The Saturday Six

 

First up...the OFFICIAL happy birthday to Ryan! If you missed it, I celebrated his birthday on the blog yesterday, since today is Saturday Six day. :) You know, I normally don't have a theme to the Saturday Six, but today I sort of do. I was drawn to all sorts of things that are fun but more than likely will never be a reality for me. It's probably the same for you, but maybe you can have some fun looking!

One.

I most CERTAINLY do not have fourteen grand to spend on a swing, but man, oh, man, if I did...have you ever seen anything so delightful? I'd probably never leave it. 

Two.

Ryan and I are always looking for ways to live smaller, so we're probably not contenders for this 50,000 square foot mansion in Texas. (Though if we could afford it, we could also afford the aforementioned swing.) Nothing about this house tempts me...except the pool. I could take a second look at that! 

Three.

This one might not be entirely far fetched, but it is for us right now. Still, I think it's creative! I found a link to this blogger's free e-book about how to visit all 50 states in 12 trips. If you download the e-book, she has each trip laid out into an itinerary! So if you hate vacation planning this could actually be helpful! 

Four.

On the complete flip side from a 50,000 square foot mansion, the Apartment Therapy website has the 251-500 square foot home contest open until Monday. I have had a BLAST looking through the small spaces which somehow don't look nearly so small when well-organized and beautifully decorated. I would say our chances of living in a home this size are far greater than the 50,000 square foot house, but still, probably not likely right now. 

Five.

I do love a good milkshake. I don't get them very often, but I do love them. I don't know when or if I'll ever make it to one of the locations of The Yard Milkshake Bar, but I drooled ALL the way through the menu. Is it milkshake overkill? Oh absolutely. But in the best possible way. Brilliant. 

Six.

I hope this one DOES happen for us someday, but I wanted to share it because some of you mentioned after last week's Six that you also love the idea of a Route 66 trip. This site gives turn by turn instructions if you want to keep planning away! (I won't lie...it mesmerized me!)
