weekend.

The weekend was spent in Bayfield for the Whistlestop half marathon. We have been going the last four years and it's become quite the tradition. I suppose to be running in it, but opted out due to some knee issues. It was a PERFECT weekend to still go. The weather was unusually warm and we spent our time wondering around the town looking at all the small shops and checking out our favorite used book store. It has a little "secret garden" spot out back where you can drink coffee and read.

We stayed at a cute little place called the Isaac Wing House, and the owners brought us fresh baked apple pie in the morning. How sweet is that? If you ever go to the South Shore of Wisconsin, you HAVE TO stop in Bayfield. It's one my favorite destinations and we're so lucky it's only a short and lovely drive away.

happy weekend!

What you are you up to this fine weekend? A bunch of us are off to Ashland and Bayfield tomorrow for the Whistlestop half marathon. Its one of my favorite courses. Its on a beautiful trail where you are surrounded changing leaves and the weather is nice and cool. I didn't train all that much (again), but I think I'm a pro at winging things like this now. We're all staying in a historic hotel called Greunkes where JFK Jr. and other celebrities stayed. We have stayed here the last 3 years and I like assuming we're staying in the same room he did. It just makes the whole experience :)

Here are some things I'll leave you with for the weekend:



After seeing this post, I REALLY want a vintage sequined jacket. Too cool.



A dream to be here.



Maybe this will be my drink of choice this weekend.



The best everyday bootie. Too bad they are out of my size! (via Leslie)



Hat season!



Happy Weekend!
