The third trip in a row wore me out, but was SO good for my heart! I drove to west Arkansas to see a couple of friends, and then Alden and I went all the way to Birmingham to see one of our favorite shared podcasts- the Popcast Live!
I started out on Friday heading to Memphis to visit Amber and meet her sweet baby boy Fitz! He was SO sweet! I got to snuggle him and feed him and visit with his wonderful momma!
After dinner with Amber and family, I drove back to Marion to stay with my bestie Alden for the night. We tried not to stay up too terribly late talking….and got some rest before heading out to Birming
We stopped for some road trip snacks, and in honor of one of the podcast hosts who loves Cheez-its, we of course had to have them for our snack!
We got all checked into our hotel, got changed and set out for some afternoon fun before the show!
We had plans to go for a BBQ dinner, but we decided to have a progressive dinner instead because there were so many things to try! We got cookies from Cookie Fix (that we saved for after the show), then we had margs and queso at Little Donkey and did some shopping in that area. We finished our dinner at Saw’s Juke Joint for some AWESOME BBQ.
The show was SO fun. I haven’t cackled and guffawed in a long time. We laughed for two hours straight. I love podcasts, and it was so fun to watch it happen live. They did a bunch of their classic segments, and we totally enjoyed ourselves!
Knox and Jamie were great, but I also love another one of their staff members Erin, and she did some segments, too. A lot of fun!
After the show, we met up with a college friend who lived in Birmingham for late night drinks. Another delish Birmingham offering!
We crashed for the night and got a late breakfast before driving back at Over Easy. They had the best blue corn cheese grits! Yum!
The drive home was long. The first leg with Alden went by quickly, but the final 4.5 hours by myself drug on. With the help of some podcasts and practicing my Easter church music, I made it, but it wore me out to have so much road time over a weekend. I’m not 25 anymore, for sure!
It is always so . We’ve been friends since my sophomore year of college….and she’s so loyal and caring. Friends like that, you hold onto!
