got in at 1:30am, so I am beyond exhausted as I type this up before work. I’m going to make my recap short and sweet, but don’t forget to link up to your weekend snapshots at the bottom of this post!

Newark Airport Layover

If there’s an airport to have a long layover in, I recommend this one! There’s a huge selection of eateries and bars. Four hours flew by in a flash.

I fell in love with Down East cider and picked up a pack to take home with me.

New Haven Adventures

It was great getting to be back in Connecticut to see loved ones and eat lots and lots of good food.

Plaza Azteca Her Heartland Soul

There’s chicken under all that onion and cheese and it’s delicious.

Ice New Haven Her Heartland Soul

Getting ready for the holiday festivities!

Mediterranean Her Heartland Soul

I’ve been craving Mediterranean food.

EST pizza is the best!

Thanksgiving Celebrations

Punkin the Pilgrim Her Heartland Soul

We were missing our Punks like crazy, but photos from our amazing cat sitter made the distance a lot more manageable.

Black Friday

We spent the whole day out shopping and had a blast. While I didn’t get any crazy good deals, it was still a lot of fun.

Brueggers Bagels Her Heartland Soul

We fueled in the morning on Bruegger’s Bagels. This new Southwest one is so good!

Smash Burger Her Heartland Soul

We had Smash Burger for lunch and I devoured my chicken sandwich. It was great.

Adventure Rooms CT

Adventure Rooms are sweeping the country as a fun group activity that makes you think and work as a team to try and escape a room in a set amount of time using only your brain and what’s inside.

Adventure Rooms CT Her Heartland Soul

We all attempted our very first adventure room together. While we failed at making it out in time we had so much fun and feel ready to dominate the next adventure room we do together.

Hanukkah House

We started a new tradition this year by making our very first Hanukkah House.

Hanukkah House Her Heartland Soul

We think it turned out very well for how inexperienced we all were.

Hanukkah House Family Her Heartland Soul

Our charming little house. It was the perfect way to wrap up a week of family holiday time.

    TOO MUCH good food!! You can’d do that to me this early in the morning!
    Making gingerbread houses each year as a kid was a tradition in my house and I looked forward to it SO much! I can’t wait to start it back up with my littles!

    So many pics of yummy food! I’m so jealous!

    I just flew in and out of Newark a few months ago. Amazing airport and the staff was helpful! We didn’t get a chance to eat there but I will have to try harder next time we fly through there.

    Oh man – looks like so many good eats. Especially those french fries. But I’m partial to french fries 😉

    I just hung out – mostly around the fireplace this weekend. But it’s been SO nice to be around the fam!

    Looks like you had a great long weekend, with some fantastic food! I went Black Friday shopping on accident, made the kids an appointment to see Santa on Friday not even realizing it was Black Friday, since we were at the mall, might as well shop around a bit! 🙂

    What a fun Thanksgiving!! Whenever I have tried to make a gingerbread house in the past it always turned into an epic fail, so your Hanukkah House looks like a mansion to me!

    It’s so nice that you were able to head back east for the holiday! It looks like you all had such a great time together…and obviously it looks like you ate SO well!

    Also, loving your new Hanukkah house tradition. You two are so cute!
