Billy's Birthday Getaway

For Billy's birthday, we had the privilege to take a weekend away to celebrate. We headed across the country to Michigan to see our close friends, Patrick and Michelle. It is always a treat to visit Lavender Hill (Michelle's quaint home), as you can expect to be treated to first-class service befitting a top-notch bed-and-breakfast! Our flight arrived past ten o'clock, and this is what greeted us for dinner....



The following day, after a leisurely breakfast, we were surprised to discover that Michelle had coordinated private lessons from a bona fide French pastry chef! She had the accent to authenticate it! Cecilia taught us the fine art of making (drum-roll, please!) macarons!! If you know us, we love these delicate French treats and were ecstatic to be given instructions on how to produce them.

After the pastry class, we removed our aprons to don attire more befitting a night out...to a Muse concert.


I think Billy had a good time!
