What are your plans for the 4th? And Canadians, what are you doing today?

Can you tell that I am looking forward to the weekend already?  :)

Re: What are your plans for the 4th? And Canadians, what are you doing today?

  • This is pretty sad...my birthday is the 4th and I have no plans. A couple of friends want to take me out for lunch, but that's it at the moment. :P

    Maybe I'll go float in the IL's pool after lunch? We'll see!

  • @islandmonkey8- I am coming over!!  That sounds really fun.

    We don't have any solid plans yet.  We usually go over to my ILs house for a cookout, so maybe that.  We also might host this year.  I am on the fence.

    We're going to my sister's for an early cookout then to the ILs for a late snack/dessert. Other than that, nothing super exciting.

    ETA: I will be out at a jobsite (Arlington National Cemetery) starting Monday for pretty much the rest of July, so the rest of the weekend will pretty much be getting everything ready for long, hot workdays.

    We have DH's niece and nephew staying with us this week, so we took them to Parliament Hill and wandered around the festivities.  We're home now enjoying the AC (it's 100F with the humidity today). Friends are coming over shortly for a BBQ and then we'll go out and watch the fireworks.

Oh, and a friends son's 3 yr. old birthday party on Sunday, which is also our 2 yr. anniversary.

  • It is also my birthday, and it's a big one. 3-0. Ugh. My family planned a party for me that is threatening to be a fiasco. Whatever. I'm planning on spending my birthday with my nephew in my lap! And then it's off to the land of Monet, Gustav Eiffel, and croissants. Bring it.
    Are you going to Monet's house to see the gardens?? Are you going to Versailles? Soooo jealous. I might stow away.

  • @amandaf6383‌ yes to Versailles, maybe on Monet's house. We don't have too much on our itinerary because of DH's meeting schedule. I will spend most of my time with DH's colleague's 55-year-old husband. Awesome. :-)

    We spent Canada Day in the US. We went to the Detroit Science Center, then shopped for essentials and then had dinner with my great-aunts. 

    Friday, DH took half a day off so we can pick up my parents from the airport. Maybe we'll be lucky and see fireworks on the way home!

  • We spent Canada Day at home packing in the morning for the move, and then hitting up a pool party and BBQ in the afternoon.  They were predicting thundershowers and tornados which is crazy for around here, but luckily nothing ended up hitting us.  It was a lovely day!  Too bad we all have to go back to work today :(

    On Friday, we are going to my aunts house for pool time and grilling out.  Saturday, my uncle rented a party barge in the evening, so we'll be hanging out on the lake.  Sunday, we need to work on some house stuff, laundry, and cleaning.  I'm hoping we'll have time to go look at a few lots for sale in between all this.
