We spent the last three days celebrating the birthday boy's big 5-0! Starting with delicious pizza and beer at Harmony Brewing. (For anyone who cares, in my opinion, Harmony and Amore Trattoria make the best pizza in Grand Rapids. Possibly the only pizza worth eating in GRR.)
We also did a little thrifting and had some great finds.
It's not a celebration without a cocktail or two at Viceroy. Steven made me this beautiful lavender lychee-flavored concoction.
I was serious about wanting to wear an all-black wardrobe from now on!
Bunting from HeidiAdnum on Etsy was just the festive touch the living room needed for the small shindig we held for Andy on Saturday.
I asked Andy to get me "a bunch" of mint from our neighbor for drinks--he apparently dug up an entire plant!
We had lots of good food courtesy Andy and our friend Roberta...and cocktails, courtesy me. I made mostly whiskey drinks: Whiskey Smash, Scofflaw, Junior, Old Fashioned.
And we recuperated on the lake on Sunday.

ReplyDeleteGah - that lavender cocktail does look amazing. And I am so envious of the lake time. It's been a cool summer up north and I am really REALLY hoping to get a does of heat when I travel east later this month.
