Great Weekend!

Eric and I had a wonderful weekend away! We spent some much needed time together and did some fun things while we were gone. We headed to Indy Friday night after Eric got off of work and we went to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. We had never eaten there before. The food was good but the cheesecake was fabulous! We split a piece of cheesecake that had reeses cups, butterfinger, peanut butter and chocolate swirled throughout it! It was amazing!! If you have never been to Cheesecake Factory I would recommend going just for the experience of the cheesecake! We then did a little bit of shopping, well looking, at the fashion mall. It is to pricey for our tight budget :) We then turned into the hotel for the night and watched a movie and relaxed!

We woke up Saturday morning and headed downtown. We had breakfast at Cinnabon, yummy! We then headed over to the Bodies exhibit! This exhibit was so neat! If you are into learning about the body and things of that nature I would highly recommend you check it out! I wasn't sure if Eric would enjoy it, being that he is not really into that stuff, but he said that he learned a lot and thought it was pretty cool! A very interesting fact that we learned while we were there: You lose 3 hours and 45 minutes of your life for EVERY pack of cigarettes that you smoke! Can you believe that? That's incredibly scary! So if you know someone who smokes share that fun fact with them! Wow! After the bodes exhibit we headed over to Circle Centre to do some shopping! Again, a bust! We didn't but a single thing but jewelry cleaner. We then headed over to Clay Terrace Mall in Carmel. While we were at Clay Terrace we had some Red Robin for lunch! That was a first for us, we figured PK liked it so we would give it a shot! It was very good I must say, we will go back! We then did some shopping! Eric got some new tennis shoes and a toboggan. I got a new Vera Bradley item! Yay! We then left Clay Terrace and headed back to the hotel. I took a nap and Eric and watched TV and played on the internet. Then that evening we headed out to Crackers comedy club for the 8 pm non smoking show, with all of the old people :) This too was a first for us. We had never been to a comedy club, but we had a blast! I haven't laughed so much in a long time! It was a great time! The headliner was Chris Porter, he was a runner up on Last Comic Standing. He was very good and hilarious! We had appetizers at the show(that was dinner) we then headed back to the hotel for the night.

We slept in this morning and packed up and left the hotel around 10:30. We headed to Perkins for breakfast. We then stopped in at Castleton Mall for some shopping. We bought Eric a shirt and then headed home around 1:30!

It was a great weekend. We enjoyed our time with each other and getting to have a break from school. I only wish we could do it more often. But unfortunately we are back home and already back to working on school work :( Here is to a good week and good rest of the semester!! God Bless!!

Did anyone else do anything fun this weekend? If so tell me about it I would love to know what you did this weekend!

My weekend was not nearly as exciting as yours! We did go see the movie "Fireproof" which I highly recommend.

Glad you had this little retreat. We need to do for ourselves every now and then!
