a crotch rocket daycation

sundays are date day for chrissie and i, and every now and then it's nice to just do something different (translation: "sometimes it's nice knowing you don't have to spend date day grocery shopping"). last night we decided we'd ride the motorcycle to roanoke to eat, ride around, whatever. the weather has been unseasonably comfortable, but it was actually cold riding this morning! even though it only takes about 45 minutes to get there, it felt like 2 hours since all we wanted to do was stop to warm up! we ate breakfast on the way then headed for downtown.

honestly, you'd think we never used a camera before! we have 10 seconds before the timer goes off and takes the picture, but in that short period of time, we'd forget about it and we couldn't seem to get it together and get a decent picture! in the first one we weren't ready at all, then in the second one chris was, but apparently i still hadn't remembered the whole 10 second deal, but luckily by the third picture we were both ready! we decided that a picture of the two of us was necessary because we got dressed at different times, without knowing what the other was wearing, and we both picked out jeans, an olive green shirt, and black shoes! oh, and our motorcycle helmets match, so it really looks like we planned the matching.

we did a little more walking around, we looked for a gem and mineral store which we never found, we did some pigeon watching, and we ate at a mexican grill which i can't go to again. for a while there i was convinced the food was going to kill me. yeah, it didn't settle so well. but all is not lost, my friends, oh no! i see the bad food and i one up it... chris and i are cooking dinner on the grill, but the real treat is our reese's peanut butter cup ice cream for dessert! i mean, since it is national ice cream month after all, it would be a crime not to eat it, you know?

  3. Sooo cute that you guys matched, hah. And sounds like a fun mini-cation!

    I cut my hair after being with my husband for like 7 months, and ever since then we've slowly started looking more and more alike. I wish I had a dime for everyone who told me we look like siblings (his own step-brother told us that).

  4. And re: the tattoos, totally know what you mean. I definitely am more comfortable blowing money on tattoos now when we actually have the money to go around (no kids, house, etc.) I know it won't be that way in the future, so I try to enjoy it while it lasts...hope you can get some new art soon!

  12. mexican food does not do well with me, either. i think i'm the only mexican who asks for no cheese and salsa on their plate.

    Also, you guys are so ridiculously good looking. like a jcrew ad!

  13. OH! Your outfit is so cute! You look so cute in these pictures! Not to be creepy but...Where did you buy these items?!

  14. lauren, you're not being creepy at all! whenever i see someone wearing something on a blog that i like, i always wonder where they got it! the shirt is from target, the bag is from forever 21, and the shoes are from rugged wearhouse (but since i don't think they are nationwide, the brand is pierre dumas).
