Finally I'm free! Except not really, but that's okay. I handed in my rough draft for my article critique
this morning at 12:30 on Tuesday and got out of class 40 minutes early. When I got to my audiology class, I found out that I got the highest score on our last exam. WHOOP! I rewarded myself with a Blue Moon after class. OKAY now that all of that important information is out of the way, it's time to get to my weekend recap post.
I have no idea what I did on Friday, but I remember drinking an Angry Orchard.
SATURDAY: I woke up at the ass crack of dawn to shower and pack my bags for the Celtic Classic in Bethlehem, PA aka the largest celtic festival in North America. Any other time, I would've been screaming, but I was so excited for this weekend it didn't even matter. After a road rage filled trip to Dunkin Donuts (bitches be trippin') we hit the highway and got to our hotel an hour later where we were greeted by eleventy billion bikes from the Shamrocks bike gang.
When we got into the room we looked around until we realized that the shower was in the living room, which was also our bedroom...and kitchen. I repeat: THE SHOWER WAS IN THE LIVING ROOM. Don't believe me? Here's proof.
Next, we left the hotel to head into town for the opening parade. I've never seen more men in kilts (see also manly skirts) or bagpipes before. It. was. awesome.
After the parade we went to get some food hallelujah! We sat and listened to some Irish band play while stuffing out faces with pulled pork sliders and Irish nachos.
The rest of the day was spent drinking Magner's Cider (my fave) and eating some more.We saw two Irish comedians, Irish dancers and watched Barleyjuice aka the best Irish rock band I've ever heard perform.
Right before we left, we grabbed some strudel to take back to the hotel, where I proceeded to eat it like this.
On Sunday, we woke up and grabbed breakfast at the hotel before heading out to church and then back to the festival for shopping before heading home. Mom bought me a little booklet full of Irish wedding traditions because I
already picked my wedding date want to get married on Saint Patrick's Day.
It was the best weekend I've had in a while and I was sad to leave Bethlehem to go home and write a paper.
Now for a photo dump of the rest of the weekend pics.

This looks like so freakin' much fun! And I love how you ate the strudel - haha! Though the puppy in the kilt is probably my favorite :D
ReplyDeleteI've spent so much time in Bethlehem..Brian went to Lehigh!! I didn't know there was an Irish festival, that looks fun! Did you go to the Hotel Bethlehem? We went for dinner once and for formal for Brian's fraternity.. I hear it's haunted!
ReplyDeleteFor some awful reason I cannot see any pictures in this post, and I feel really sad that I can't admire you eating a strudel.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh this is perfect. Just straight up perfect :)
