I thought about calling this post ‘My Weekend in Pictures’ but Day Drinking just seemed WAY more accurate!
Saturday began in downtown St. Louis at 8am with Pints and Pancakes…
No explanation necessary…
We started with some Guinness (I mixed mine with cider) before moving on to more beers and Mimosas!
Initially, the bar was pretty empty but after the St. Patrick’s Day race ended, the bar became more crowded with runners seeking beer.
The weather was cool, so around noon we ditched the parade for the casino and some basketball games.
Massive quantities of food followed…
Day drinking requires a certain amount of energy! After the basketball game, we left the city and may or may not have crashed a 5th birthday party at the bowling alley.
Ok, our friends are related to said 5 year old, but the BOY and I were crashers. Around 6:00pm, we finally made our way back to our friend’s house after a long day of food, beer, and fun!
The BOY headed straight for the deer jerky while the rest of us dug into the White Chocolate Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. I also made a cup of tea.
It felt amazing to put up my feet! We relaxed for the next hour before ending our day with dinner and a rerun of the latest Justin Timberlake Saturday Night Live. By 10:00pm, the four of us were all in bed. When you’re over 30, it’s tough to transition day drinking into night drinking. Luckily, we packed more than enough excitement into our day! The BOY and I were sad to say good bye to our friends this morning, but we already made have plans to see each other again this summer!
How was your St. Patty’s Day?
Are you a day drinker?
Luv What You Do 
DAY DRINKER (sung to the tune of Day Tripper)… I wanna be a day drinker…. instead I am a tax doer…
beer for brekkie, what a concept!
welcome back…. hugs from mom.
Thanks Mom!
We can take you Day Drinking on April 16th…ha ha!
Kelley says Hi!
How much fun!! You gotta love taking a day and throwing caution to the wind. What a blast!
I know…right?! Not my usual style as day drinking is typically saved for vacations, but I think I needed it!
What a fun day! I didn’t do anything this year, but I prefer day drinking so I can still get plenty of sleep 🙂
I know…that was a total bonus! We were asleep by 10 and well rested when we woke up for breakfast at 9 : )
When you get older, day drinking seems to be the logical choice. I’m glad you had a great St. Patrick’s Day. We went to the parade in downtown Cleveland and did a fair amount of day drinking ourselves.
Cheers!
Yes, we just can’t hang like we used to but it made the drive home yesterday much more pleasurable to have gotten so much sleep!
Bahaha you guys are awesome!! I did NOTHING of the sort yesterday, so I must life through you!! One day I will be the day drinker again!
He he!
I am a fake day drinker which means that I do it sporadically and try to hang with the cool kids. It always leads to good times and stories : )
Haha love the title of this post…definitely one of my favorite activities! The food looks so good!
It was pretty incredible for Casino and bar food! And kept us fueled for almost an entire day : )
That pretzel is massive!! It looks soooo tasty :).
The BOY and I are obsessed with soft pretzels and this one was definitely a quality pretzel!
Love pancakes and beer for breakfast! All the food throughout the day looks awesome too! I love day drinking during summer sports games and basketball
Yes…I think the summer is perfect for BBQ’s and day drinking! I just can’t wait for the weather to warm up! It’s amazing how well pancakes and beer go together! Ha ha!
Looks like you had a super fun day! I’m such a lightweight drinker and wimp I wouldn’t have even made it as long as you did!
I relied HEAVY on the water to stay hydrated which made a huge difference!
[…] eating more carbs this weekend than I had in the previous 2 months combined (not a complaint, just a fact), it was necessary to […]
Ha! I’m not the only one that can’t transition from day to night drinking. We were “day drinking” yesterday as well – there was definitely no night drinking!
St Patty’s Day was made for day drinking (and then snacking and napping) he he! I am definitely on your side!
I definitely prefer to drink during the day. The weathers usually nicer, there’s more to do and by the time your hangover kicks in, you can sleep through it like a champ. Looks like you guys had fun… love the festive straws with your beers.
Thanks! I picked those up at Target and thought they would be fun to drag around with us. I definitely slept that one off like a champ : )
ahhh what a awesome weekend! and that freaking pretzel looks amazing !
My mouth is still watering just thinking about it!!!
That sounds like my kind of day! Guinness and cider mixed? Sounds good! I could definitely be a day drinker. Loved the pics. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for liking!
Strongbow and Guinness make an awesome combo that we discovered in London. Whenever I drink it, I feel 20 again. ha ha!
I’ve never been a day drinker, but what a fun day! Guinness + cider = awesome. Love that you ended it with a cup of tea 🙂
The tea shows my age…ha ha! I do like some crisp cider in the summer and it’s the perfect mix for dark thick Guinness!
