On Saturday, Brian and I went to the Great American Pie Festival in Celebration, Florida. There is a pie competition element of the Pie Fest but that's not what brought us out. Oh no, it was the all-you-can-eat pie buffet! A pregnant woman's dream come true!
Unfortunately, it was about 900 degrees (okay, 91) on Saturday so I didn't get too many pictures. It's hard to juggle a piece of pie, a a bottle of water, and a camera while mopping sweat from your forehead. (With mental pictures like that, who needs photos?)

This Key Lime Pie Bar from The Key West Key Lime Pie Co. was our favorite pie of the day. I don't usually like fruit and chocolate together but this was delish!
The festivities continued Saturday night when we attended Florida Music Festival to see our friends' band, Big 10-4, play. The show was great and it was nice to be out at a concert instead of in bed at 11pm. Reminded me I used to be fun. : )
Funny story: When I showed the bouncer my ID to get into the concert, he questioned it! He looked at it for about 2 minutes and made me smile to compare to my ID picture like I was trying to sneak in! I had to laugh. I mean, really buddy? Do underage pregnant girls often try to sneak into the bar with a 30 year old's ID? {In case you're worried I was poisoning my baby in a smoky bar, it was an outdoor venue. Baby girl was just fine!}

After a long, fun day on Saturday, my Sunday consisted of less fest-ing and more resting. I made Arnold Palmers and Samma's famous pimento cheese for the Masters and spent the day flipping between episodes of Studio 60 on DVD and the Masters Tournament. I also spent hours online looking for the right bedding for baby girl's crib. I am really starting to stress about this nursery - but that's another post in itself.
Sunday night I made the Apple Streusel Cheesecake I told you about last week. Unfortunately, it was a bust. The cheesecake part of the recipe was no good and it never set properly. I'll try again someday with a new recipe.
Hope you all had a good weekend! Is it Friday yet?

A pie festival!?!? That would be heaven! I'm drooling looking at the photos. I can't wait to hear nursery ideas.. No stressing!! That's the funnest part :)
my favorite was the keylime dipped in chocolatee
I'm sorry the Apple Streusel Cheesecake was no good... but it sure looks delicious- thanks for the tease! haah :)
I thought the cheesecake was delish, as did Ashley. He's serious about disposing of it for you if you don't want it! =)
Hope the minter cheese was good! I too do not like fruit and chocolate, yet always receive things like chocolate dipped strawberries.

Pie oh my!! Why do we not have pie festivals in Missouri - this sounds amazing! Key Lime is definitely my favorite too!

Pregnant or not, that would be this girl's dream!
How fun! I'm not a pie person, but there are a couple kinds that I like! Haha, that's so funny that the bouncer did that.
Pie Festival looks like absolute heaven. It's a shame the cheesecake didn't turn out. It sure did look pretty!!
I would EFF UP some pie right now! And? The cheesecake looks da bomb! What was wrong with it besides setting? Where did you get the recipe? I've never made a cheesecake before, so this may be too advanced for me.......
And, I'm in the same sitch on nursery/baby junk. Yikes.
So sad about the cheesecake! Apple streusel anything is my favorite.
And ummmm, pie? PIE? A whole festival of PIE?! That's pretty much my idea of heaven.
I wish we had a pie festival here! So jealous:) Yummy yum
