So yesterday was a nice treat. I had to help out a coworker by taking her to a meeting in Williamsburg. I had just planned on running a few mundane errands and then maybe treating myself to a trip to the Prime Outlets while I waited for her meeting to end. Well my sweet P decided on Wednesday evening that he wanted to accompany me. I was more than happy to take him along, especially because P and I rarely see each other during the week (understatement of the century!). After we dropped off the coworker we decided to make an impromptu trip to Busch Gardens. I felt like I was 10 again when your mom lets you skip school to do something way cooler. We lucked out in that the lines were super short (only 10min wait to get on the Griffin!) and the weather was absolutely perfect! The sunshine was a little bright going up those steep inclines but luckily it went by so quickly our little ginger butts didn't get sunburned.
After a few fun roller coaster rides we made a stop by Williamsburg Alewerks to stock up our basement beer collection. Mmmm... I figured a taste of a beer wouldn't constitute breaking my "no beer until October" rule. After that we were off to the Prime Outlets! I immediately headed for the Gap while P went looking for some shoes. Turns out what he found was a Ben & Jerry's. He didn't bother telling me that he enjoyed some delicious ice cream without me, I found out because he was wearing part of it on his t-shirt! Oh well, I guess I am better off considering I never made it to the gym yesterday.
After a day of riding roller coasters and finding super deals at the Gap we had to return to the daily routine of domestication. P left for work and I got rid of the last few boxes in the office. After that, and a viewing of Juno, I moved on to touching up the trim in the bedroom. A very tedious task but I found that I enjoy that more than painting the whole wall. Also, Coneheads was on, c'mon you can't beat that! All in all I am going to go ahead and vote yesterday as the best day this week (and it's not even the weekend!) Thanks P for a great day of playing hookey!
Tomorrow I am heading back to my hometown of Waynesboro. It's my dads birthday and I am preparing the meal. Hopefully, when I return there will be pics of the deliciousness that I made!
Have a fun (and safe) weekend!

OMG! Williamsburg Alewerks is just plain awesome! You can buy a 2 liter growler there and get it refilled on the cheap at other microbrewies such as Richbrau here in Richmond! Also, Williamsburg Alewerks is hosting their beer dinner this sunday at Avenue 805 Restaraunt here in Richmond! Six of their beers and five courses for like 38 bucks!
They are pretty tasty, I agree. We have a growler from Richbrau and we had that in tow. I think the choice of the day for the growler ended up being the porter. I stocked up on a couple of Springhouse Ales. I am looking forward to going back and checking out their pumpkin beer! Sadly, we were out of town this Sunday, but we will certainly try to catch the next dinner. It's a shame because we really enjoy Ave 805 as well!
