memorial day weekend.

i'm only off work one weekend a month. this month it just so happens i was off memorial day weekend! (i am currently at work right now since actual memorial day is one of my mandatory holidays to work this year.) on saturday we lazed around and got absolutely nothing accomplished except for making breakfast and lunch, napping and going to a party that evening. it was a pretty good time. we had woodchuck summer cider for the first time and found that it goes down quickly. the food was delicious, especially the ribs.

sunday we went to SOWEBO arts festival. JT and i really wanted to take corbin but he has skin issues which then cause him days of limping/pain so he had to sit this one out. we went with our friends kasey and kurt. it is only a block from our office so parking is always convenient. we wandered around and it was HOT outside. we visited my friend's booth and i checked on my set of prints i've wanted for over a year. they're still there. (yes, i know about the concept of RE-printing haha) we broke all the rules and brought coolers and beer. i wandered around with my plastic cup full of boh without any issues. i wouldn't be forced into breaking the law if they'd just serve natty boh there. this is baltimore, after all. there was so much delicious food but it was almost too hot outside to partake in anything. almost.
fried oreos. my 2nd time, JT's first.

while walking around in the ridiculous heat, JT suggested we go swimming. it was entirely too hot to hang out there all day like i'd originally hoped so and kasey and kurt bailed a bit early which i totally understand, so we headed over to my parents for a last minute cookout. we went swimming in the bay for the first time this year. we had two chesapeake bay retrievers join us, too. i also had my first snowball of the year. then i made the mistake of laying out in the sun for a wee bit too long and my legs are sunburned for the first time in years. i drank some more beer and we had burgers and hot dogs. 
our view for the better part of the day.
