Hubs left me for an ENTIRE weekend, which usually would have meant me lounging on the couch and doing nothing.  Something a little like this...



Unfortunately, Coco was the only one would did this all weekend.  The Virginia Tech Alumni Association Research Triangle Chapter hosted a tailgate for the Virginia Tech/Duke Football game locally.  Over 400 alumni came out, which is an absolutely crazy number for our chapter.  Don't get me wrong, Hokies travel well, but the tailgates that our chapter usually hosts reach barely above 100.  The more the merrier, and it was a fabulous day.  I love hanging with my Hokies.


Sunday my girlfriends and I caught brunch at NoFo at the Pig.  Brunch is my all-time fave meal and NoFo has a great brunch menu, as well as an uber cute gift shop.


We then caught the matinee of the Carolina Ballet's production of Dracula.  If you follow me on Twitter, then you already know that I had the privilege of catching the dress rehearsal a few months ago.  However, it was really that fantastic of a production, that I went again, with girlfriends in tow, to get us all in the Halloween spirit.  As always, the Carolina Ballet did not disappoint and it was a brilliant last show.  We also had fantastic seats so that always helps.  Going to the ballet always makes me want to dust of my pointe shoes.
