If you had told me in 2010, that I would still love going to Akron after graduating, I would've laughed, in your face~ actually if you would've told me my degree would've been from The University of Akron, I wouldn't have known how to deal.
But I did graduate from UA and I do love going back to Akron, probably more than my car, wallet or mother like~ but I digress.
This past weekend for Homecoming, I wanted to have the perfect fall weekend- full of sunflower fields, Stan Hwyet, tailgating, apple orchards and pumpkin patches.
Of course, life has a way of mucking up those plans, but I had a wonderful weekend all the same!
We missed out on the sunflower field, but we were able to finally make it to ULTA to see the OPI Washington DC Collection and also had dinner at The Rail.
I worked at Summit Mall for two years and lived in Akron for four and a half and never went to The Rail, and boy oh boy was that a mistake! I had the MOST DELICIOUS meal! 7th Heaven Burger (Ohio thick-cut bacon | truffle butter | red onion jam), yes please and Gouda Mac & Cheese Bites with buffalo ranch dip, YAAAAASSSSSSS KWEEN!

Saturday morning we went to breakfast at Mustard Seed and we were able to sit on the patio, an actual dream!
Due to work schedules we weren't able to go to the sunflower field or apple orchard or pumpkin patch, but when there's a will~ there's a way- and instead we made our own.
Sunflowers may be my new second favorite flower, I'm not sure what my first would be, but I don't want to commit to anything just yet!
The tailgate started at 12PM, the game started at 3PM. It was a lot of fun to say the least.
Being I was still recovering from whatever happened at Gavin, and staying up until 1:30 on Friday, after going to the mall after the tailgate and taking a 2 hour nap, I was done for the count and ended up staying in~ watching Picture This on Netflix while trying to take off my gel polish, it didn't work out so well. I ended up in bed and asleep by 10:30. What a wild Homecoming Weekend!
Sunday involved waking up from what felt like a coma~ you know when you have a really solid nap and wake up with a headache, that was me. We went to Starbucks and then Giant Eagle and then went back home to make breakfast (I just watched).
I'm not sure what I did until 1:30 when I finally mustered the energy to get on the road to go home. But I had a great weekend and bought so many new nail polishes!
The rental car I had, has now forced my hand into car shopping, thankfully two friends just did this, so it's like they're doing it again.
Stay tuned for that saga!
