Festive Weekend Recap: Raleigh Edition

This Friday I made my way to Raleigh for a weekend full of fun with my best friend, Kate. We started the weekend by going to a Christmas party!

Before: Getting ready...it felt like we were back in our App State apartment...mirror selfies, music blaring, and counter top scattered with makeup.

After: Some things will ever change

On Saturday, we decided to start the day and fuel up with an AMAZING bunch from Benelux Coffee. Next time you find yourself in Raleigh, be sure to stop by and grab a coffee from here!

Between their signature waffles and lattes and Kate's quiche and iced mocha, I can't decide what was best.

 We then decided to go to the Governor's mansion. They were holding a free open house. 

Going to the Governor's mansion made us want to explore some of Raleigh's other historic homes. Next we went to the Moredecai House and were able to go inside the house itself as well as walk around the property (including the separate kitchen and garden).

I was OBSESSED with this garden. Exactly what I would like to have at my own home one day.

President Andrew Johnson was born in this house

It was definitely a weekend full of fun and adventure!
