A Relaxing and Fun Weekend!

We had a really great weekend! It was a good mix of relaxing and fun. We didn't really do much that was productive... But I'm sure we'll make up for that next weekend. On Friday night we just hung out at home and watched some movies. We also hung up a few pictures in our kitchen!  This was the only productive thing we did all weekend, but it's something we've been wanting to do for awhile. We got a few posters that we loooooved, and so on Friday we framed them and put them up in our kitchen! They probably don't really "go" with our Yuengling dogs picture that's in there, but we love them so we don't care :)

Here they are! It's a Yosemite one and a Grand Canyon one... and they are both quite beautiful! 

And then here's a picture of them along with the Yuengling dog picture... They don't really go together... but oh well :) We love beer (and dogs), and we love National Parks... so... that's our kitchen! :)

On Saturday morning we took Guinness to the dog park, because we knew the rest of the day was going to be really gross and stormy (yet still like 90+ degrees). After that, we dropped Guinness off at our house, and then went out to breakfast at one of our favorite breakfast spots near our house. Shortly after that, we took a train into Philly to meet up with Timmy at his place! Timmy is leaving in a few weeks to embark on an amazing adventure - He is quitting his job, and is going to travel the world for 3 months or so! We're so excited for him, but we'll miss him a lot too. He's going to have a huge Happy Hour celebration at some point soon, but we wanted to have a day of hanging with him so we could have some quality time. We spent a lot of time hanging at his place, and he'd picked up some cheese, crackers, hummus, and chips along with some drinks for us. We spent a few hours hanging there, and then we walked a few blocks to an AMAZING bar that's right near his house in Philly. It's called Monk's (it's a Belgian bar), and it always has an amazing beer selection and awesome food. We all ordered lunch - Timmy ordered a chicken breast sandwich, I ordered beer-battered chicken strips, and McGee ordered a huge pot of mussels. They're known for their mussels and have like 8 or 10 varieties. And all of you beer-lovers will appreciate that they had Pliny the Elder on draft, so that's what McGee and Timmy ordered! We spent a few more hours hanging out with Timmy in town, and then we took the train back home! 

Monk's! 

This is the bar in the back of the building, where we sat! They also have a bar when you first enter the building. 

This is a weird little light that they had behind the bar! 

 On Sunday we didn't do much at all! We pretty much just relaxed all day. We were going to help McGee's sister move into her new place, but McGee's folks called in the afternoon and said that they didn't need help after all. And we were also going to go to a Philadelphia Union game in the evening (it started at 7pm) but it was such a gross day/evening that we decided to just stay home and relax. Our workweeks have been kicking our butts, so it's been really nice that we've been carving out some time to relax on the weekends!

I hope you all had a great weekend, and I hope your week flies by! I have SO many meeting this week... Booooooooo.
