Let me start off by saying that this Fourth of July weekend was one of the best ones in recent history. I think with Fourth of July being on a Friday this year really helped. I get 'long' weekend every other weekend so the fact I had a three-day weekend didn't mean a whole lot, but the fact everyone else in the world also got that three-day weekend just made it that much better.
Thanks to my work letting me out 59 minutes early (woohoo) I got home a bit early and was able to just chill out. Around 6:30, Dan and I (along with my cousin Ben) headed up to Stacked to meet Dan's sister, Amanda and her fiance, Lou, for dinner. Stacked is a delicious burger joint. We were able to score a table on the patio out front which was amazing since the weather was so freaking beautiful over the weekend. We had some beers and burgers and enjoyed each other's company.
My burger - this time I got cheddar cheese, grilled pineapple, breaded jalapenos and bbq sauce |
On Friday I spent a good part of the day just relaxing around the house. In the morning I ran to the grocery store to make party potatoes for Susan's get together later that evening. I let Dan sleep in (he normally does NOT sleep in, but he slept until around 10am when I woke him up with breakfast)
That evening I picked up Michelle and we went to Susan's house for a barbecue/party. It was a lot of fun, and with the weather being so amazing just added to that. They had a lot of food and drinks. It was a really nice time. Their house overlooks New Town in St. Charles and out there everything is legal, so we had a good view of a bunch of people shooting off their own fireworks. While it was chaotic a bit, it was a really neat experience. We stayed there until semi-late and then headed back home.
My hair actually looked good curly (natural) I should have gotten a pic with Susan too... hindsight yo! |
There was glow sticks! |
I just realized you can see my arm taking the selfie in Dan's glasses. |
Sunday was mostly a relaxation day... and felt so good. Dan and I both took naps... and it was oh so glorious.
Sadly though all that outside time did quite the number on my feet... stupid mosquitos...
