Sequins and Sea Breezes: Weekending

Weekending

9/21/2015


Happy Monday loves! Does anyone else feel like they need a coffee this sized to get the day going? I am so not ready to start another week. Weekends go by way too quickly in my opinion. I'm hoping my week won't be as busy this week as it was last week but we shall see. Just as a warning, this post is going to be photo heavy since I took a lot of pics this weekend. And let's just already call this the weekend of Pam and Kerri since we spent most of it together. Ok, let's get right into it! Linking up with my girl, Biana, for our weekend recap!

Melting Pot Yin & Yang

Ok, so technically this was Thursday night but it was too good not to share. If you are ever looking for the most amazing dessert ever, I highly recommend the Yin & Yang from The Melting Pot. OMG. I was seriously in heaven eating this. And I'm not really much of a chocolate fan but this was perfection. 

Friday night was pretty uneventful. I made dinner, relaxed on the couch, watched some tv and read Everybody Rise. Still not done with it yet but so far, so good! I also did some cooking for the UCF tailgate on Saturday since it was our first full tailgate of the season.

Saturday I woke up, cleaned a bit then started getting ready to head over to campus. Kerri came out to tailgate with us for someone who shall remain nameless' 30th birthday! Happy birthday again old man ;) We had a blast despite the fact it literally poured. I'm talking straight up downpour. And all we had was this little tent to keep us "dry".

Tailgating at UCF

I use the term dry very loosely since we ended up getting soaked but we had fun playing beer pong during the rain storm. I have to say, Kerri and I definitely need to work on our close out skills since we didn't win a single game. 

UCF Football

Fortunately, or maybe unfortunately, the rain stopped in time for the game and the sun came out. Which of course made it hot, humid and uncomfortable but it's Florida so I guess we're kind of used to it by now. Not really. I have to admit, my team is REALLY struggling this year. Between losing half of our starters last year and being plagued with numerous injuries already in the season, if we win a game this year I'll be happy and surprised.

Kerri and I ended up leaving the game around half time to go to the bar on campus to finish watching my game and to watch Kerri's team, Kentucky, take on the Gators with some air conditioning and Oktoberfest beer (I mean, it was the first day of Oktoberfest, you have to, right?). Guys, don't let her fool you. She's a sports fan. At least when it comes to UK! 

Tailgating at UCF

Sunday we woke up and went to brunch at a spot right by Kerri's house. It's not the best brunch spot but it was free so I can't complain! 

Brunch at Segafredo: Mills Park

After brunch we decided to head over to Brass Tap for "a beer" which turned into three and some football. We definitely got our second wind after brunch and we were enjoying the gorgeous day.

We rounded out the afternoon with some giant Jenga before heading home to finish watching football and relaxing.

Like I said, picture heavy so sorry about that! Hope everyone has an amazing week! I'm already counting down the hours until the weekend....

  5. Tell Kerri I'm sorry that the Gators won...well not really since I'm pretty happy that we are 2-0 :) So glad you had a great weekend, not glad it rained during your tailgate since that was the best time you had at the game! Nothing better than life size jenga on Sunday's! Happy Monday love! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
