North Walk to South Walk

Last Saturday Farra and I did something we never get to do, enjoy a beautiful walk on a gorgeous day down to South Park. We went on a little stroll down to Halcyon Tea to meet up with some friends. If you are a fan of high quality tea I highly recommend you going down to Halcyon Tea, and you must sit down for some tea tasting with the owner, Jason. I have never met anyone so knowledgeable and approachable about tea. He truly loves what he does and wants nothing more than to share it with you.


My beautiful Farra, on her phone, as always.

I liked the image of a modern design tea house with a touch of old.


High grade teas all waiting to be discovered.

Last Saturday we had the extreme pleasure of playing in the rain, parading with sparklers and making an entire bar holla with some our favorite hosts!

The purpose: Tori and Austin's dual bachelor / bachelorette party.
The theme: picnic to pub.
The outcome: just view the pictures.

FYI: Tori and her friend Myka have 2 awesome wedding blogs:
sitting in a tree & tulle and feathers


Aside from their entire HOUSE being set up like a PICNIC, yes, I said picnic. The food details were amazing. From small white bags marked chips and small bowls of caramel corn near picnic basket to picnic food done right and drink that complimented its food counterpart (sweet tea lemonade!)


Endless amount of hors d'oeuvres.


The candelabra, as charming as Tori and her home. Ok, its also Austin's home.


After the house festivities we made our way over to the "pub" part of the night at Hamilton's Tavern. Certainly not without an activity, bust out the sparklers.


The coordination was essential, but instantly everyone was brought back to their childhood and like kids, lit the sparklers as soon as they got a chance.


Us.


Ms. Jackie a la Abbey Road.


Hooray, was an understatement.


Farra feeling the "La Folie" and short of fist pumping she got the whole Saturday night crowd to cheer the couple on.


Thanks to DJ Austin Hendrix for giving us some tunes at his own party.


Cant call a party a party without some girls getting low.


And the night ended "happily ever after".
