Back to work today...

Last Wednesday, we left for PA after work. We stopped in Bangor at 9 PM for a brief Acadia Distilling Company meeting. We continued our journey on to PA at 11 PM. We ended up stopping at 2 AM just inside the MA border. I slept until 5 AM and then we continued on. We arrived in Reading around 12 PM on Thursday.

Thursday night, my Dad took us out to dinner at Red Lobster. We all had lots to eat! After that we went to Best Buy, and he got us a DVD player as an anniversary gift. We ended up getting home around 10 PM and went straight to bed.

Friday, we got up pretty early. We took my brother Kyle with us for a day of shopping. We went everywhere. The Berkshire Mall, AC Moore, Reading China & Glass, Home Depot, Lowes, Pet stores... We dropped Kyle off around 4 PM and we went back to my grandparents house. We left for dinner at the Windsor Inn around 7 PM. Another spectacular meal at this place. Over 8 years of going to this resteraunt and I have never had a bad meal. I drank my first Yuenling Lager is 6 months and boy was that good.

Saturday morning we woke up by alarm clock. We were on the road to Baltimore by 9 AM. We got to Pete's Apartment by 11 AM. We ended up going to Annapolis for the day. It was sunny and in the 60's. NICE! We walked around the Naval Academy and the docks. Looked at alot of the historic buildings in the area. Jack and Trina met us there around 4 PM and we ate dinner. From there we went back to Pete's apartment to look at his slide show from Costa Rica. He is one awesome photographer.

On Sunday, Our 5th Anniversary, we got up and showered. We were meeting Adric at his church. We met George and Linda, Adric's parents, in the lobby. Adric is the music director of the Church of the Nativity in Timonium. The music was awesome. After chuch, we went out for lunch with Adric and his parents. We went back to Adric's apartment for some cake after lunch. We ended up leaving Baltimore around 5:30 PM. By 6:30 PM we were in Mechanicsburg, PA visiting with Jessi, Pat, and Paul. It is nice to catch up with friends. Jessi is looking great, all of her scars have healed up. She is walking without crutches and she is driving. We got to check out her apartment before going to a bar near there. We went to the Gingerbread Man and had a drink. We left there just after 10PM. We landed in backing in Reading at 11:05PM. Off to bed right away.

Monday, our last day in PA, we went shopping at some Amish Quilt and Antique places. Didn't buy anything, but drooled alot. We had dinner with my Mom and said our goodbyes. I went down to Dad's to say our farewells too. We watched Third Watch and then went to bed. 4 AM is coming early.

Tuesday... up at 4 AM. We got the car packed and were on the road by 5 AM. It was a dreary kind of day. The rain finally ended in Fredericton. We made it home at 7PM AST. Unpacked the car and watched 24. I guess Jack really did die. But as they say, " Jack is Back." Asleep by 10PM last night.
