After my time with Joe and Natalie my mom joined me on my travels. She was wanting to spend a little more time with me and I was happy to have her come along. We headed down to the city where I went to college. My friend Anna was heading into town that same night and I have not seen her since I visited her while she was living in South Korea-maybe 3 years ago? We went to college together and she became a really good friend of mine during our last year there. We met on an alternative spring break planting trees in South Carolina and bonded over being 5ft tall and having the same exact birthday one year apart! Ha!

My mom and I arrived into town and set ourselves up in an adorable bed and breakfast-one that actually serves a full breakfast in the morning. See more about there here. I have never actually stayed in a bed and breakfast and was so excited that it turned out to be less than other “budget” hotels in town that do not serve breakfast or a glass of wine upon arrival. It was so cute inside too, very cozy and not at all over done with decorations like a lot of these sorts of places.

Later that evening my mom and I met up with Anna and our friend Mike at a old haunt of ours. We enjoyed some craft beer and danced to a local band favorite. After that part of our evening my mom and I went to a 24 hour cafe for a late night snack (making weird faces).

The next day we went to the farmer’s market (yes!!) with Anna and took a tour of campus for nostalgia. Then we had lunch at a favorite restaurant of ours in town and I got the macaroni and cheese I remember being oh so good (it did not disappoint).

I also got to see another good friend of mine from college that I haven’t seen in 4 years and meet his really sweet girlfriend. Aww.
