I know that the weekend seems like it was so long ago, but I was lucky enough to have a bit of an extended weekend. The reason for the extended weekend wasn't for fun, but we did make the most of it.
This is was the first weekend we decided to invite our friends over for a grill out and bonfire. The food consisted of your grilling staples- hotdogs and hamburgers. Also we had a veggie tray, different types of salads, and chips & dip. For the bonfire we had plenty of brush to burn.
We have been working on cleaning up our yard, so a fire seemed like the best way to get rid of the unwanted wood. The night consisted of friends, drinks, and stories- I call that a good night in my books.
In true friend fashion, if you do something stupid there will be pictures taken and shared. I guess the bathroom floor looked like a good place to take a nap. He did make it to a bed, it just took a little while.
The next day, Sam and I got up and headed to Michigan for the night. My grandma was in the hospital and we wanted to visit her. (She is now home and doing better.) I hate doing day trips to Michigan, so we decide to make the most of trip and spend the night.
After our visit with my grandma, we decided to get dinner with my cousin and her husband-to-be. We went to some small local bar, but it was kind of a cool place.
It's hard to tell from the picture- but there were hundreds of beer mugs hanging on the walls and ceiling. It's a cool idea (if your a local and will go to this bar a lot)- you buy a mug (cost $46), and you are the only person who gets to use the mug but the mugs are 4oz big then a normal pint. You pay the normal price for a beer, but you earn punches on your "Mug Club card" and every 6th drink, you only pay $.50. It's pretty cool idea, and you know who the regulars are because they drinking from a mug.
After we visited with my grandma one more time the next morning, Sam and I headed home. The end of our weekend came with another big purchase for the house.
A giant TV! (Giant meaning 55 inches.) This was really a Sam "want" for the house. After talking about getting another TV for a few weeks now, I caved and brought this TV. All I got to say is that this TV better last a while, because we aren't buying another anytime soon. Also, I have a feeling we'll be watching a lot of football games with friends around this TV.
All in all- it was a good weekend spent with great people!
