Best. Weekend. Ever.

Yeeeah, it was. So last Wednesday was me and Bunny's one year anniversary. I never get Wednesdays off, because I work Monday to Friday. Bunny could have gotten off [actually, she typically has off on Wednesdays lately] but what good is celebrating for the half a day after I get out of work? Instead, she took this past weekend off and for awhile, I was racking my brain for something good to do with her, something to make it special. Me and some of the other guys at work were talking about weekend plans and they mentioned something that was pure. Genius.

Beach.

Bunny would live on the beach if she could. She's a beach girl at heart, me thinks. So naturally, when I told her I was trying to get our entire mini-family of friends to come with us down to Wildwood, the butt of New Jersey, and a damn nice beach with an awesome boardwalk.

She hopped. Oooh, did the Bunny hop.

It was pretty awesome. We didn't get all 7 of our friends like we wanted, as one couple couldn't make it [school work, college level] But the five of us got a really nice hotel room for about $170, which isn't bad for 5 people! That's about $35 each, plus tax.

So, K [one of the friends] got out of work at 7 p.m., we pick her and Jay [her boyfriend] up around 7:30 p.m. and get our other friend [who is really... REALLY gay!] Ray from his place and start on the two bloody hour drive down there. Around 10 p.m., we get there and check in, and after the "new toy" feel of the hotel room wore off, we hit the boardwalk for a good hour and a half, two hours. Finally getting tired, we went back to the room, fell asleep and woke up nice and early at 9 a.m. to pack up before 10 a.m. [check-out time]

We hit the boardwalk and the beach and did something really kinda cool. Ever seen booths for those "old-time photos"? We did a few of those, dressed with the guys as gangsters and the girls as show girls. It was a good laugh and the photos printed out beautifully. There's one photo of the entire group, shooting each other and bashing one another with alcohol bottles, and a few good pictures of K and Jay, and me and Bunny doing silly poses and smiling. We got ours framed, in a really nice frame and Bunny's ga-ga over this thing. Pictures? Maybe.

Anyway, the weekend ended with stopping by the father-in-laws [no, I'm not married. Confused? Good!] and he grilled us some food. It was fun and we got to see the sunset on his boat. We finally got home around midnight, with [in my opinion] all of us very satisified with the weekend. It's trips like these that really make you relax and when it's with someone you love, you really appreciate your time with them. I don't think I could have made the trip with anyone better than this girl.

After all... Why would I want to try?

Think on THAT philosophy. If you can.

Best. Weekend. Ever.
