NC Weekend Adventures

There’s something about the end of summer/early fall transitional season… that time of year when boat days turn to sweater weather, White Claw seltzers turn to pumpkin lattes, and everyday life turns a bit more comfy cozy. I live for the days and weeks post-Labor Day into middle October. The summer heat sizzles down. Football takes over. Weekend day trips pick up. There’s so much to do, so little time to enjoy it all. With my husband and partner in crime beside me, we soak up as much daylight we can get. And it never gets old. This year it’s no exception. Looking through and reflecting on all the recent photos in my camera roll, I’m realizing just how busy we’ve been exploring beautiful North Carolina in September and October. It’s a good kind of busy — a happy busy. Getting the most out of the transitional weekends I love so much. Sharing some highlights below!

Weekly Recap: My Sister's Bridal Shower and Inevitable End of WFH

Last weekend, I flew back home to Wisconsin to attend/host my sister’s bridal shower. It was supposed to be a surprise buttttt the Brandl fam is terrible at keeping secrets, so the word got out a little early (thanks Mom, still love you). Busted secrets aside, the shower ended up being a lot of fun and my sister thoroughly enjoyed herself, so I’m calling that one a win. It was also nice having a few extra days off work as I was able to spend time with family, visit with my grandparents, and indulge in a few of my Wisconsin favorites. I stayed up way too late for three consecutive nights, but shared lots of laughs with loved ones which helps justify the exhaustion I’ve been feeling since I returned back to North Carolina late Monday night.
