Family Photographer

This was the first weekend since we moved into our home in Dublin, and really since we’ve been in Ohio that we didn’t have a list a mile long of unpacking boxes or house projects to get done.

So we decided to explore.

Friday night started with me teaching my youngest brother in law (Curt, you’re also currently my favorite brother in law) how to make a kick ass meal, with only a few slight hiccups.  Also, probably the most exciting moment of my last week, I found a store that carries Los Vasco’s wine. The wine that has long been the house red at my mom’s house, and reminds me of home, so I did what any sane rational woman would do, I bought three bottles. (which, to my credit, was less than the case that was my knee-jerk reaction to finding out here)

Saturday, Jeff woke me up asking if I wanted to try out a new coffee shop on High Street in Worthington, which turned into walking all along High street, drinking coffee and poking through the shops.  Knowing that we didn’t have anything waiting on us at home, we decided to expand our exploring up into Delaware, for more poking around and lunch.

As we drove, I hit up Yelp, (which I must say, is an app that I use on the daily, especially now that I’m exploring in a whole new part of the country) to find us a place for lunch, and we landed at Restoration Brew Worx.  

KILLLLLLER good food and great beer. And hard cider.  Jeff and I took advantage of the exploring time to start to nail down details of a new project that we have in the works, as well as stopping every oh, three feet, for me to snap another photo. (Thank God for a patient husband)

Drove a couple hours up I71 to Akron, to photograph the coolest birthday bash I’ve ever seen for a fellow photographer, then back to Cbus.

Sunday brought more exploring with Jeff, this time up to Sunbury, which is a small town to the north east of the city, again poking through small shops before meeting up with my friend Heather and her family for lunch at the Firehouse Tavern for burgers and again, beer. (hey, it’s the weekend)

To wind the weekend up, I had a session at Battelle Darby Metro Park, with two of the most fun people I’ve had the pleasure of working with. They pretty much gave me creative license with their session, but more about that when I post their session’s blog.

Sunday was capped off with butternut squash soup Jeff had waiting, a big pile of blankets, a super smooshy big chair, and a roaring fire in the fireplace.

As far as weekends go, one of the best we’ve had since we moved.
