Memorial Day and Vaca

We had a fabulous Memorial Day weekend! My sister and her husband came down to visit for the weekend, and we had a surprise visit/slumber party with my parents and other sister. We managed to fit 7 grown adults in a 2 bedroom house with one bed, one air mattress, two couches and a twin mattress :)

Here are a few pictures from our weekend (I say a few...and I promise between all 3 cameras, these ARE just a few!)


Everytime a new guest comes and stays with us in the ville, we take them to one of our most favorite restaurants that pretty much sums up our city...Lynn's Paradise Cafe! Oprah calls their Mac & Cheese her most favorite!

Our new tradition we have started is each guest has to pick out a hat and sunglasses and have their photo taken!

Zack and I didn't want to miss out...we've pretty much worn every hat, so we went with a new look...

Another favorite restaurant of ours is Captain's Quarters. They are on the river right at the marina, so we can sit out on the deck, watch the sunset and pick out our dream boat! Husband's birthday is TODAY but we celebrated early at the restaurant and got a chocolate molten cake!


We did some shopping one of our favorite streets. My sis and her husband found lots of fun things. I now know what to get them for their anniversary this year...



We grilled out chicken and steak for a delicious lunch!




Sunday evening we all decided to go bowling and hit up the arcades. We had a fabulous time! My dad scored the highest of the whole evening with 187...he got 5 strikes in a row!

After bowling, we hit up the arcades...nothing like 7 grown adults scrambling around with coins and tickets, playing these fantastic kids games :) And we all got a goodie bag of prizes!



After dinner, the clumsy me that I am accidentally walked into a rotating glass door. The door slid over my little tootsies and it was not a pretty site. My husband came to the rescue and bandaged me up!



We had such a wonderful weekend with our great family. They are terriffic!




***NOTE - The Pink Potpourri will be taking a mini vacation this week. Hope you enjoy these pictures for the next few days. I shall return to the blogging world next Monday!
