We left town on Thursday night and flew to TJ’s hometown of Rochester, NY for a long weekend, and it was so much fun! We both decided to take a few days off from our laptops, and it felt great to mostly unplug for several days, although we did have our iPads, haha.

We got back last night, and now it’s back to the real world, which is exactly why this Weekend Snapshot is happening on Tuesday, instead of Monday. We always have such a nice time when we’re visiting Rochester, but this time we did a few things that we haven’t done before, which was great. I decided to share a few more than my usual 8 weekend pictures, especially since there was an extra two days to our weekend.

How did you guys spend Labor Day weekend?
