Summary
Halcyon: denoting a period of time in the past that was idyllically happy and peaceful. Synonyms: happy, golden, idyllic, carefree, blissful, joyful, joyous, contented.
Okay, so obviously everything isn't that easy and even in a perfect weekend there are hiccups, but maybe the things that go wrong are as important and meaningful as the things that go right, and anyway, perfection is all a matter of interpretation.
By all accounts, then, this weekend is perfect. Happy, golden, halcyon.
