weekend adventures

What another awesome couple weekends spent in Harrisonburg! I am soaking in all of the local "stuff" before I move away at the end of the summer. 

First was Mother's Day weekend, which I spent with my wonderful momma, and I know she is reading this right now! We got pedicures on Saturday and spent Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon at some JMU baseball games.

This past weekend was another one for the books. Cam and I spent the time eating at places that only Harrisonburg can offer, compared to Winchester. First was Macados for me, Q'doba for him and Benny Sorrentino's for both of us. Benny's offers some of the largest pizza I have ever seen. Your choices are as follows: cheese, pepperoni, sausage, and whatever the monthly special happens to be. But that's not what makes it unique. In order to transport one of their pizzas home, you need a pickup truck....yes a pick up truck. The box measures four feet wide and four feet long....I am not joking. The photo below is a slice of their pizza. The best part about the whole thing--the price. We got two slices of pizza and two drinks for 10 bucks flat.

To wrap up the weekend I spent Sunday morning taking newborn/family photos for my best friend. She is a wonderful mommy to two beautiful children as you will see from some of the photos. I could not be more proud of her for everything she has already taught her son and how much she will influence her daughter. I loved photographing her family because it gave me some great practice shots of kids without the pressure. I will be the first to admit that I should have taken more photos and done more poses, but that's why you practice. I can't wait to show her the finished photos and also make her a gift out of some. Here are some of my favorites from the day. 








There are many more adventures to come with Memorial Day right around the corner, and then vacation after that!
