A Night To Remember

We already wrote a post about Friday during the day. You can see that post linked here. There are a number of reasons why I wanted to split the posts into a day and night one. If you’ve seen our Instagram or Facebook pages, you’ll probably guess why haha. Also, we saw and did SO MUCH on Friday during the day, I didn’t want to make that post too long. When we last left off, we had taken a little rest at our Airbnb after a crazy day. While Lacey slept, I spent a bunch of time looking for a cheap but good French bistro or restaurant.
