Parent Overload

Well today was family day. My parents were in town because my mom had some kind of dinner thing in DC this evening. So we were supose to meet them around 10am in DC, maybe go to the Smithsonian or something. We ended up just meeting them for lunch.

We went to a sport bar called Tommy Joes (maybe?), because we were also meeting family friends (good friends of my parents) and the husband of the group wanted to watch the Michigan football game. So we head down for the 12 o’clock lunch. After 15 minutes we finally find somewhere to park, yay closed streets and parking garages.

We get to the restaurant and the family friends are there but my parents aren’t yet. My parents arrive shortly afterwards. We had a nice lunch, though it was fairly loud with the football game on all 8 or 10 tv screens in the place. Talked to everyone and spent about 2 hours there.

We head out and say bye to my parents. Then we head back to our car. We are only about 15 minutes from my inlaws so we decided to stop by and visit them.

We had been talking about visiting them tomorrow, but the traffic is supose to be horrible tomorrow. So we drive over, and surprise them, since they weren’t expecting anyone.

We hang out with them from about 2:30 till 9:30 talk and have dinner. It was nice, and we got all caught up. My father in law is retiring at the end of the month, and they are going to Paris for 12 days in November which sounds like a lot of fun.

Over all it was a nice day, but dang there were a lot of parents seen and talked too!
