Thanks to taking a few much-needed days off from work and a national holiday, I just wrapped up a 5-day weekend, which was absolutely lovely.

It didn't hurt that after weeks of rain, we finally had a string of sunny and warm days.

Somethings I did

Slept in everyday
Drove to MA/NH border and bought a great new dining room table and chairs that surprisingly fit in the back of my Matrix.
Ate almost every meal outside
Spent hours knitting in the backyard
Finished sewing a dress
Went to an indoor picnic (on the one cold day of my weekend)
Put the new grill to use
Tried to ID our backyard birds
Went to the local Memorial Day parade.
Went to the drive-in restaurant

All in all, I feel totally refreshed - exactly what you want from a long weekend.
