Vicki's Visit!!

My good friend Vicki from Tuscaloosa came to visit us for the weekend. Unfortunatly Eduardo was not home to spend the weekend with her also but Ana Maria and I had a blast!
She arrived Thursday night and Friday morning we got started on the fun! We brought back some old memories by playing tennis Friday morning. It was such a beautiful weekend to do anything outdoors! We drove around campus, ate breakfast at Ricks Bakery and ate a delicious lunch. That afternoon we took Ana Maria to the park in the neighborhood and then got ready to hit the town for Bikes, Blues, and BBQ. Vicki and I had a nice dinner at Emelia's Kitchen in downtown and then walked around a little bit to see all the bikers. Honestly, they were a little too much for Vicki and I and we just headed home.
(Just jotting this down for memories)
Vicki brought her dog, Jim, with her. Ana Maria was hot and cold about him being here, especially in our house and in my car. He was such a good dog though and loved Ana Maria throwing the tennis ball to him.
Vicki gave us our first digital camera two years ago when we found out I was pregnant. It was an early baby shower present so we could capture all the stages of my belly! We took that camera with us everywhere for two years and last weekend I dropped it and it broke. It was so hard for me to tell Vicki that this weekend but she was proud I had it for as long as I did. Luckily, Eduardo was just given a really nice camera from one of his players and so this is the new camera I am using. I think it takes really good pictures but I still miss my old "Vicki" camera...









This was the view of Bikes, Blues and BBQ when we parked the car to go to dinner. It brought over 450,000 people to Fayetteville this weekend....mostly all motorcyles!



Saturday morning we woke up and went to the Fayetteville Farmers Market. If you haven't been it is an exciting place! So many farmers, so many vegetables, flowers, fruits, and plants. So many of everything! We brought Jim with us but he didn't last too long until he kept getting too excited and we had to put him in the car to wait. Vicki wanted to shop and she did! She bought three different bundles of flowers, a Razorback knick-knack and lots of vegetables to use this week to cook with. Vicki loved it and I knew she would!




These were the Razorbacks made out of peach pits.
This is the first week that we saw pumpkins! It's really beginning to look like Fall!




We finished off our morning by walking to the library to get some books on CD for Vicki to take back in the car with her. We were so hungry after all this walking, we walked even more to Dickson Street for a great brunch at Common Grounds. We all loved what we ordered, especially the Bloody Mary's!
