36 hours in winston salem

a few years ago, the new york times featured winston salem in their travel section.   the article highlighted places to go and sights to see during a 36-hour escape to the city.  this weekend, as friends gathered back in winston salem for homecoming, we rocked our own version of "36 Hours in Winston Salem."

friday

1:30 pm lunch at rose's deli (we all enjoyed cris' special)

7:00 pm dinner at la carreta (margaritas, of course)

10:30 pm president's ball (the bi-annual wake forest bash)

saturday

11:00 am brunch at crepe myrtle (thanks for the beignets, becca!)

2:30 pm burgers at minorcas (delicious cookout, with bush as grill master)

5:00 pm homecoming tailgate (so many more friends)

6:30 pm wake beats maryland (go deacs!)

sunday

10:00 am breakfast at bruegger's (maybe not midtown, but bagels and coffee? yum)

go deacs

the great win, as referenced by my previous post

(in)auspicious beginnings

after contemplating this for over a year, i've decided to bite the bullet and start a blog. i figure, with family and friends in louisiana, mississippi, tennessee, virginia, and london, to name a few, now is as good a time as any. it's hard to say where this is going, how it will turn out, or who will end up reading this, but i hope that someone will enjoy it. maybe, like the exciting game for the deacons yesterday, it will turn out to be a resounding success.
