21 Dates of Summer: Dates 17, 18, and 19

I realized that each one of these dates revolved around food. That says something about us...

We love to stuff our faces at every opportunity we get. Truth.

After New York, Gabe got a severe case of poison Ivy (as you can see on his knee) and we couldn't so much as hold hands for days. Brutal I tell you.

It was a crazy week for both of us so when we got the chance to get away all we wanted to do was sit outside and have some time to catch up with each other - the kind of time when the little ones aren't tugging on your legs or trying to talk over you to be apart of the conversation;) 

Atlanta Bread Co. had this beautiful outdoor patio area - I was very impressed.

We had a movie night which was the perfect excuse to make up our own popcorn recipe.

We made caramel popcorn following Paula Dean's recipe, except we didn't bake it, just mixed it in a brown paper bag, and topped with fudge and marshmallow cream. Don't even get me started.....divine.

I am a morning person by nature (this could be argued since babies entered the picture), so it was cool to change up the time of day for a date and scope out a bagel joint we had heard about. It was in a random place, but true NY style. Loud and to the point, and the bagels being the size of my face.

A dozen cream cheeses and two dozen bagel flavors, Gabe and I stared for a good ten minutes before deciding which to commit to. We will become regulars no doubt...they were fantastic.

*Next week is the last two dates of this series with the 21st date being on the last official day of  summer on the 21st. The post will be open for you to link up your summer dates to as well!
