A "FALL" DAY IN THE LIFE


LOVE these posts! I have done A Day in the Life - Weekday Workday and A Day in the Life - Weekday Funday but I have never done A Day in the Life....Weekend Day!! As some of you may know, Mr Nine, our youngest and myself headed off on a college excursion across the state last weekend. 

Packing the overnight bag.
BUY BAG HERE

Mr. Nine put Daisy up on the bed to play a bit as she was sad we were leaving.

Lots of goodies (of course many Fall related) to take them including my Turkey Burger Muffin CupsPumpkin Drop Cookies and a Nutella recipe that will soon come to the blog.

And we're off in the Raptor


Road trips south always call for a stop at our favorite gas station and a sweet treat is a must.


Mr. Nine is the best car DJ and always plays what I like, He found a 80's hair band play list and this came on...haven't heard it in forever!


Pretty proud of how well he is taking care of the apartment. Look how big his closet is!


This boy was so happy to see us! I brought them pumpkin for their porch.

First piece of business in Bloomington was going to the famous Pizza institution, Mother Bear's..it was delicious!

Made a stop at Starbucks and walked around campus and Town.


Kilroy's, the most famous bar in town complete with a mural wall and the #9 of course.

Time for a little break so we checked into the hotel and chilled til dinner. Made them pose for this picture...but

Really this is what they were doing the whole time, lol.


Waiting on our table at Big Woods, super cool indoor and outdoor restaurant.

Let's eat boys!

Mama got a cocktail!

And fish tacos!

And it made me want to hop scotch. Sorry blurry, husband says I was moving too fast!

Time to chill and watch the ND game. I always bring my Ugg Slippers to Hotels in the Fall and Winter. 


Thought you might like to see my new jammies from TJ Maxx, super soft and isn't the back sooo cute! And of course I took my Barefoot Dreams Cardigan...so cozy!


Come back tomorrow for my most favorite recipe of the year.
