4th of July Plans?

[sitnspin]

Let's just jump into the weekend!  What are you up to?

[OrangePixyStix]

Friday is our observed holiday, and I think that will be the day I actually go pick out a smart phone.  Who am I becoming!?  lol

There's a friend's bday party going on that night so we'll be heading out to their house for some birthday shenanigans.

On Saturday my new company is having their 4th of July party that they do every year, it includes some clients, staff & family/friends.   The building location is perfect for watching the downtown fireworks (which I haven't seen in years), so we figured we'd come and check it out since it's open bar (plus the catering is going to be SO GOOD).  It ends around 10 so we'll be stopping by my cousin's house afterwards for more partying when the main fireworks show is over.

Probably relaxing the rest of the time.

Fun!!  Open bar is never a bad thing.

The courts are closed on Friday, so I get the day off!!  Myname is coming to town for a concert, so I am sure we will hook up at some point.  

Saturday I am running a 4 mile race with a bunch of folks from the studio.  We finish and run immediately to the nearest bar that is open (it will be 10am).  We are headed to my BIL's for a bbq with most of Jerry's family.  

Sunday we will probably go to the pool and then we have a bbq at Jerry's cousins house.

Friday, we're technically celebrating my birthday, but it's the holiday weekend. We're going to see our favorite Texas country duo in Dallas at a restored art deco theater. H splurged on a VIP table, so my brother and his wife will be joining us. I have the whole day off, so I want to go early and do some window shopping.

Saturday, we're coming home and having our work BFFs and my sister and her family over for burgers and to watch the city fireworks show which can be seen conveniently from our front yard.

I have to work 7-5 but am then going to a family bbq that will probably be more annoying then fun.

Have an extra drink and try  not to roll your eyes too much, lol.

We are heading back up to the Chalet either Thursday night or Friday morning (3rd week in a row I'll be making that trip!)
We are meeting my mom, step-dad, sister and 2 or 3 of her kids.

The next town over has a nice fireworks show over the lake. So the weekend will just consist of fireworks, hanging at the lake, BBQing and copious amounts of alcohol. I need to drink through all the beer we have left-over from our GTG.

Challenge accepted!

Thursday my office closes at 2 and we're closed Friday. S and I are going up to Syracuse for the long weekend and staying with his aunt and uncle. One of his cousins will be there with her boyfriend, too, so we're all planning to golf at least one day and go out on the boat another day - fingers crossed the weather cooperates.

There's a rumor we will close early on Thursday, but that's not a huge deal to me. We're off on Friday and DH was supposed to be off but now they're working and I'm pissed.

We're supposed to go up north with my family but I don't know if I'm going to take the dog and go up without him/have DH drive separately or if I'll just wait. Thankfully, the weather is looking nice. I just want to swim, relax, and drink!

Fingers crossed that your DH can have the day off!

H gets Thurs and Fri off but has to work until 6 on the 4th. I think Thursday we are going to take Rox to a new (to us) state park and do some hiking. 

Friday H and I want to do a long hike just ourselves. One of those days we want to try out a new place for breakfast. Sprinkle in some yard work too. Friday night, we'll probably go to one of the fireworks shows our city does a day early.

On the actual 4th, I plan on reading and drinking on my patio. Once H is home, we are grilling out, doing some sparklers in our yard, then drinking wine and watching the illegal fireworks our neighbors shoot off. I am not battling the crowds downtown and my dog is scared of being alone for fireworks anyway.

Make sure to tell someone where you are hiking. I learned that the hard way!

Probably a housewarming party/game day.. thing..

Yeah, did you move?

[MyName]

Thursday we are leaving early, probably 2-3pm. I'm going to meet a friend for drinks and then take the train to CT and drive up to my parents' house. Friday my sister, brother, his gf and I will heading up to Saratoga to see DMB. Hoping to see sitnspin, but we will probably end up getting there too late to meet up (change of plans with my brother, sorry!).

Saturday we are getting up early and driving back to CT. We're having a cookout at my parents' house, so that's always fun. I'm sure it will be followed by a fire and bunch of beers, as usual. Sunday I don't have any specific plans, probably just hang out at my parents' house for the day, maybe hit up some wineries with my sister. Not sure if I'll drive back Sunday night or Monday morning.

Uh oh that doesn't sound good.

We are really diligent about this. I go hiking solo pretty much every weekday and I always text H when I get there and when I'm back in my car. If we are both going together, we mention it to a family member ahead of time.

No worries!  If you have time for a beer, cool. If not, don't even worry about it!!  Have fun in SS!!

The only plans we have for sure are on the 4th. Were going to a festival and fireworks celebration in my hometown. Its only about 30 minutes from where we live.

Otherwise, I just plan on relaxing around the house and hitting up the pool.

Sounds like perfection!

Thursday - The office is closing early on Thursday so I'm going to head to my friends house and have a girl day. Hair masks, face masks, nails, and cocktails.

Friday - I'm not sure what the plans are. H has to work and I don't know what time he'll get off. We might go to my boss' house to see some fireworks.

Saturday - We're heading to my brother's house and having a party with fireworks.

Sunday - Chillin' out. Maybe. Haha H finished my office so now I'm in decorating mode.

Sounds like a fun 4 days!

Ok, I'll text you! I just switched our reservation to the Hilton Garden Inn, so we'll be a lot closer now.

Yeah, otherwise, you would have been a good 10-15 minutes away and would have to travel on a major highway to get here.

Yep, which is why I made sure it was refundable when I booked it.   I think a lot of the closer hotels had on 2-night minimums when I booked, but not anymore. Yay!

[alabasterangel]

No! We did not move.. our close friends just bought their first house together.
