Sunny Weekend

The weather here in Eschenbach was just perfect this weekend. Super sunny, blue skies, late sunsets. Eric and I couldn't not take advantage of it. Friday night we bbq'd hotdogs and watched movies. Saturday morning we drove to Weiden, did some spring clothes shopping at H&M (our guilty pleasure) then headed to the outdoor stores for some yard decor. We ended up buying a couple tiki torches, flowers and hanging pots. Our backyard is pretty cute so far, and plan on buying even more pots and flowers this upcoming week. Eric marinated up and grilled some steaks, I cooked brownies and we just enjoyed the evening at home. We stayed up past midnight for probably the first time in a month or two--we're old and boring now.

Sunday morning we got up right away, heading to a Flea Market in nearby Pressath. The mart ended up being fairly disappointing, but since we were up and at 'em we couldn't waste another beautiful day. We grabbed breakfast, and then relaxed on our lovely little back porch...after picking up some beer and wine. I brought out speakers and newly downloaded music, Eric fired up the grill and started up some lunch. It was so warm and pretty out, so after we ate we decided to head to the lake. We hadn't been near it since it was covered in ice and snow, so we were anxious to explore.

After about a 5 minute drive we were there, and it was beautiful. So many people were out walking, running, rollerblading, playing with dogs, feeding swans. There was even a couple riding along on a horse-drawn carriage. So lovely! Apparently Eschenbach is known for birdwatching and we can totally see why. Birds and birdhouses filled the woods by the lake and gave us so much to see and hear. We walked on the trails for the rest of the afternoon. On the way home we stopped from some ice cream and then spent the evening eating (that's all we do anymore) and lounging. It was just a great way to end the weekend.
