Today is my birthday! I just wanted to let our all brides and readers know that Michael and I are away for the soggy weekend in Newport. We are staying in some luxury diggs at the Vanderbilt Hall Hotel which, I have to say, is absolutely exquisite! Very few hotels have oodles and oodles of art history books lining the shelves of their lobby. I am in complete heaven! Tonight we are going out for a low key dinner, and tomorrow we’ll hopefully be eating at the West Deck where Michael’s childhood friend is the executive chef.

And a special Happy Birthday to my birthday buddy, Erin, from Bride Design. I do have my laptop but I will handle all business emails when we get back. Talk to you all Monday!
