On Friday night I met some friends for a Happy Hour at Pujols 5. I'm really enjoying the concept of happy hour these days, especially at a place like Pujols where things are on the cheaper side. The HH turned into an extended HH, and it was just nice to drink a bit and relax.
On Saturday my mom and I used a Groupon to see the Da Vinci Machines exhibit.
It was really interesting and I got to learn more about DaVinci. I knew that he had invented a lot (and is left handed) but I got to learn a lot more. It's really cool. I wouldn't pay the full price ($14 per person) to get in, but at the Groupon rate (half priced tickets) it was worth it!
After the exhibit we decided to get a snack so we went to The Fountain on Locust. I've been there once before but I think it was my mom first time there. (PS Mom, their website says they were voted best bathroom in America, might have to check that out next time)
We got the standing banana split which is described on their menu as "A tall glass with a bruléed banana and scoops of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream, layered with crushed strawberries and hot fudge. Topped with real whipped cream." It was messy to eat, but totally awesome!
After that little adventure with mom I hung out with my good friend Liz and her fiance. We went to the 1904 Beerhouse in River City casino. I love this place because they have Woodchuck Amber Cider on tap - yum yum!! I also got a pizza which was pretty good, just super cheesy in parts.
On Sunday I spent the day either procrastinating school work or doing school work, then Monday was back to work.
How was your weekend?
