We’re back from Columbus and thought I’d take a few minutes for a quick post before we settle in for an evening of Packer game and stuffing Thank You cards. This morning we made the two-hour drive to Columbus, OH to meet Mike, Mary, Michaela, Marcus and Martin for lunch, football, and some catching up time at Buffalo Wild Wings. Columbus is about the halfway meeting point for all of us, and since the weather was nice today and the Bengals v. Browns game was in Cincinnati, it was a great day for a drive to Columbus. It was so nice to see family and we had a great time hanging out and catching up! We’re hoping we can meet up with them more often now that we’re a little more settled. Having family around is wonderful! And sweet Michaela reads this blog too (Hi Michaela!) and brought me some peppermint tea since I mentioned tea last week. I love peppermint tea! An awesome surprise for sure :-)
On the drive there and back we drove by King’s Island – a roller coaster amusement park and water park just outside of Cincinnati that is a competitor of Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH (where we went for a weekend for our anniversary last year). It’s only about a 40 minute drive from our house (that was my daily commute from my house to my job in Texas – that’s nothing!). It’s close by and the season pass pays for itself in only a visit and a half. So if we can scrape up the money we’re considering season passes and we’re looking forward to taking a trip there sometime in the spring hopefully!
Hope everyone had an enjoyable, relaxing weekend! The first few days of next week will be busy for us – hopefully our wedding photos will be in (seriously. my patience is out the window as of a week and a half ago), we’ll be packing for Christmas and New Years in Green Bay, readying the house for our absence, celebrating our own little Christmas together, and tying up some last minute job and work related details. We have a lot to accomplish before our long drive to Wisconsin and some long overdue “do nothing” time, but I’ll try to stop by and say hi every day as usual.
