Girls Day Out

This weekend, Courtney and I took some time to do some shopping, lunching and general site seeing.  We had a great time and it was awesome to just fly by the seat of our pants and go wherever we felt like.  We started the day by heading over to one of my favorite shops, Monkee's, on Clay Avenue for the huge sale they were having.  Neither of us bought anything, but we did run into a friend from high school, so that was nice.

From Clay Avenue, we headed to Midway to have lunch at Wallace Station.  They have the most amazing sandwiches served on homemade bread.  I had the Paige's Veggie Cheese and Courtney had the Inside Out Hot Brown.  Both were delicious and huge, so we had to get doggie bags.

After lunch, we decided to head to Historic Midway to do some antiquing and general poking around.  Midway has some really cute shops set on either side of a train track that still operates.  We spent a couple hours there just browsing around and I scored a vintage lighter in one of the antique shops.  It's very Betty Draper, my new fashion role model!  We were lucky enough to see a train come through town as we were shopping and I managed to snap a few shots of it flying through.  It was really something straight out of another era!

After Midway, we headed back to Lexington to hit Adele on Ashland Avenue and then L.V. Harkness before stopping at Shakespeare and Co. for some afternoon refreshments.  Shakespeare and Co. is downtown Lexington's newest restaurant and bar.  It has a very unique decor and atmosphere as well as a huge menu.  We spent a few hours there relaxing on the patio and having a glass or two of wine.

Later that night we spent a few hours on my deck waiting for our friend Mary to grace us with her presence before heading out for a night on the town.  What was supposed to be a crazy night out turned into a glass of prosecco and a piece of Goodfellas pizza.  I was exhausted after a long day outside and ended up calling it an early night somewhere around 11:30 or 12:00.  Even though I ended up being a party pooper, we still had a great girls day and evening.  Can't wait to do it again!

Until next time, have a great day!
