We had a lovely busy weekend. 3 days off was blissful. We had lots to do but we got a lot of rest and relaxation time in. On Friday night, my sister and I took my mom out for dinner at Devil’s Food, an upscaled kind of home-cooking place. It was wonderful and I’d love to go back any time!
Saturday we got up and got going right away. We bribed the kids with donuts and took them on a hike.
There was a little whining, but it was one of our best hikes to date. We saw some gorgeous wildflowers, including what I think are wild irises – which I’d never seen before. The kids did great and Loki got a swim. What more can you ask for?
We had lunch and did some errands and then I took Tabby to a b’day party for one of her friends.
After the b’day party, I went home to finally shower and then I took off to have dinner and a lovely night out with my girlfriends while Matt hosted their husbands and kids. We were all up late!!
Sunday was more errands and naps, followed by a graduation party for 3 (!!) of my cousins.
Monday morning I set out on my first triathalon training session with my training buddy. We did a 750m swim (less than 20 min) and a 9 mi bike ride (about 45 min). Not too shabby.
We did some shopping (we need a new mattress) and a cookout and a bike ride and a little strawberry shortcake. And the weekend was done.
Sounds like a great weekend.
