Long Weekends are Beautiful

I couldn't be more thankful for having an extra day this weekend. I always say we really need 3 days in our weekends... 1 day to have fun, 1 day to get stuff done, and 1 day to relax. Because what usually ends up happening is I have fun and get stuff done, but I never have time to relax which is no bueno.

On Friday I gave a small taste of the Linkin Park concert on Thursday night which was amazing. Orlando was the first stop on their tour, so if you're hoping to see them check out their schedule as they may be coming to a city near you! Of Mice and Men open up the show, and Rise Against takes the stage before Linkin Park.

Friday was bittersweet for me as it was the last day of my Disney annual pass. I say bittersweet because as amazing and as magical of a year as it's been visiting the parks whenever my heart desired, I'm exhausted! And even though the passes allow you into the parks without paying the outrageously overpriced entry fee, you still end up dropping a crap load of money each time on food, drinks, and gas to get down there. My wallet and my schedule are thanking me that the crazy year is over, but I will really miss heading to the house of mouse whenever I want.

I donned my sparkly Minnie ears one last time and capped off the year at Epcot with fast passes for Test Track for one last exhilarating ride before heading over to the aquarium to say hello to the manatees and beautiful fish. Then it was off to the World Showcase for one more limoncello in Italy and slushie in France (my favorites).

*The look of "Really? $9 for this tiny shot of limoncello?!"*

Saturday, I offered to cook dinner and bring it over for my fav new momma as I'm sure she's exhausted and doesn't have much time for home-cooked meals lately. I prepared my homemade baked mac and cheese and a salad to bring over to enjoy a movie night in their amazing home theater. Of course a Harry Potter marathon was on the agenda *always*. I can't believe how big their little man is already getting, and he's keeping his eyes open more and making the cutest baby coos.

Sunday was made for a nice breakfast on the patio and reading by the pool. Absolutely gorgeous and relaxing day...

Well... unless you're a Packers fan...my silly brother and cousin each sent me a pic of themselves in their game gear. Poor cheeseheads...
