I love long weekends, especially when the city is quiet and there are few set plans.
Memorial Day for me wasn’t too exciting, but it was relaxing, which is exactly what I needed. It also allowed me to slow down, rather than run from one place to another. Sometimes, that rat race gets exhausting.
Some of my favorite parts of the quiet weekend included…..
BEER IN THE SUN (which coincidentally burned my fair skin)
Shopping at Gap where I purchased my first-ever maxi dress looks ridiculously hot on me, IMO
Frozen yogurt (it was hot enough where this was so necessary)
Brunch with friends (zucchini, tomato and cheddar omelette. Yes!)
And a Memorial Day cookout with friends which included sitting in Lincoln Park on a cooler night, eating food off the grill and throwing the football around.
I don’t have a photo of that but it was a perfect evening.
Now, I’m ready for a two-day work week before I jet out of town, not a bad way to ease in to vacation.
What were your favorite parts of the long weekend?
I really love your weekend recap posts! It’s fun to see what others are up to.
Sounds fantastic. And that dress looks amazing!
I spent the weekend in a holiday cottage in the woods with 7 friends. No mobile phone reception, no internet – but lots of (board) games, lying in the sun, barbecuing and tlc.
sounds like the perfect long weekend! and love that maxi dress on you, so cute. i really need to get another one, they’re so fun to wear!
Oooh, I love that dress! And beer. Beer is always a good, too.
