Best Weekend Ever

T and I had a great weekend. First, We left Friday morning and we dropped the kids off at Granny and Gramps. We went to Mt. Pleasant to see Loretta Lynn at the Soaring Eagle Casino. She was AMAZING. Seriously, We both agreed that we were witness to a living legend. If you have any interest in music, especially country music, I suggest you look into seeing this woman. Ok, that was Friday night. We stayed in Mt. Pleasant, and Drove to East Lansing Saturday morning. For my birthday, T had gotten me MSU football tickets for that evening. T fell asleep on the way down, which gave me a chance to drive around East Lansing and to check out my old stopping grounds. I knew she would have no interest in that, so I let her sleep. When she awoke, I promised her we would do some shopping. So, we went to Okemos to the mall. I wanted to get to campus, so I was very antsy while shopping. Finally, we left the mall, picked up a sandwich from Subway, and some beverages from Tom's, and found a parking spot on campus. We had our little picnic, and then took a walking tour of MSU's campus. I was a freshman at MSU 20 years ago, and it seemed like yesterday. I showed T all the spots that I had classes, or visited for whatever reason. We watched the marching band practice, and walked by Sparty. We finally made it to the game. It was a night game, so it was very energetic (that means everyone has been drinking all day). We had seats right next to the student section. The game was chock full of offense, and MSU won, so we had a great time. We went back to Granny and Gramps for the night. On Sunday, we spent the morning with Granny and Gramps, and drove home with the kids in the afternoon. We stopped on the way and picked up T's Mom to watch the kids, because T and I had a double date that evening. Yeah, I know! We met a friend of Teresa's and her husband for dinner. We then went to a haunted house. I haven't been to a haunted house in I don't know how long. It lasted about 45 minutes! It was very good. It was in an old run-down prison. The same prison that they have used to film many movies at (Shawshank Redemption for one). The scariest part was when they told me tickets were $15.00 apiece! Now, THAT was a 3 day weekend! We had a blast!

Wow, how fun!!! Did you look at Emmons Hall? Did you order pizza from a "rape phone"? Did you refer to T as the hot babe you picked up at the mall? Sooo many questions....

If you were a freshman at MSU 20 years ago, that means it's been 19 for me. HOLLLLYYYY cow.

And did you guys hang out at Soaring Eagle at all? I was there with Paul (he had a conference) when I was pregnant with Maggie and it was the smokiest place I'd ever been. The grounds are pretty though!
 
yeah, we went to Emmons, you needed a swipe card to enter the residential areas. Darn. We didn't order pizza from an "emergency phone". Did I do that once? We hung out quite a bit a Soaring Eagle. It was VERY smokey! It made me glad that Ohio banned smoking in all public buildings.
