Every week is long for me, spending ten hours each day at work. By the time I get back home, it is almost 9 pm. So, I keep longing for the weekend, to relax and get rid of all the stresses I had during the week.
When the weekend arrives, I am all set to relax and enjoy.
Quite often I would go out-of-town and enjoy the country-side, some times to mountain resorts, and some times to amusement parks. But, my real favorite is to go to the beach and just relax over the weekend.
Each one of us would have preferences, ofcourse. What is your favorite way of spending weekends ?

My favorite thing to do on the weekends is relax and spend time with my fiancee. We're planning our wedding right now - and it's next month already! Which means most of our weekends for the past year have been crazy busy. It will be nice to relax more once it's over. On a typical weekend though there is nothing better than just relaxing on the couch with my fiancee and then watching tv, taking a walk, shopping, etc.

Wish you all the happiness !

well i work at weekends. so i sleep by day time and work at night. before i used to have weekends as my rest days but i changed to weekdays because working during weekends is no pressure at all. nothing to work for and nothing to do that much.

I just like spending time outside with my family. Im a SAHM but cant do much as in splitting wood and stuff by myself outside, first I have a bad back and then there is Tessa which I wouldnt be able to chase and do work! lol
I love being able to sleep in with my hubby who is up and gone around 4:30 or so in the morning on week days. If together we can spend it anyway we want, we love going to the beach and looking for beach glass and just enjoying the nice weather. Stopping at the park and watching the kids play is always great too!

I love to go for a casual walk during my weekends.
I generally prefer places that are very calm and quiet.. but I love to spend my weekends in such places. But unfortunately.. all the calm places are very far from my place. So i'll not be able to make it up every weekend.
But just go to beach and just keep watching the ocean and having some snacks.

Oh my God I envy you, you are going to beaches during weekend or every weekend? Me, my favorite way of spending weekends is sleeping. It is quite boring I know but weekends for me is a whole day of rest so I sleep, I eat, then sleep and eat and sleep. That's why I am getting fat, I don't have much activities.

I also look forward to weekends.This is the time of the week where I can wake up late without worrying about being late for work. My ideal weekend would be waking at 9am, but gets up and fixes the bed by 10am. After that I would enjoy a sandwich with tuna-mayo while watching Sponge BOb Squarepants on our local television network. Next activity would be watching DVD's of moives I love and movies I missed out watching in the cinemas.For lunch I would still have a sandwich or two.I do not usually eat rice during weekends to lighten up my stomach and detoxicate all of the unhealthy foods I ate during the whole week. After that I will take a short nap and then watch a DVD again as soon as I wake up.ON Sundays I usually spend the day at the mall with my boyfriend, window shopping and just strolling around. Weekends are the days where I can destress and reflect on the things I have done during the week.I also make it to a point that I get enough sleep on weekends.

Spending time at the shopping malls, window shopping and just strolling around are also very relaxing. I do spend time at the bookshops some weekends glancing through some favorite books and magazines !

Weekend is bonding time for me and my husband. We both work on weekdays and usually got home late. So Weekends was spend on cleaning the house and attending to other household chores (laundry and iron), doing the groceries for the coming week. Attend mass and get more sleep.

Like you, I also love to spend my weekends at the beach.
I love how the sun touches my skin. I like to lounge on the sand while sipping on really cold drinks, listening to beach music, and chillaxin' with friends. Going to the beach recharges me and it gives me time to reflect on things and my life.

I live at Jakarta which is full of malls, department stores, and restaurants. So, people here does not much option on spending weekends, so they spending their money at the mall, which explains why if you go to Jakarta, what you mainly see is skycrapper and building developer building another mall (as if we don't have enough mall already!). It would be lovely to go to the beach like you said, but there is only one beach here and it is so crowded with people in weekend! So, it kind of a Jakarta people habit to go to mall, hanging out at cafe, going to movies, then maybe (like me) go to club or lounge.

I am emerald green with jealousy. To just hop in a car or on a train and go to the mountains for the weekend. for me the weekend is for food shopping, and if i am lucky good films and shows. and a good hockey game.

I work 8 hours a day, my job is not very busy, but still have some stresses, so just as you, I will have relax on weekend, and weekend is really important to me, I will stay up late at Friday, and then I will get up late at weekend, and have a good sleep, and I will also watch some movie, and then have dinner with my friend.
