Originally Posted By iamsally Our weekend started early (Thursday) and ended yesterday. A very dear friend invited us to visit. He put us up in a nice hotel and took us out to dinner Thursday, lunch Friday and breakfast Saturday. We took a beautiful, leisurely drive up the coast which was, unfortunately, interrupted by not one but two vehicle accidents. Highway 1 was closed for hours forcing us to change lunch plans and turn around. All in all a very enjoyable time.

Always fun, but probably not the best way to view a movie for just the sake of the movie. Next weekend my best friend will be visiting, the weekend after that is the annual Independence Day poker game down in LA, the weekend after that is more fun with other friends out of town, the weekend after that I may meet someone at DLR, the weekend after that I might check out a meeting of Friends of the Mouse (if I'm not tired of driving down to LA/OC). Then I get a weekend off when I will have to do laundry and pack for Speed Week which will take up the next two weekends and finally one last summer weekend when we will be getting the kids ready to start back at school! WHEW! My summer is now officially full!

Yep yep! I am indeed a fan, so I loved it - teared up a few times. And MATT who is NOT an MJ fan (didn't even recognize half the music) is now a Cirque fan and at intermission finally apologized profusely for having spent some much time before the show irking me by teasing me about circuses, etc. He, of course, had NO IDEA what he was about to see, but he was FLOORED. And, he even had fun the next night discussing the show and his favorite acts with the people sitting next to us at the show we saw that night after he overheard them talking about it. Anyhow, as for this weekend, I'm going to Vegas! And I'm THIS close to deciding to see a Cirque show one night while I'm there... maybe Ka since I found cheap seats online. I just know it won't be the Elvis one since it's sold out or dark while I'm there, and it won't be Zumanity since Matt won't be with me. heh

I loved that city and I can't wait to return, hopefully next year. My weekend will also include a visit to a casino. On Friday I will visit my parents and meet some friends. On Saturday I will spend most of the time at my parent's pool, since it will be very hot over here. In the evening I will go to the casino with my brother and some friends. On Sunday my girlfriend and I will return to Salzburg, where I will attend the presentation of my favorite soccer team and in the evening we will watch the Euro 2012 final with some friends in a brewery.

Originally Posted By mickeymeg We will be celebrating Canada day ! It will likely include a bbq with friends and lots of time letting the wee ones play.

It should be a lot of fun. Might go to the fireworks, we will see how the littles are doing after a full day.

Originally Posted By tashajilek ^^^ Im getting hungry from your post as i am waiting for dinner LOL. This weekend is Canada day long weekend, so we will do what we do every Canadian long weekend and leave to the States lol. We will be staying tomorrow night in Everett and then the following 2 nights in Seattle. Tomorrow we will be going to out Favorite Casino and probably Saturday we will be trying another Casino we have never been to. I wish it was Las Vegas, but oh well. The weather isnt looking too great and it really sucks seeing as we want to be outside looking around Pike's Market. I keep telling my husband we should move somewhere with nice weather like California where you know there is no chance of rain in July.

Originally Posted By Mary Poppins Still enjoying reading this thread. Yes, it's Happy Birthday to Canada on Sunday. Lots to celebrate with outdoor events. I may go to the Coquitlam celebration.
Originally Posted By dagobert I had a rather boring weekend. We spent Friday evening at a beer garden with some friends and ordered Japanese Food later. Saturday the weather wasn't that good and so we cleaned our apartment. In the evening we watched some movies. On Sunday the weather was fine again and so we went to a nearby lake (where the Red Bull headquarter is located) for swimming. Unfortunately in the afternoon a thunderstorm brought a lot of rain and so we had to return home. I watched the last rounds of the F1 race (Yeah another victory for Red Bull) and we did our laundry.
Originally Posted By Autopia Deb My weekend would have been pretty great, except the hotel room had no AC on our floor (booked solid, no way to change rooms) and coming down with a cold put a damper on things too. Otherwise, our ~30 hours in LA was pretty fun, a short lunch visit with my SiL over Thai food in Hollywood, a poker game with old friends in Northridge and an incredibly filling Sunday brunch in Calabasas. We were surprised at how quaint Calabasas is, especially as it sits right next to the 101 freeway.
