My Memorial Day

on May 30, 2012

The craziest thing happened to me on Memorial Day!

I. DID. NOT. WORK!

This may not sound like a big deal to most people as I am well aware that 99% of people not only do not have to work on Memorial Day but also get a 3 or 4 day weekend. Not me. I work in the hospitality industry where weekends and holidays are “perks” of the job.

Prior to this past Monday, I have worked every Memorial weekend and Memorial Day for at least the past 8 years. This year my super awesome boss decided to work on Memorial Day so I didn’t have to!!! Did I mention how awesome she is? Because of her I had the best Memorial Day ever!

I started my Memorial Day with a 4 mile run that turned into 5 miles. I was trying a new running route and underestimated the distance of the loop. I can ‘t say I minded the extra mile. I was just happy to be running pain-free. At the end of the run I was a hot sweaty smiling mess.

I spent the rest of my day with a few of my favorite people. Including this little guy.

I spent some time at the pool, ate some food, took Brennen to the park & splash pad and ate some more food. It was good times!

I couldn’t have asked for a better day!

How was your Memorial Day?
