Friday in Oxford

I can't believe that the weekend is over...again! It went by too fast, but we had a great weekend nonetheless.

On Thursday, Justin called Erik and asked him if he and I would want to drive down to Oxford, Ms. for shopping and dinner. Erik taking him up on his offer told me about it on Thursday night and of course the answer was "yes!" What a neat surprise. I no intentions of buying anything, but browsing can be just as fun. So, on Friday afternoon, we headed out.

We ended up getting there around 4:00 which gave us 2 hours for shopping before our 6:00 dinner reservations at City Grocery. We walked around the square and down the side streets. It would rain, then would stop, but didn't spoil the fun.

The square in Oxford is doing some major construction due to the upcoming presidential debate at Ole Miss, but is looking great. As we walked around, Erik commented on how busy it was and how he wished that our square was like that at night. There are people everywhere and tons of stuff to do, but its all in being a college town, and besides most of our stores close at 5:00 or 6:00. Maybe we'll get there one day.

Our dinner at City Grocery was great. Erik and I each ordered a filet, Justin had shrimp & grits, and Amanda had some pretty good looking salmon. The place was packed when we left, heading back to Covington, but not before stopping for ice cream in Memphis. Such fun!
