Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was great. Omaha really comes alive in the summer and has so many fun things going on each and every day. Unfortunately, it was nearly 100 degrees this weekend, so Josh and I attempted to do as many fun things as we could indoors.
Friday night we went to Broadway Dreams concert at Midtown Crossing. We had never heard of the program before but it’s a wonderful organization that provides mentoring and guidance to kids interested in performing arts. We were blown away by the talent Omaha has.
We drank some fun sparkling waters while we tried not to swelter in the heat.
Saturday we spent the morning running errands. Which naturally meant we had to stop at Target. 😉 While I was perusing the clothes I talked Josh into getting a Pink Drink from Starbucks. I snuck a few sips and found it very refreshing, albeit very sweet.
Saturday night Josh and I threw it back to middle school with a date night at Skate Daze. I have been wanting to go rollerskating forever and was so excited to get to do so with Josh. We had a blast, and I didn’t fall once! (This is a big accomplishment for the girl who broke her tailbone the last time she went ice skating.)
Sunday we piled on the sunscreen and ventured outside to check out Arts Fest. We’ve gone every year that we lived here and we always look forward to it. There are so many talented artists selling their beautiful creations.
There’s interactive art. (I drew a heart. So original. So not an artists. 😉 )
And the chance to watch real artists do their thing. While we didn’t splurge on any big pieces, we did pick up a fun wood puzzle. We then spent the rest of Sunday night solving it. It was a great time with a great guy.
Questions of the Day: Is it ridiculously hot in your area right now? What was the highlight of your weekend? Do you have an artistic talent?
I have no artistic talent, but I enjoy looking at stuff created by people who do! Rollerskating is so much fun, makes you feel like a kid again.
Yes! It seriously took me back to junior high, and made me realize how much has changed!
Oh my goodness! I have been skating twice in my life and both times ended up in the emergency room! Glad you did well!
It is ridiculously hot here already. It was 96 Sunday when we were running errands!
Ahh I’m so glad I didn’t end up in the ER too! Haha that would not make for a fun date night!
I ALWAYS fall when rollerskating. I used to ice skate, but I just cannot seem to master the art of rollerskating. Looks like you had a fun weekend though!
It was such a fun weekend! It’s funny, I’m the stronger roller skater and my husband is the stronger ice skater. We both feel so out of our element when doing the other one!
It’s that hot in Austin too! 92 on Saturday. Looks like you made it a fun weekend anyway! Love Topo Chico!!
It was my first time trying Topo Chico and I loved it! I definitely need to buy more!
Oklahoma is hitting the 100 mark this week 🙁 But we had a pretty mild spring, so we were lucky. I spent an amazingly relaxing weekend in Eureka Springs Arkansas. And I’m going to be in Omaha this weekend for the first games of the College World Series!! Very excited, and will hopefully get to hit a few spots while we’re there.
Ohh have a blast!! If you want to grab coffee just let me know!
So pretty! 🙂
Aww thank you Helena!
Looks like such a fun weekend! I haven’t skated for ages and this totally made me want to go! Thanks for hosting the linkup.
I was so proud I didn’t fall! Haha Now I really want to go back!!
Sounds like a fantastic weekend! The interactive art looks super cool!
The art was so fun! It just made me wish I was better! Haha
We are thinking about going to Omaha this weekend. In your opinion what are the top three places we should see/eat at/experience??
Ohh how fun! If you want to grab coffee just let me know! 🙂
1. Lauritzen Gardens, everything is in bloom right now
2. Joslyn Art Museum
3. The zoo is the best in the world but I’ve heard lines are hours long to get in right now because of the new safari exhibit and baby elephants.
4. Eat and explore old market, it’s so fun! I love and highly recommend Kitchen Table. Make sure you check out the old market passageway. It’s beautiful. There’s a farmers market there Saturday mornings.
5. If you want to do yoga there’s free yoga at midtown crossing with a dj Sunday afternoon. It’s called yoga rocks the park.
I hope this was helpful!
Oh man, I haven’t gone roller skating in forever! The last time I went was for my friends 80s-themed birthday party. It was a blast! Have a great week, Erin!
That sounds like such a fun party!! I want to go roller skating more often!
Looks like a fun weekend!
It was a great time!
I love this, it looks so fun! You guys had a blast. Now I’m tempted to find a pink drink at Starbucks, haha. I wish there would be something cool around here to do this weekend. It’s super hot here too though. Happy Monday!
You’ll have to let me know what you think of it! It’s a super unique drink!
thanks for sharing your adventures!
Have a great week ahead!
You as well Sybil!
Looks like you had a great weekend! I just learned about the “pink drink” at Starbucks this weekend…I felt so in the dark but I must admit, it really doesn’t seem that appealing to me? Maybe it’s the color or maybe it’s just because I’m a black coffee girl.
I’m weird in that I love black coffee and super sweet drinks! You’re not alone, I’ve heard a lot of people say the pink drink doesn’t seem appealing to them.
