Weekend Out And About!

Maze-9428

We made the most of our beautiful 80 degree weather this weekend with two fun outdoor events. I’m so sad it’s over.

Friday night the weather wasn’t so nice and forced us to stay inside. Matt and I ate leftovers and sipped Manhattans once Mazen went to bed.

Foodblog-9338

Wild rice + Pot Luck Farm lima beans + Caromont Farm Goat Feta + Great Harvest Spinach Feta + Squash from our garden all happy together in a bowl

Foodblog-9339

Saturday morning Maze and I headed out to the city market covering 3.5 miles in an hour and a half. Screenshot from my Endomondo app!

walk (2)

I picked up some more peaches but I was also excited to get my hands on a few apples too!

Foodblog-090156

When Matt came home we packed up the car and drove way into the country to Devil’s Backbone Brewery for the Virginia Craft Brewers Fest.

Foodblog-9390

The event was poorly planned from a ticket purchasing standpoint, but we had fun nonetheless.

Foodblog-9362

Our friends Rosie + Kevin and Meg + John {<—talented brewer at Starr Hill!} were there with their babies. In fact, it seemed there were more kids and babies at this festival than a Fridays After Five!

Foodblog-9358Foodblog-9368Foodblog-9376

BOB strollers represent!

Foodblog-9394

Will. Not. Keep. Hat. On!

Foodblog-154837

There was tons of great craft beer to sample. I let Matt The Brewer have all the fun so I could drive us home safely.

Foodblog-9378

I did taste two beers that are now high on my favorite beers list: the Williamsburg Alewerks Jubilee (a Belgian Quad) and the Blue Mountain Spooky – a bourbon barrel pumpkin beer!

This one is for you dad!

Foodblog-9367

We settled down for some music to round out the afternoon and let the babies run wild

Foodblog-9401Foodblog-9406

And run wild they did!!

Foodblog-9408

This amazing brie and apple grilled cheese totally hit the spot for a late afternoon snack. Grabby hands big and small went after it.

Foodblog-9405

When we headed home, Matt and I picked up a pizza from Belmont Pizza, watched a documentary on Jamestown and went to bed early.

Foodblog-9417

Because there was more fun to be had on Sunday!

After eggs and toast for breakfast, I put Mazen down for his 10am nap, left Matt chillin’ on the couch and went for a 5 mile run. The weather was crisp and cool, and without the stroller I found myself back under sub-9:00 miles. That is until I got dehydrated! I started to wish I had the stroller with me because water is always within arm’s reach. Nevertheless, I finished strong and incredibly red in the face!

Foodblog-111707

After showers and a light lunch, we headed out to King Family Vineyards for their Sunday afternoon polo match! Sadly the actual polo was cancelled, but there were hundreds of people still out on the field tailgating. I can’t believe I’ve lived here for 3 years and have never been!

Foodblog-2-3

Foodblog-2-4

It was the perfect setting for babies to play. M loved the short grass and even stood up all by himself from a squat!

Maze-9435-2

Foodblog-9427 Maze-9429

This photo should be in a commercial for a Toyota Highlander!! This was our first time tailgating with an SUV and boy was it fun. The SHADE alone was much appreciated. Have I mentioned how much I heart our automobile!?

Maze-9434

One of my BFFs Sarah was coordinating an event for the Junior League so we set up as her neighbor (and provided part of the picnic spread from the bakery)

Foodblog-2-2

We had a grand time until Mazen was ready to go home for his nap.

Maze-9432-2

Later that night Matt and I were too full from cheese and bread in the afternoon to make a big dinner so we made tomato + avocado sandwiches and pestoed up some squash. We’ve been having lots of really easy dinners this week.

Foodblog-2-5

And that’s the end of that chapter!

    Like usual, everything looks delicious! I love both of the dresses you wore- especially the striped one. Mazen would be great in a commercial sitting behind the car for shade 🙂

    I love how much there is to do around where you live. We live right outside NYC and either I am not good at finding fun things to do or there just aren’t as many that are as enticing as yours. I also wish my husband loved squash as much as I do because your sandwich looks awesome, although if it was our dinner I would be dining alone! haha

    Kath, WHAT is that fab dress at your last event? It looks amazing for going out and breastfeeding! Spoken like a mom of babies, huh. I am about to have my second baby next month and am stocking up on nursing stuff all over again. Please share!

    You guys are awesome to do so many great things with a baby!

    I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets red faced when they run. Even just 2-3 miles and my face stays red forever. Pretty annoying when you have to go somewhere right after, lol.

    Love your dress from Sunday! Looks like such a fun weekend and like you enjoyed the beautiful weather. It’s sure been warm around here but it’s been nice to spend some time on the deck eating lunch or dinner but then retreating inside once it gets a little too warm. 😉

    Loved this post!! I have to say, reading your blog was what got me into drinking quality beer (IPAs all the way!!) after college 😉 Mazen is TOO cute and looks like such a happy baby…I don’t know if you had mentioned this previously, but has he started to walk yet? From the pictures of him pulling himself up it looks like he is ready to get up and take off 🙂

    Oops, I meant to add this on to my last post!! At his age it is TOTALLY normal to be standing but not walking unassisted (if that is where he is in his development). I’m getting married next year and the my ring bearer is going to be the son of my old neighbor and good family friend. He wasn’t wasn’t walking on his own regularly until at LEAST 16 months, and he is now 3 and is lightyears ahead of his peers in terms of coordination, walking/running, and jumping. It really bothered me when I would hear other moms bragging about their kids walking at 8 or 9 months, because each child is so different! (And although this little boy wasn’t super active until a later age, he has definitely passed each and everyone of the children who were “so advanced” at 9 months 😉 )

    1 – I love your green striped dress!

    2 – My husband and I were in Cville this weekend to find an apartment. I kind of wish I had known about the Craft Brewers Fest but it’s probably best that I didn’t because we had to drive home to PA Saturday afternoon!

    3 – Speaking of Saturday, we had lunch at Great Harvest and I loooooved the Tofu & Pesto on Dakota. Best tofu I’ve ever had that wasn’t fried. : ) Then we shared a Frodo for dessert.

    I think I’m in love with Cville already.

    Maze is sooo adorable! Food looks great, weekend looks fun! and big CONGRATS on that 5 miler…especially a steady pace! I always love getting back into running a longer distance or faster after easing off for awhile. our bodies need those breaks but also crave that high intensity at different stages. Keep up the awesome blogging.

    Dear Kath,
    as usual fantastic galore of veggies and delicious bites!

    I’d like to ask one question about your running: do you run at a constant rhythm or do you follow a spurt/slower pace/spurt pattern or both (depending on the day-fitness level-mood)? maybe you have already written about this topic, but I might have missed it…

    Thankyous,
    Ella
