Weather

The weather today is nice. Not quite as beautiful as I thought it would be because of the wind. I was hoping to read on the patio this afternoon with a yummy beverage in hand but I guess it's a little too early for that yet! At least it's not like last Sunday (pictured).

Erik and I went for a nice walk today through campus and it was a bit chilly but so sunny! We saw a giant beetle of some sort, about the size of two quarters! I wish I would have had my camera on me. Tomorrow we will go to Mom's and enjoy grilling out on the patio in the warmth of spring!!! No more snow this season- YEAH!

Afton House Inn

Erik and I enjoy a wonderful stay at the Afton House Inn in Afton, MN on Friday night. The weather was decent enough so Erik and I walked along some trials behind the Inn. We had a delicious dinner in the Wheel room. Erik and I both had a Caesar salad that was made table side. For my main course, I had scallops and Erik had duck breast. It was so fun and a great experience. I think we both had a little too much wine but at least we just needed to stumble upstairs to our room. It was a nice, relaxing stay and so much fun!!! Thanks Charleen and Steve!

Spring Break 2009

I have had a great spring break. It was so nice to be able to have a week to visit friends and family and have FUN!!!! I also was able to do plenty of relaxing which was needed. I would have loved to have gone somewhere warm...because it definitely wasn't warm this week....but that's okay. Maybe next year???

Here are some highlights from my spring break week:
Dinner with Allison, her parents (Lynn and Bruce), my mom and Erik. Then it was time for some:

ROCK BAND!!!!

Underwater Adventures with Mom and Erik at the Mall of America. This was Mom's 50th time (probably!) to the M of A but her 1st time to Underwater Adventures and she loved it!


Erik and I also had a nice dinner with Michelle, Neal and Clyde. It was so fun to hang out together for an evening. Clyde is sure a talker!!!


On Thursday Erik, Mom and I went to see Allison perform in Chalkboard Capers. She did awesome and we especially loved the "Thiller" dance.


I also had some great lunches/dinners with friends and did a lot of scrapbooking.
