A Flying by the Seat of Our Pants Weekend

Morning, kit kats. How you feeling this DST Monday? I'm dragging but slogging through the day. It is going to be so nice having more sunshine in the evening, I can't wait for the extra few hours of sun. This weekend was quite busy as Le Husband and I threw a quick weekend trip together to watch his college baseball team play. We had a great time together even though there were a few curve balls and I'm glad everything worked out as well as it did. 

This weekend I…

… reveled in the gorgeous weather with the sunroof open on my drive home from work. 

… scrambled home to meet le Husband as we drove out west to watch his college team play at Radford.

… was extremely lucky in missing traffic, PTL.

… decided to stop at Chick Fil-A for dinner and yes, I drank another milkshake. #oops

… flew by the seat of our pants when we realized all of the hotels in Radford were booked due to a tournament. Cheers to using Marriott points and finding a fabulous hotel 30 minutes away. #ilovekingbeds

… woke up super early to headed out on a four mile hike in the Appalachian mountains. 

… enjoyed the early morning birds and scenery on Dragon's Tooth. 

… was blown away by the beauty of Appalachia. #ilovehiking.

… swiped this picture of my honey at the peak of the mountain. #lovehimso

… stopped at the best barbecue place in Virginia and housed a whole chicken. #Lehusbandhelped

… got squirreled at the fun store next to the restaurant and bought my FABULOUS new felt hat!

… finally made it to the field to watch the flashes win 10-9. #funending #waytokeepitinteresting

… loved hanging out in the sun with my best guy.

… checked into another hotel closer to the team and changed to meet up with a former teammate of Le Husband.

… ate a fantastic dinner while listening to baseball boys talk about the past and baseball. #sonotsoccer

… passed out after a super long day full of fun. 

… slept in before getting up and heading to the field for an earlier than anticipated start due to weather. 

… talked with coaches, grabbed a snack and then watch the Flashes take it to the Highlanders. 

… walked away in the fifth inning due to the rain and my six pm soccer game.

… stopped at the bbq place for lunch then drove four hours in the rain to make it to my game on time. 

… played in my LAST INDOOR GAME with my team. It was the ending of a seven year era and was a bit bittersweet. Thankfully we won even though I didn't play my best game and it was fun celebrating with my teammates.  Le Husband and my parents came to watch me play and it was kind of surreal when it was all over. #hasitreallybeensevenyears

… went out to dinner with teammates, drank a HORRIBLE glass of wine and toasted a great indoor career.

… came home, unpacked, prepped my BODYPUMP list and finished my blog posts for today. 

I hope y'all have a great Monday, please send me some good vibes as I'm running on very little sleep due to our trip and DST. Five am is early enough, but when it feels like four am, WOOF! Make the most of the day you've been given, friends!  See you tomorrow with a fitness post.
