This weekend we were, once again, on the road.
First stop: Niceville
My Aunt & Uncle were in town all the way from Texas so we went one night early to spend a little more time with them.
College football consumed our morning, afternoon & evening. As it should. Haha.
Go Noles. Roll Tide.
I woke up Saturday morning craving donuts after dreaming about them all night.
When in Niceville, the only place to satisfy that craving is Tasti-o's.
Best. Donuts. Around.
[if you aren't familiar with them and you're in the area, you really need to check them out. great choices, extremely fresh & a lot of southern hospitality]
I was specifically craving a raspberry filled pastry- so I made sure to get one.
Then we did the usual, chocolate with sprinkles and the never just basic glazed.
And of course, my dad & Jimmie went all out with breakfast that morning as well.
Eggs. Pancakes. Bacon. Toast. & then donuts :)
That evening was the main reason we were in town for the weekend.
We had a fundraiser dinner for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.
The Harley Raffle.
[ if you aren't familiar with the foundation or the event, please look in to it! ]
[ if you'd like, I'd love to give you information on how to get involved ]
The evening was filled with laughter and food and catching up with people we hadn't seen in years.
Caroline danced with Uncle Matt a good bit - on his shoulders and all.
Their most well known number that evening: "Born in the USA" - Bruce Springsteen
She also had Nonnie, GiGi and Opa chasing after her a good bit.
She waved to everyone hello and when we were done talking she would say Bye-Bye and blow a kiss. She was a huge hit.
Caroline even made friends with a little girl that was her age. The pushed chairs around for a little while, explored the military uniform shadowboxes and had some fun stare downs.
None of us won anything but it was a successful evening anyway.
You'll find us there every year.
Second stop: Brewton
Sunday we were headed back to Alabama for a Baby Shower & for (of course) a round of golf.
Sweet little Harper will be here in November and it was so exciting getting to celebrate her arrival and her sweet momma that day.
It was such a pretty shower, with lots of fun favors.
Caroline was tired by the end of it for sure.
She did a lot of running around with her friend, Pheriby.
[could've had a sugar rush from the m&m's she was obsessed with]
But now we're home & plan to be here for a few weekends in a row.
Ya know, unless something comes up ;)
