How To Turn Your Weekend From Bad To Good {+ A Video!}

or....how-to turn your weekend around when it seems like it's going to fail.

First things first. I hope all of you had an awesome weekend!

I would be lying if I said my weekend started off on the right foot. In fact, it started off pretttyyyyy bad. Real bad. To make a long story (and I mean really long) short, we traveled to Cleveland on Friday for a surprise birthday party for Billy's mom. The normal, easy 2 hour drive took us 5 hours (due to at least 3 different accidents including being at a dead stop for most of it) and we missed the entire surprise. Talk about terrible luck. We didn't get there until 9pm - exhausted, hungry, and disappointed but happy that we were finally out of that fricken car.

This is Rocky's best impression of how we felt...

On a positive note, Billy's mom was so surprised (so I heard-not.bitter) and the party was a lot of fun, you know, once we got there and were able to enjoy it!

Saturday....Saturday....a new day and was so much better.

+We ate lunch out on the patio of a Mexican restaurant (that had some of the best salsa I've ever had-yummo)....

+Billy's parents best friend took me on a motorcycle ride....

+I even got a chance to relax in my favorite room at their house to watch Shark Week (necessary) and take a nap....

+We ended the evening by sitting 3rd row at the Indians game!

Success...

 

Billy's parents best friend (same one with the motorcycle), Wayne and his family have tickets 3 rows behind the Indians dugout, so to say our seats were awesome is an understatement. They were amazing!

Definitely the best seats I've ever had at an MLB game, look at this view:

Once the Indians lost the game was over, they set up for Rock N Blast, which is a one time per year firework show that they put on for the fans at the stadium. Billy and I have never seen Rock n Blast before, and we imagined it would just be a 5 minute firework show or something...we were so wrong.

This was one of the longest and best fireworks show I've ever seen! It lasted about 30 minutes and the fireworks went around the whole stadium.

I even took a short video to show you....

Some of the best, right?!

and if you aren't into videos (but you should be! go watch it!), here's some of the firework show via pics!

Sunday. another happy day and we hit no traffic on our way home. I mean unless you call stopping at the outlet mall traffic..and I definitely don't. ;)

We took a bike ride in the morning and went to visit some horse (instant happiness) stables that are by Billy's parents neighborhood and Rocky got to meet his first horse. Actually, he met a bunch of them...

It was hysterical. That gray horse? MASSIVE. He was so huge that Rocky's head was literally the size of his nostrils. I'm sure he was wondering if Rocky was on the menu for dinner later that night. Sorry horse, keep yo distance.

Sidenote: I will own a horse one day. It's going to happen.

I also found these awesome picture rail hooks to use for any upcoming house projects that we have. I know they will come in handy this Fall! Hint: We are getting back into some exciting projects in a couple month so stay tuned! :)

How was your weekend?
