Howdy!
I mean, hello :]
How was your weekend? I hope it was lovely and filled with people you love. This was another “first” for me and Zack — spending Memorial Day away from family. We made it through by planning lots of fun things over the weekend.
I think our favorite day was yesterday. We slept in and drove to Lake Calhoun where we rented bikes! Yeow! We both l-o-v-e-d it!!! The weather was absolutely gorgeous — the sky was blue, it was warm {+ no humidity!}, there was a little breeze. Plus, we are totally in-love with each other. See, I could go on and on…
While we were looking for a spot to park I took a few pics with my phone. I can see the Minneapolis sky-line, can you?
We were going to rent a tandem but they are still being “tuned” for the season. Darn, we’ll have to come back. Instead we rented two cruisers! Mid-way through our 3.2 mile bike-ride we stopped for some hot dogs. Yum, yum!
{That’s right, my hot dog has a pickle, a few slices of tomato, and some yellow peppers on it. I gave Z the latter two. Hah!}
The lake was filled with thousands of people. Ahhh! We loved it so much! It seemed like everyone that stayed around town for the weekend was here at Lake Calhoun. Everyone and their cute little dog :]
I know we’ll be back another weekend. There is so many fun things to do: walk the trail, swim, have a cook-out, rent a canoe or paddle boat. RENT A TANDEM! We’re totally doing that soon :]
PS. Look at this pic:
We saw this little door in a tree on the way back to our car. Isn’t it so cute? The door is screwed to a hinge on the tree, and there is a note inside along with a red baseball cap. I can’t help but wonder about the kids that play with this and all the fun they have… I love it! :]
So fun! I’ve always wanted to try a tandem bike…maybe the sweetheart and I will have to give it a shot sometime in the future. ;)
Um, something sweet about my weekend? Chocolate cake. I baked 8 layers-worth yesterday! {for a bridal shower I’m hosting tonight.}
FANTASTIC pics!!!! I really enjoyed the post! I spent the weekend doing house/yard work with hints of sewing! LOL! XO
I love your photos, you two are so cute! We didn’t do much this weekend, cleaning, yard work…you know all that fun stuff! I did go on a bike ride with my daughter, last week was the first time I have ridden a bike in over 20 years…wow, that makes me sound old doesn’t it!?! Well, I am glad to hear that your weekend was great, I hope that you week is even better!! Have a great day Maggie!

what a fun weekend!! D and I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary this weekend because I worked half of it but it was nice to go out to breakfast and take our puppy for a long walk around the block and then make dinner together. I love making dinner together!

Ooooh, I went to an antique mall and bought the prettiest vintage curtain….am going to make a skirt, at least, with it! :)
Sounds like you had a great weekend! My family were camping nearby so we visited them and had a great time with my nieces! Was so much fun!

so fun! that tree — that is the cutest thing i have ever seen. love it! happy tues!
awww…yall are so cute! we went on our annual camping trip to the Outer Banks of NC. we’ve been doing it for the past 6 years and meet up with the same family every year. everyone looks so forward to it. my fav was making a fire on the beach, one night, and roasting marshmallows for smores!
My husband, BJ went all out on dinner. He grilled bratwursts, shrimp, cut up some green peppers, pineapple, and yellow squash, also had corn on the cob. I made a strawberry pie for the first time and it was very good.We also had pineapple margaritas too!
How fun!!! I’d love to try a tandem bike– never have! My boyfriend and I just got bikes and have been riding them around for fun + exercise.
I love LOVE, and this post is so sweet.
Hubby and I are celebrating 10 years of marriage on June 9. Seems impossible. We’ve been together 1/3 of my whole life. We spent the weekend playing baseball with our boys at a near-desolate but beautiful arboretum. It was the perfect holiday.
I hope that feeling only grows with each year of your marriage, too.

I grew up swimming in various lakes around my hometown and this weekend, for the very first time, Chad and I took our babies out on a boat and swam in the lake with them. They loved it and so did I! Perfect memories.
Oh…and the girls’ night out for my birthday Sunday night wasn’t too shabby either. Six friends joined me for dinner at Cheesecake Factory and that was followed by a free show at a little bar in my sweet home of Music City. ;) SO MUCH FUN.
Your weekend looked like tons of fun!! I, unfortunately, had to work. Bleck. BUT it did help that when I came home, my I had left over grilled hot dogs and goodies from the fam’s earlier cook-out.
that looks like so much fun!! chicago dogs are my favorite! and those bikes are sweeeet.
Your weekend sounds amazing – I wish mine was a sweet and fun – although I did get all the laundry in my house done – which is quite a feat considering there are 6 of us!
loved all of the pictures, especially the one of the tree with the little door. good find:)
i love reading about your sweet life and the amazing love you share with your hubby. i can so relate to that part of you. my hubs is my best friend….makes for a good life, huh???
thanks for sharing!!
I went on a little search to find Z & M treasures, pictures etc. and I FOUND THEM:) YAY, thanks for being so faithful in sharing your lives with us, it always brightens my day! Mom W.
HOW fun! Eat up all those adventures with Z. You will remember them forever. xoxo
