♥️ Indigenous Owned Winery ♥️ Yesterday, ♥️ Indigenous Owned Winery ♥️ Yesterday, I took a day trip to the Triad which included a visit to @nativevines, the first Indigenous owned winery in the country! Located in Lexington, it took us about half an hour to get there from Winston-Salem and should take just about an hour and a half from the Triangle area. We did a tasting, which is $10 for a stem glass; $15 for a larger stemless glass. You get to sample six of their wines and keep the glass! Swipe to see their current wine selection. Afterwards, we got a bottle to share and spent the rest of the afternoon outside chatting and drinking! It was a Saturday we’ll spent. Huge shoutout to @sujungchronicles for her list of indigenous owned businesses in North Carolina. You can see the full list on her blog: https://sujungchronicles.wordpress.com/2021/10/12/indigenous-owned-businesses-in-nc/ Parts of my outfit is linked in my @shop.ltk app!

The Bloody Mary of my dreams! Alex and I went to @ The Bloody Mary of my dreams! Alex and I went to @blindpelicanseafood for brunch last Sunday, and we had to get one of their epic bloody Marys. The one pictured here is Lobstrocity which comes with shrimp, bacon, grilled cheese, and lobster tail. It’s hard to believe but they have even bigger, wilder bloodies! You can swipe to see the menu. We shared the Lobtrocity and the shrimp and grits entree (which we HAD to get for brunch at a seafood place) between the two of us and we were absolutely stuffed. The shrimp and grits was A+, and the lobster was meaty and delicious. I’m not a bloody snob like Rex but he loved the bloody itself as well! Highly recommend if you like seafood or bloodys! 🦞 Using my photos without my permission is copyright violation. Email me to discuss usage of my photos.
♥️ 𝗪𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗖 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝘂𝗺𝗽 ♥️ Naturally, I had to share everything we ate while in DC! We spent most of our time in DuPont Circle and thankfully enjoyed all the food we had. Here’s where we went: 〰 @pearlsbagels (first picture is their Frenchie; highly recommend) 〰 @roseavebakery (thank you for the rec, @doughnut_days!) 〰 @dachashaw beer garden (loved their fries!!!) 〰 @barcharley (we didn’t do it but they do bottomless mimosas/bloodys/beers!) 〰 rooftop bar at @viceroydc 〰 @bandittacodc satisfied all our late night cravings 〰 @aka_friscos (not in dc but great sandwiches) 〰 not pictured but the wedding we went to was at @irongatedc and the food was great! We had so much fun in DC (it was my first time visiting in like four years?!) and want to go back soon! Do you have recommendations for us? Save this post for your next trip to DC!

If you’re like me and love flights of all sorts, If you’re like me and love flights of all sorts, check out the coffee flight from @42andlawrence! I had been feeling FOMO seeing photos of coffee flights at @footnotecoffeeandcocktails so when I went to 42 & Lawrence in downtown Raleigh a few weeks ago and saw that they had coffee flights, I went back promptly and got one myself! You get a choice of four drinks from a preselected menu (swipe to see). The drinks are 4 oz each so the flights are good for one or two, depending on how much caffeine you need! 😉 Their seasonal/specialty drinks are not part of the flight menu but I highly recommend! I’ve tried a few, and all have been excellent. Alex particularly loved the Headless Horseman which he described as the perfect fall drink—think PSL with a little bit of spice! Last but not least, you can add 42 & Lawrence to your list of Asian-owned businesses! 🥰 Using my photos without my permission is copyright violation.
I spent the weekend in DC meeting a whole lot of n I spent the weekend in DC meeting a whole lot of new people (went to a wedding) but I also got to see a few familiar faces while in town, which made my heart happy! What were you up to this weekend? My dress and Alex’s suit are linked in @shop.ltk and I’ll be sharing some photos of the food we ate soon! 🥰
