Three day weekends really throw me off

Happy Day after Memorial Day! I hope everyone had an absolute blast celebrating their three day weekend and unofficial start to summer! Except for it really confused me (and the rest of blog world, maybe?). Do I post since its still considered the "weekend" and therefore can't write a weekend recap? Will anyone even read a post today? I went back and forth, and obviously decided not to post anything. So without further ado, my Memorial Day weekend:

Friday night we drove down to my parents (which is half way to the beach) to sleep before we headed to Orange Beach on Saturday. So we woke up at the crack of dawn Saturday to head to meet some of Derek's jetski buddies for a day of riding. We started off at the beach, then they went to the boat ramp for a "little while" to do some riding in the bay.

 

A little while turned into three hours of me on a beach by myself with only one bottle of water and some banana chips. Obviously I survived the time by taking selfies, taking leg/ocean shots, and catching up on my twitter feed.

Finally someone came and picked me up on a ski and took me back to the boat ramp where I was able to rehydrate and hang out with everyone. (Don't worry I wasn't really abandoned, I told them I didn't mind laying out alone).

Sunday we went to church with my family, where the choir/high school JROTC put on a good little skit about Memorial Day and it's true meaning. After church, I went to my little brother's baccalaureate service. Sadly, I'm not going to be able to make it to his graduation, so this was the second best thing.

 

I am so incredibly proud of him, he has accomplished so much this year. And we found out last week that he was offered a full-ride scholarship to play baseball (which he accepted) at a college that's less than an hour from me! I'm couldn't be more happy or excited for him.

Monday I actually worked half a day then met Derek at the river. This was the first trip on the river in the "big" boat this year, which is crazy, because last year we were on it every weekend starting in April.

We relaxed and cruised the river all afternoon soaking up the sun (not that I needed anymore), and even found a sunken boat. Which we contemplated towing back but thought better of it. It was the perfect wind down to an awesome weekend. I really kind wish three day weekends were an all the time thing.
