Sunday Funday; 3/18

Sunday is the only day that Zach and I both don't have to work, so we are making a concerted effort to do something great every Sunday. Well, this Sunday was packed. We woke up by 9:00 am and decided to go on a walk with my mom. It was still cool and grey out, but according to my mom's step-counter-thingy we went 2 miles. I don't exercise...ever.. so I was pretty impressed with myself. Then I made delicious scones that can be found in the nearest Wegman's refrigerated aisle:



Yes, I sprinkle sugar on top of the scones. Don't judge. Then Zach decided he wanted to go check out a car, which is right by Wegmans and my mom had to go shopping, so we decided to all head over there together. We go to dealerships allllll the time, so I'm a little over it, but it was fine. We got home and I started marinating meat for some Korean meat for dinner, which I will share the recipe for later because it is DELISH. 

Right when I thought I was going to retire for the night (about 2:30 in the afternoon), Mark and Maddy texted Zach about heading to Great Falls for a walk. I love that we can finally spend time outdoors, I seriously love Great Falls and taking hikes/walks, and Mark and Maddy are pretty awesome so I sacrificed my couch time. It is a Sunday after all, we have to do something great. We had so much fun with them, as always. It is so nice having another couple that both of us really like hanging out with. Hopefully we will get to share more Sunday Fundays with them :)




Never gets old.


Checking out Mark's super cool old camera



Mark somehow spotted this snake in a tree above us, which I thought was gigantic.
No one else thought he was that big..

Car Fanatics

Last weekend Zach, my parents and I went to the car show. We were primarily there to see the foreign cars, like Lexus and Audi. I personally ended up being more interested in the American cars, maybe because I didn't have high expectations so I was easily impressed. Just a couple weeks ago Zach, my mom and I went to the Lexus dealership to look for a new car for me or Zach and we didn't have any other kind of car in mind. After this car show, we literally went right over to the Jeep dealership because we fell in love with the Patriot and the Compass. We know we need an SUV (or at least a larger car) since we are going to have kids soon. We are pretty sure we will end up getting a Compass Limited, but want to check around a few other SUV options first. 

We also saw a ton of really cool concept cars. We had so much fun checking everything out, and the cars coming out in the next few years are very different looking. For example, one of the cars out this year, the Hyundai Veloster, only has 3 doors. It was so cool looking, and we totally would have considered it if we didn't want an SUV. Here are some of the cars we saw:

This was one of the first concept cars we saw, which I thought was cute, but it ended up getting blown away.

Look how tiny the trunks are on the Smart cars Fiat!
(Oops! Thanks Zach)

Hilarious.

Checking out one of the Wranglers, we didn't get a picture of me in my fave - the Patriot.

They had the coolest displays, showing the bottom of the cars or the engines.


Ford's concept car.

A car split in half to show safety features. I stole this picture idea (with a crash dummy) from a little boy.
He was a creative genius.

One of Toyota's concept cars.

We <3 Lexus. These were all on spinning platforms, hence the bad pictures.

At the end they had a lot of antique cars for sale, which were so cute. I decided that this was the one I wanted once Zach becomes a plastic surgeon and we're RICH!
