Winston-Salem Weekend

On the road again …and any hotel that has a bowling alley and treats Nilla like she has a red carpet gets my vote. We stayed in Winston-Salem last weekend and were greeted with gold revolving doors and wine and cheese happy hour in the lobby of the Cardinal Hotel. It was almost ironic that David and I had discussed our favorite 90’s movies (mine is the Secret Garden, his is Far from home), before getting to the hotel and it basically being a recreation of Richy Rich meets Dunston checks in. There were basket ball courts inside, an indoor two-level slide, shuffle board, ping-pong, a juke box and bowling alley.

I beat David, of course, because we used to go to the bowling alley growing up before Wednesday night church. None of this compared to the hotel’s seer sucker robes – hello Christmas list 🙂 I spent all of Saturday in that robe watching a terrible (and by terrible I mean amazing) Jennifer Lopez movie. I’m literally too embarrassed to say what movie it was. But sometimes you just need a fluffy bed and a lifetime-esq movie with coffee all morning promptly followed by a heavenly eggs Benedict brunch while sitting in the cutest bistro chairs. ya know? Traveling with Nilla is so fun. I can’t help but think that traveling with a child might not be so easy someday. I’m not pregnant whatsoever, but I did just spend some time with my oh-so-cute nephew, Wilson, and it makes me think about that for the future…

On to the clothes, this top’s feminine details were love at first sight for me. So much so that I wore it two days in a row. The earrings have been some of my favorite ones for years and this new cuff is my favorite addition to my arm party. It’s literally the perfect match to my Daniel Wellington watch and I’ve loved wearing it! David and I are heading to Nashville today – load up, here we go! Thank you so much for checking in and for reading – it means so much!
