Hello Monday

Posted on by jgalvinwhite

Hello (Monday!)

How was your weekend? Ours was really good, but different…we were missing Hadley who’s been away at camp this past week.

We had a mix of fun, productivity, and downtime.

Did you see my Sunday post? It was all about summer movies!

I’m linking up with Sarah and Holly for…

…to recap my…

Friday afternoon was a fun one. I went to summer school for a couple of hours, but I left early to tag along with Trav and Hayden for their road trip to Louisville go to the races at Churchill Downs.

It wasn’t a fancy day at the track, but I still wore a pretty pink dress!

We got there around 1:30 and stayed for a few races. One of Trav’s clients had horses running in two different races, and they were fun to watch.

I usually am just at Churchill on Oaks day, so it felt very different being there with far less people. It was a hot day, but we were mostly inside.

I did get to see the new paddock area up close, and it was really neat to see.

We left around 4:30, went to Trav’s mom’s house for a bit before heading home.

I had some pool time on Saturday. I typically want to work out and run all my errands before doing anything fun, but I knew if I went to the pool earlier in the day, it wouldn’t be as hot, and it would be less crowded. I went from 11-1:30 which was the perfect amount of time.

After the pool, I got Hayden some lunch, did my workout, and then took Hayden to his basketball game.

We’ve been watching a lot of baseball, and Saturday’s walk off win for the “Bat Cats” in the College World Series was an exciting one.

Saturday evening, I read my book and watched the Royals game. They won too.

Travis and Hayden chose dinner on Saturday night, so we went to one of our favorite pizza places. It was a really nice evening to sit on the patio (in the shade)

The best part of the weekend will be being reunited with Hadley since she’s been away at camp this week.

As I type this, her ETA home is 1 am, but I can’t wait to pick her up.

Of course, Sunday was Father’s Day, and that’s something to celebrate! I made Travis breakfast (just the Krusteaz coffee cake and microwave sausage…only the best, for T-rav…haha!), and then he and Hayden went and played 9 holes of golf.

We plan on celebrating him a bit more tonight now that Hadley will be home.

I hope you have a great week!

  1. It sounds like a fun weekend! My husband didn’t even get breakfast; him and my oldest headed out fishing at 5 am and didn’t get back home until nearly lunch time. I did however talk him out of smoking dinner and made some orange chicken and rice for him so at least he didn’t have to cook everyone dinner this year…. but he usually does.

  2. I love Churchill when it’s not so crowded! A lot of people I know have been going to Thursday night racing and Downs After Dark.

    I love that you went to the pool first – that’s some quality reading time!

    Enjoy your time with Hadley after she sleeps longer than you thought possible!

    1. We’d hoped to get to a downs after dark, but it hasn’t happened. Not sure if there anymore this year.
      We didn’t go to bed until 3.
      I got up around 9, and she slept until 12:30 I think.

  4. Omaha native here- I attend the CWS every year- tons of locals are routing for Kentucky! Not only does the team have the best antics in the dugout (they are so fun to watch!!) you have some of the nicest fans I have met, and the players are great interacting with kids!

  5. We watched baseball too. We are huge TN Volunteer fans and they did not disappoint. I think my husband has re-watched the last five minutes of Friday nights game about twenty times now. How fun to see the racetrack and area up close. Looks like a nice weekend…I love the meme : )

  6. We had that coffee cake for Father’s Day too! You are so right to go to the pool early. Last week we went in the afternoon, and it was so hot.
