WEDNESDAY
It was that time of year again where the Sol Festival rolls into town. The Sol Festival is a giant summer music festival that sims look forward to every year! This year, the festival was going to be held in Glimmerbrook. Wade and Darla got their tickets months ago and have been really looking forward it. Though they had tons to look forward to, the day started off just a little rocky for them. After frantically rushing to finish packing, they were finally ready to leave. However, Wade..well, he forgot to call ahead and book a sUber to the train station.

"You didn't book the ride?" Darla scolded. "So not only did you forget to pack, but you also forgot to call the sUber? That's just great, Wade, now we're probably going to be late. The train leaves in 30 minutes! Ugh, you're just so irresponsible" she said with an eye roll.
Now here’s the thing, Wade has been married to Darla for nearly a year, so this is not his first rodeo. She doesn't truly mean anything she's saying— she's just stressed. The best plan of action is to stay calm, apologize, and fix it.
"Babe, relax! It's going to be okay," he reassured, as he held Darla's hand. "I just booked one, and the app says they'll be here in 10 minutes."

During their route to Glimmerbrook, they made a quick stop in Evergreen Harbor to grab some lunch at The Caboose, an old train station renovated into a trendy new restaurant and bar. Unfortunately, Darla still wasn't quite over the mess from earlier that morning; asking Wade how in the world he managed to forget everything she asked him to do the night before. At this point he just thought the whole conversation was funny which made her even more annoyed.

After nearly 4 more hours on the train, the Holdens finally got to their destination. They stopped at the Slumber Cabin to get a room since they planned to stay overnight in Glimmerbrook. By this time, the dust had settled from the couple's little tiff earlier that morning. They walked into the motel hand-in-hand and all smiles!

After freshening up and putting on their festival outfits, they headed over to the festival ground in the forest. A bunch of their friends were already there ready to greet them!

Wade and his friend, August, tried to get the party started right with a keg stand!

"Chug! Chug! Chug!"

Everyone was having a grand ol' time socializing, drinking, and dancing. It was the time to let loose!

Eventually, Wade asked Darla if she wanted to try doing a keg stand. She was no stranger to keg stands; it was actually her go-to party trick at University! "Of course!" she answered. They made their way over to the juice keg and Wade lifted her up. "You got me?" she asked Wade. "Yeah, yeah— I got you!" he replied. Their friends crowded around them yelling "Chug! Chug! Chug!"

Darla was almost done sipping the last remnants of juice until she suddenly felt herself lose balance..

Yep, that happened..Wade dropped her. :D

Darla got up holding her lower back. "You said you had me!" she laughed.

The festival went on for a few more hours. Some festival goers were still energized and dancing, but many decided to huddle around the fire pits to wind down. Around the fire, Wade wanted to grab Darla's attention to apologize for earlier that day.
"Hey, I'm sorry I forgot to pack and call the sUber. I didn't realize it meant that much to you, and I promise I listen to you! I'll try do better" he explained.
"It's okay! I was just trying to avoid the inevitable I guess" she said with a smile. "I'm not upset anymore."
Wade lifted Darla up and gazed up into her eyes. "I love you" he whispered.
"I love you too" she whispered back.

Once he put her back down, Darla put her arms around Wade's neck and leaned in for a kiss. It was such a great end to that magical night!

THURSDAY
The next day, the Holdens slept in for most of the morning. They were up so late last night, no wonder they were exhausted!

After they got up, cleaned their motel room and enjoyed some continental breakfast, they decided to soak up some sun at the motel's pool deck.

Once the pool started to get a little overcrowded (it was a very small pool area), they went into the motel bar. Darla loved the bar's atmosphere and thought the beach theme was really cute. They had a couple glasses of strawberry rosé and called it a day! Later, they got their belongings together and made their way to the train station to go back home.

Later that evening, they arrived back in Oasis Springs. Home sweet home!

Overall, the day was pretty uneventful since most of the day was spent traveling back home. The Holdens have a big vacation coming up over the weekend, so they spent the rest of the evening relaxing and getting in as much puppy cuddles in as they could!
