Weekend Recap

A freaking men. I love this quote!!



This last weekend was the first weekend, in a while, that was actually fun, full of activities and was generally busy.  Friday, Mike and I had a dinner date night.  We are making more of a conscience effort to get out together more - even if it's just for dinner.  So after work we headed up to Bonefish and had a couple appetizers, their famous bang bang shrimp and their decadent calamari.  I was so full from all their bread and pesto and apps that I could barely finish my soup.  After dinner, my sister in law asked if I was available to get out for a little for the heck of it.  After we picked up Vincent from my aunts and dropped him off at home with Mike, we headed to Bar Louie for girl talk and more food lol.  We tried to catch a late movie, but they ended up cancelling the flick we were planning on seeing. 

Saturday morning, Mike and I were on a mission to get our cars in shape.  It was a beautiful day out and while we cleaned, Vincent played in the back.  It felt so good to take everything out of the car, wipe down the inside, disinfect, vacuum and get a car wash.  My car seriously looks brand new - it hadnt been that clean since I first got it 5 years ago! I tend to get in the habit of living out of my car because we are always so busy! I ran some errands at Target, did some laundry, and we cooked dinner.  It was such a productive day and it felt great to knock off that item on my to-do list.

Sunday we went and saw Rio 2 with Vincent.  He did OK, but probably could afford to wait a little longer before we try again.  After the movie, we met up with my mom and dad for brunch at Leo's.  After brunch we headed back to their house and hung out.  Vincent decided to forgo his one and only nap - ugh! We went for some froyo and sat outside.  It was glorious.  After froyo, we headed over to Mike's parents and hung out there, sat outside on their glorious porch, let Vincent run around and ended up staying for dinner.

By the time we got home, Vincent was SO over it.  He was overtired, cranky, dirty from playing in the mud, hated having to take a bath even though we have to usually pry him out of the bath, kicked, screamed and overall lost his ever loving mind.  He was in bed by 745. 

I had all the best intentions to do some more laundry and be productive since we were not in the house at all - but I was pooped.  So I was in bed by 830 and out by 835.

I have a busy week ahead of me with a ton of housework, I have a company coming in to get our air ducts cleaned and I need to get some bills paid.  I cant find my planner so that is quite obnoxious - but alas, need to get my ass organized.

Hope you all have a great week!

Girls Weekend

I was first contemplating on going because Vincent got a last minute fever.  Mike and I both agreed it was probably brought on by three teeth coming in at once, one being a molar.  I was stressed.  I was burnt out.  I was a little a lot on edge and I needed some time away.  So, I went.  And boy and I glad I did! I had such an amazing time.

We left around 8:45ish AM.  A quick pit stop for a starbucks and we were on the road.  It took about 2 1/2 hours to get there and the traffic was fine.  We had lunch at an adorable little café called Crane In The City.

After lunch we perused some of the stores and window shopped.  We even went into a bridal boutique to have Courtney try on some wedding dresses.  She is going to be a very pretty bride!

We then headed to the beach.  MI is usually sweltering in the summer, especially at the end of July.  So it was kind of surprising how un-seasonably COLD it was.  We didn’t swim – in fact we weren’t allowed too – because of how windy and choppy the waves were! We still had a good time at the beach and ended up getting some amazing pics.

After our adventure at the beach.  We headed back to the hotel for a quick swim at the pool – we wanted to get SOME use out of our suits! After swimming we headed to Theodores for a nice dinner.  The place was in a refurbished/remodeled factory.  It was SO cool!

After dinner we grabbed some ice cream and headed back to the beach to see the waves rolling in and the clouds floating by.  How romantic.

We came back to the hotel, had a cocktail, chit chatted a bit than promptly fell asleep!

We slept in – how glorious! And packed up our bags to head out.  But first we needed some grub! We originally wanted to go to the Biscuit but it was over an hour wait so we ended up at the windmill.  It was delish.  After breakfast we got another Starbucks for the road and we were on our way home.
