My Favorite Thing About Labor Day is Not Laboring

I finally got my Labor Day pictures online! So, let me tell you about my wonderfully fun weekend...

On Friday night, Cory and I went to the Art Museum (one of Toledo's charms) with Shayna and Sproles to see the Andy Warhol exhibit. I discovered Andy Warhol is quite quoteable. One of my favorites: "An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have but that he- for some reason- thinks it would be a good idea to give them." After the museum, the four of us headed to a fun little dive bar called The Tropics, where I had an extremely delicious fuzzy navel.

On Saturday, I went out to breakfast with my mom and Grandma. We went to Old Schoolhouse Commons, which is actually an old schoolhouse converted into small shops and a restaurant. Afterward Cory and I rode the UT Bike Trail (another Toledo charm), stopping in at Wildwood Metropark (my favorite Toledo place) for more riding fun.

Later that night, a bunch of us remembered it was our friend Nate's birthday, so we went out to Andrea's Sports Bar. Not my favorite place, but a good time, nonetheless. If Stuart and Kyle ever manage to remember any of the evening, I'm sure they'd agree.

Sunday, my mom and I attempted to hang out with my aunt, who was in town from DC, but no dice. Instead, we spent some time lounging around my Grandpa's yard, visiting, then went for a walk at Wildwood. Cory, Stu, Bobby and I later had my sister, her friend, and Shayna over for way too many beers and drunk babbling, courtesy of Erin. If you ever want to hear embarrassing stories about me, just give me about 4 beers and wait 2 minutes.

Monday morning I was awakened bright and early by the lovely Miss Angel, and went to meet her and her boyfriend, Dustin, at my very first place of employment, the Original Pancake House. We later met my mom at Wildwood for a sweaty but lovely walk through the park, followed by ice cream.

Later that evening, Cory, my sister Lauren, and I went up to the Pub where Lauren and our other sister Kyle work, to keep Kyle company on a non-busy Monday evening. And speaking of Lauren, isn't she just lovely?

All in all, a quality 3 day weekend. Thanks, everyone, for so many good times!
