Michigan Trip
Over Labor Day Weekend, we went back to Michigan for a visit...the main purpose was a mini-reunion with Chad & Raquel to check out the campus and see the Michigan-Vandy game at the Big House.
After an overnight stay with my parents, we borrowed the mini-van and drove up to Ann Arbor for the weekend. Friday afternoon, we checked out North Campus. Here's a picture of the new CS building... We also broke into the Tau Beta Pi office since as a former president, I was allowed to keep a key. They hadn't changed the t-shirt design in over 10 years--except for the color!!
That night we at at the Zingermann Roadhouse...yum!!!!
Saturday, we had breakfast at Angelo's (mmm...cinnamon-raisin French toast!!!) before heading off to the game. Chad scored us 6th row seats on the 50 yd line!!! It was awesome, we got to see all the players and band come out!
After the game, Raquel & I went shopping around Ann Arbor (had to get new Michigan paraphenalia) while the guys went to Scorekeepers to watch more football. We also made stops at Dominic's (Bob got to try the sangria) and ate at a pizza place I'd never been before...it was quite yummy, I can't believe I never tried it while in college!
The next day we drove across the state to Battle Creek where Chad & Raquel's parents live. We then drove to Lake Michigan and took a short cruise - though little Nathan wasn't really digging it after face-planting in the driveway earlier. :( So the guys went back out fishing and Raquel, Nathan, & I drove up the west coast of Michigan and shopped some more. :) We got some cool pottery before Nathan got too cranky and we drove back to Battle Creek without the guys. We spent the night at Raquel's parent's posh party house, before driving back to the east side of Michigan. We stopped at my friend Dana's house in Milford for an afternoon bbq with her family before heading back to my parents house. That night, we also got to visit my friend Jeanne & her husband, Dave. It was a packed visit with lots of fun and catching up with old friends. :)
