Whirlwind Weekend

Most weekends Jason, Elise, and I spend at home or make the occasional trip up to Amarillo. Nothing too special.  If Elise goes to spend the night with her Nana & Grandpa, Jason and I will go to dinner or a movie and call it a night.

This past weekend, Elise spent 2 nights over there.  Friday AND Saturday.  Since we had 2 nights and 1 FULL day to spend baby free we decided to GO BIG OR GO HOME!

Friday night we went up to Amarillo and ran by the mall for a bit.  Then we headed up to our new favorite hot spot, the Texas Firehouse to have a couple of drinks.  After that, it was off to the Japanese steak house for sushi and tons of food.  As if that wasn't enough, we came back to town and met some friends at the only place in town that serves alcohol for a few beers.  We were home by 1am.

Friday night we made some plans with some friends of ours to go hiking out at Palo Duro Canyon on Saturday.  We were up and getting ready by 9am.  We went to Subway to get some sandwiches to take out there with us, packed up all of our gear, and the four of us headed out.  We did the 6 mile round trip trail and it took most of the day.  We were back at the house at 4pm, showered and cleaned up, and back out the door again by 5:30pm to meet them for dinner and then a movie.  By the time the movie was over, the four of us were absolutely exhausted!  We couldn't wait to get home and go to bed!

We were up the next morning at 8:30am to meet to get Elise, who looked like she just as tired as we were.

Jason and I went from doing nothing on the weekend to doing EVERYTHING all at once!  Our Visa took a beating, but if you can't run with the big dogs you gotta stay chained to the porch.  Looks like I'm staying chained to the porch the rest of the week.
