Weekend Recap

My last post I had said that I'd be back to share the details of our weekend.

 It doesn't matter that I'm 5 days late right?

I'm a firm believer in the ....

Better late than never!

SO HERE IT GOES

We were kid-free the entire weekend, so Friday night we had a nice dinner, just the two of us.

It had probably been a month since our last date night, so it was long overdue!

We met at home after work & headed out for an early dinner. 

Well I thought we were headed to dinner, but we killed some time car shopping since it was so early.  We've been throwing around the idea of a bigger 3rd row vehicle.  We stopped at a few places, & nothing really caught our eye, so we gave up & headed to dinner.

 We had decided on a place called John Phillips.  It's in the Town Center by our house so it was pretty convenient & we'd also received a buy one entree, get one free coupon in the mail so even better right?! 

Creag had been there once before, & wasn't too impressed but it had been awhile so he didn't mind giving them one more chance.  Right away though, we weren't really impressed with the atmosphere, or the drink choices for that matter.

Creag is a big fan of craft beers, he always likes to try something new.  When he asked our waitress what they had on tap, her answer was..."the normal stuff"  uh, wrong answer!  What exactly is normal?  We got our drinks & ordered dinner.  They brought out bread with a honey butter that was overloaded with honey.  Wasn't a fan.  There was a band playing there that night, so there were a lot of people there and it was LOUD.  Not really my idea of a nice sit down dinner.  We had good conversation & waited quite awhile for our food.  I ordered the pork chops w/ a rasberry sauce & he got the sirloin, they both came with a baked potato & a vegetable.  Our meals were just ok, & for the price we probably could've gone somewhere better.  So we probably won't be going back. 

I wish I would've taken pictures, but didn't.

After dinner, we did a little shopping at Dillards & then headed to Turfway Park to watch the horses run.

Friday nights are $1.00 beer & they usually have a band too.

Not too shabby.

I don't really bet on the horses a whole lot, but it's a fun place to go & people watch for sure!

You see all kinds, & it's AWESOME:)

for instance....

Total Rock-Star right?!

And, if that's not enough for you, I had to go to the restroom while we were there

& walked into THIS.....

Let's just say, I had to step out of the stall after seeing this & make sure I was in the right bathroom.

When I realized I was, I was instantly traumatized!

I texted Creag a picture of the toilet (or whatever you'd call it) from the stall that read something like....

"Only in KY would you see this in a Womens Restroom!!"

I have never seen these anywhere & I hope to never come across them again anywhere else.

Creag was even like WTF are those haha!

So other that the horses, the $1.00 beers, the people there & the toilet, there was also a really awesome band.

They were called My Sister Sarah.  I think they're out of Cincinnati, but they are a RIOT!

They dress up in costume, & are very entertaining.  We will seriously be trying to see them again sometime.  We actually had a conversation about booking them for our wedding reception!

That's a picture of them looking like the guys in the band from the movie The Hangover. 

They also dressed up like LMFAO from the video I'm Sexy & I know it & it was hilarious!!  Tight pants stuffed with a sock & all.

Then they broke our with a whole set of boyband stuff.  NKOTB, Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, you name it.  I could have actually done w/out it, but it was different & fun. 

After Turfway we just headed home & crashed.

Saturday night was my Best Friend Amy's Surprise 30th Birthday Party so I think I'll come back & do a whole other post on that one!!

Happy Friday!
