Easter at Elizabeth's- April 4, 2010

Nothing says easter like scrumptious lunch. So needless to say, I had a good easter. We started out with mimosas, a delicious foccacia dish, and cheesy grits and ended the brunch with a walk in the sun.

Red River Gorge- April 3, 2010

Even though I'm not graduating, the upcoming big finish for our categorical friends has spurred me to go out and do things that I've always wanted to do in Cincinnati and haven't gotten around to yet. So Ndidi, Patty, and I headed out to the gorge and Natural Bridge State Park in Kentucky to enjoy the spring and stretch our legs a bit. It was fantastic and after some hiking we even stopped by the UK campus just to see. And yes, that's Ndidi hiking...in nature!!

Speckner BBQ- April 2, 2010

The weather is finally getting better and with better weather comes grilling out. Lauren had a great idea with her last-minute celebration of spring and we enjoyed some delicious burgers, cookies, beer and wine all topped off with a bellini nightcap. Couldn't ask for anything better.

Portland- Mar 26-30, 2010

I love Portland. It was good to be back in town and see friends. Cindy was gracious enough to host me for the weekend and we had a great time eating, hiking, and canvasing the city by foot. I was in town just long enough to happy hour-it-up with Crystal and Lisa. Always nice to catch up with old friends.

Cheryl and Tara's B-Day- Mar 23, 2010

So it didn't work out as surprisy as I would have liked it, but we still had fun of course because everyday is Friday at TGIFridays.

Patio Patty's Day- March 17, 2010

We had one our first beautiful days in a while, so it was lovely that we had a reason to celebrate. Missy, Angie, Kim, and I headed to the Hyde Park Tavern's patio for green beer and reveled in the packed house.

Tara's Bachelorette, Las Vegas- Feb 5-7, 2009

In my 35 hours in Vegas, I slept maybe 5-6 and partied hard with bachelorette Tara the rest. After arriving at ~9:30 in a post-call haze, we dressed and hit up Tao, the Venetian club. Around when radiology rounds would start in the PICU, we made the seemingly long trek back to our suite...taking some modeling pics along the way. The next day we headed to a scrumptious dinner at Sirio in the new Aria hotel and then limo'd around town, hitting up Mix in Mandalay Bay, Criss Angel's Believe show at Luxor, and then ended the night/morning at Pure at Caesar's Palace.
