After a 14+ hour trip we made it to Rochester yesterday from Green Bay. Alison slept over in my dorm last night-- which she discovered is ridiculously small! Took a walk around campus to show her around and then hung around with everyone who was already back from break. This morning we woke up at 6:45 to go to IHOP with my parents and Sarah before they all headed back down the road. Unpacked and such until Ashley woke up and then we went out to buy some of her books for next quarter and get some juice from Wegmans for her. Came back and then got invited by Drake to go to the mall so we walked to the Library and caught the shuttle over to the Marketplace Mall. Walked around the mall for a few hours just looking at stuff for fun and then came back here for dinner and a movie (The Holiday) in our dorm room. Now we're listening to christmas music and making snowflakes for our door and windows!
I've been absolutely horrible about updating over break and I apologize again for that. However, my justification is that I was having so much fun relaxing and seeing people that I didn't even have time to slip away and write about it. And you know what, that's just fine with me. These are afterall my memories and this is simply a way to share some of those with you. I think we'll go with a nice photo wrap up of the break and leave it with that. Hope you all had a great thanksgiving!
We had an excellent time in Green Bay, as always. It's always nice to catch up with family and hang around for a week. On the way up we stopped in Bloomington Indiana to see a volleyball game and also look at where my dad used to live. I'm pretty sure I ate more this week than I did all quarter (just kidding... sort of =) ) Uncle Dan has become master chef and lives in the kitchen starting each meal just minutes after we finished the last one. Uncle Mark and Aunt Barb made the trek to get 11 delicious pies (which we got to start eating earlier this year!). And, of course, Grandma's cookies and rolls! Yummy. There was lots of pool playing, air hockey-ing, swimming, walking, biking, movie watching, reading, and general hanging out going on throughout the week.
