Rainy Day Dates (and Photography Fails)



Yesterday my friend Cheri and I decided to get together and do what we do best on cold, rainy days: grab lunch, then head to the bookstore for coffee and magazines.  I love our day dates, and thought it would be fun to bring my camera and document some of the details of our afternoon.  Cheri is so good at slowing down and noticing the details in everything (I am much less patient), so she seemed like the perfect person to help with this little project.


Unfortunately, when I pulled my camera out of its bag to snap the first picture, the battery was dead. So my big plans for nice looking photographs to share with you guys were replaced by these very mediocre quality iPhone shots. Sigh.  You get the the point though.  It was a nice, simple afternoon with a friend, and the perfect way to get out of the house on a dreary day without sacrificing comfort and coziness. (Pssst...  We also made a little Vine video, right here.)


What did you do this weekend?  What is your ideal rainy day date with a friend?

    Ha! Your iPhone pics are still better than my camera pics. Hrm. Maybe I need to figure that out, after all.

    Looks like you had a fun time!

    I worked on Valentine's chocolates over the weekend. And my idea of a rainy day date is a lot like what you posted here today - lunch and a book store would be great fun!
    And I think your photos came out just fine. =0)

    Oh please! Your iPhone pictures look amazing! I remember when my boyfriend and I had the same kind of dates early in our relationship, good times. Instead this weekend we were snowed in but still made the most of it. :)

    Your phone pictures look 100 times better than mine, but I also know the frustration of pulling out your nice camera only to realize it isn't charged! This looks like the perfect day.

    Love going to bookstores with a friend, it such a treat and there are so many amazing books out there! Otherwise curling up on the couch under a blanket with a hot chocolate and a chic flick is a great way to spend a raining afternoon - love it!

    I hate when that happens! Sometimes I forget to look if my cam is charged and I'll go out on an excursion to find out my battery is done-zo! Ugh!

    Bookstores are the perfect rainy day date. I have to have a good incentive to go out in the cold when it's rainy, especially, and usually good coffee is also required. I love cozy, warm, quiet coffee shops in the afternoon too...they know what they're doing with the comfy chairs and warm lighting and filling the whole place up with that intoxicating coffee aroma...it makes me never want to leave.
