One Sunday in Tampa.

This past Sunday, I got together with a couple of girlfriends and went to brunch at a Tampa favorite, Oxford Exchange. OE is just as cool as it sounds - it's a restaurant, cafe, and bookstore all in one. It can get a little pricey ($10 for a mimosa? LOL I think not), but I I love its modern yet vintage-y type of atmosphere. Of course, because I'm a bad blogger, and in part because I was sick and whiny, I didn't snap any pictures of said atmosphere...but here's a picture of my friend Stephanie's adorable cappuccino.

It was unbearably beautiful outside, so after brunch, we walked about 10 minutes down to Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park, a big public park in downtown Tampa, where we proceeded to take a ton of pictures...of ourselves. Selfie, central, heyyyyo.

We even got strangers to take pictures for us. I know I look like I'm fake laughing here, but I really did laugh at something my friend Jennifer said. Forever our secret. 

Even as the poor little sickling that I was, I couldn't help but feel happy soaking up some Vitamin D in one of the most beautiful parts of my city. I think I may have forgotten I was sick. Seriously, Florida, you were really showing off that day. Plus, Curtis Hixon Park is just stunning in itself. Again, it's another place worth checking out if you're ever in the area! 

After handfuls of snarky comments and catching up, we walked our happy butts back to our cars and went our separate ways. As soon as I sat down, I remembered very quickly how crappy I felt...but overexerting myself was 100% worth it. Between brunch, sunshine, and catching up with my friends, what more could I ask for in a Sunday? Here's to having another weekend of adventures! Enjoy the weekend. XO
