We did a belated Mother’s Day celebration today!

We did a belated Mother’s Day celebration today! Featuring: flowers from the farmer’s market and brunch turned lunch, and boba from @chahousecary 🧋 Not pictured: all the BTS gifts from @sujungchronicles and our brother who actually exists and was present today.

Huge thanks to @vangflowers for the beautiful bouquet (only $20!!!) and @lucky32cary for accommodating our large group without a reservation.

P.S. I almost didn’t post the first photo because of the taillights but my mom was too cute not to!!! 😭💜 cute moms >>> cute backdrops

Why didn’t we have @mezcalitonc in Clayton when

Why didn’t we have @mezcalitonc in Clayton when I lived there?! My sister @sujungchronicles has been frequenting Mezcalito recently and I had been feeling serious FOMO. When they invited me, I was ecstatic and made a list of what to order based on Sujung’s recommendations lol #hosted

Here’s what we tried:
♥️ Birria fries (my favorite! big enough to be a meal)
♥️ Parrillada (meat platter)
♥️ Mariscada (seafood platter)
♥️ Cantarito cocktail (a little bit spicy)
♥️ Mangonada margarita (HUGE—see Alex pics for scale)

We enjoyed everything tans would get everything again! Their portion sizes are huge—Alex and I got three meals out of what’s pictured. Last but not least, they’re opening a Durham location later this year, which I’m really excited about!!!

P.S. special shout-out to Alex for sitting outside while it was freezing so I could have good lighting for photos. You can see him in a very tight jacket that is mine lol

Happy wedding week to @thejiyoungshin ♥️♥️♥️ We took a short trip to Charlottesville to celebrate and did a bunch of talking/eating/drinking. It was low-key and perfectly Jiyoung! Can’t wait for Friday!

Pro tip: you can go to @pippinhillfarm without a reservation if you’re okay with sitting on the lawn! 🥰🍷

Though I feel like I’m still recovering from it,

Though I feel like I’m still recovering from it, I’m so happy I made it to @salemcollege this weekend to celebrate Salem’s 250th anniversary (and my belated 5 year reunion)! The only regret I have is not being there for the entire weekend! I’m always missing Salem and Winston when I’m not there and this weekend just filled my cup. 💙💛💙💛
