I came, I saw, I recapped....late.

I've been missing for a few days?? Didja notice? Eh, no hard feelings. We had an incredibly busy week/weekend but it was lots and lots of fun and I can't leave you out of it. 

Thursday and Friday I was at a Technology Conference for teachers in Ocean City. I know, hard work, huh? I actually love conferences. And...it's not just for the free hotel room and reimbursement for food. I love learning new crap to do with my kids. And I got so much information this time!! Now...wish me luck because I'm going to talk to my principal and ask for a class set of iPads for my tech room. haha. Fingers crossed!! So, I dragged Mike along for this one because I really had a ton of down time and I mean, duh....again, free hotel room. It's kinda like a free vacation!!

Thursday after our first set of sessions, we headed to the 45th St. Taphouse and ordered some flights. We may be flight addicts. I mean what better way to get to try out new beers?? And, a lot of the places we live around are just starting to get into serving flights, too. Yay!! I think sometimes I take where we live for granted. It's so gorgeous here. I mean not many people have the opportunity to go sit at a bar right on the water whenever they feel like it. It's my favorite thing in the world!! Beers and beaches!

We may or may not have gotten a few beers each, and then a few crushes each after our 2 flights. And we may or may not have bought some vodka and took a few shots on our way to the boardwalk. Oh, and we may or may not have sat in the makeshift bar/conference room at our hotel and had a few $2 "rail" which was actually Grey Goose dranks before heading to our room. Yeah, I may or may not have been shwasted before we even got into the rest of the vodka. 

Oh!! And it was Springfest at the boardwalk so Mike even sucked it up and walked through the vendors with me. I was really proud of him. He hates crafts and craft show type stuff so I knew he would say no....but he surprised me!! And he even bought me an Orioles tank!! 

Friday when we got home there was a whole lot of this. Sleep!! This is Boost's favorite spot now. On my bottom pillow. But I think it's kinda cute and last night he looked just like a groundhog with his front legs tucked up under his chin. Too cute!!

Saturday we were back at the track for Streetcar Shootout. Mike did really awesome and I was super proud of him. He wasn't as pleased as he wanted to be but I think he did great. He runs Ultra Street which is actually a Pro class. His first run he went the 1/8 mile in 5.87 seconds. Second run was 5.84 seconds, and the last run he ran 5.80. So he progressed each run and, although he wanted to run 5.7's I think he did awesome!!

Sunday we got up and started some yard work. I cut the grass and Mike weed-eated around the house. We cleaned out the garage and then cleaned up the house a bit. And that coupled with the rest of our long weekend resulted in some good 'ole naptime...again.

I told you we love naps!!

How was your weekend? 

V-Day Weekend Shenanies!!

My weekend officially started on Thursday last week!! Whoop Whoop!! And we had off today so I had a 5 day weekend!! Mike and I had planned on going to Ocean City for our Valentine's getaway. We usually do it every year, but weren't sure we were going to get to this year. But we had 2 snow days last week so I didn't even have to take a day off and we couldn't beat the deal!!

The Holiday Inn Oceanfront does an amazing deal. $106 for a jacuzzi suite and that includes a $50 voucher for their restaurant called Hemmingways. Can't beat that!! The food is always amazeballs and we take a nice soak in the tub with some dranks and just relax. Last year we found an awesome taphouse but it wasn't open when we were there. Luckily, this year they were open so we headed there first for some beer flights and appetizers.

We stopped on the way back to the hotel for some Dogfish Head Vodka. If you have heard of Dogfish Head you probably have only heard of their beers. Well, they make liquor, too!! I think it's only sold around the Rehobeth area, however, because we've never seen it anywhere else. It's soo delish, though!!

After we made a few dranks and soaked in the tub for a while we started to get ready for dinner. Hemmingway's is a really nice restaurant, plus it's V-Day so we dressed up a little. Mike had the filet and I got Chicken Chesapeake, both of which were so amazing. The filet just melted in your mouth and there was so much crab meat on my Chicken Chesapeake. YUM!!

We took dessert back up to the room and stayed in. Mike is so obsessed with the Olympics. haha. I don't ever remember him being this bad. And it's not just the manly sports. We're sitting here watching figure skating as I type. lol. So we sat around, drank, watched the Olympics and ate Fritos all night long. lol.

Needless to say i was a tad bit hungover the next morning but we walked to our favorite breakfast joint and got some sausage, egg, and cheese bagels. YUM!!! Then, we took a quick stroll on the Boardwalk and played some Big Buck Hunt. I beat Mike, naturally. At everything. Except Skee-ball. 

We eventually went on our way home and met Mike's uncle and his wife for lunch and a few beers in Rehobeth on the way. It was all I could do to keep my eyes open on that hour long drive after a belly full of good food and beer but...that sweet soft bed when we got home was well worth the wait!!

Except for the fact that a migraine kicked in and I couldn't shake it, nor could I fall asleep. haha. Figures. lol. 

Saturday was another success. We went to the gym and I worked it out. I'm still in a ton of pain. I actually didn't feel like I got in a great workout but....I pretty much can't walk today so...I guess it worked. Then, we met up with some friends for an unexpected epic night. haha. Those are the best. We were heading to a local bar and stopped by to pick up our friend Jason. His friend had called him and we met up with her for a drink at another bar, which lead us to a bar down the street from that. When they closed we got to our original destination and that might be where it starts getting a little broken. We ended up going back to Jason's house where he and Mike got in a wrestling match and his girlfriend and I talked about god knows what for the remainder of the night. I think Mike and I are still piecing everything together. lol. 

But it was fun!! 

Until yesterday.....
