weekend recap

Good morning! I didn't take enough pictures over the weekend for a robust recap montage, but I DID snap the Marco's Grilled Cheese stand and that's what counts, right? If you have tasted the buttery and crispy sandwiches sold at this famous food cart, you know I'm only kind of kidding. Make sure to put it on your to-do list if you visit. Greasy snacks or not, any weekend in Iowa City is amazing, and this one didn't disappoint. Friday night involved margaritas and Mexican at Saloon followed by an epic reunion at Brother's. Saturday was surprisingly balmy for the end of November, but we skipped the tailgating this year and went straight to Pint's to watch Herky battle Bucky over pokey stix, Bloodies and brews. Unfortunately we fell to Wisconsin, but the final score on the field wasn't the most important thing. I love that so many of us still go back to campus every fall—such a fun tradition and testament to how much we loved life at Iowa. Hope you had a rager of a weekend as well and have Thanksgiving plans with your nearest and dearest carved out this week. I'm looking forward to seeing my parents and sisters in Minnesota—Wednesday night can't come soon enough! While I know you'll be busy packing and making final preparations for your big feast, make sure to stop back here tomorrow—hoping to have Gift Guide number two up and running!
