Smile #53 - Still Got My Boys

Since graduation, it is hard to host gatherings when friends live miles apart. Finally after careful organization, Bubble and I were able to sit down and catch up with D and C. :)

I dragged everyone to a pub nearby my house, Brazwell. It recently opened taking over the spot for Blackthorne. The new rooftop bar area decorated with firefly stranded lights is perfect for a summer night.

Actually let me correct that - the rooftop area is perfect for a cool summer night. Charlotte's temperature has been rising all week, reaching mid-90s. So thankful we were seated inside with A/C. Crowds gathered for FIFA Women's World Cup tournament. USA vs Sweden and Switzerland vs. Ecuador.

Food, drinks, and friends, just the right way to relax after a week of work. :)
