This weekend Anna and I went to the Twin Cities. Dale is skiing the Birkebeiner ski race (whether permitting) and flew in from California this weekend. Sandy and Kat came down as well, so we got to spend some time together. Of course, no trip to the cities would be complete without a trip to IKEA.
Additionally, my parents and grandma were flying down to Florida for the week, so I met up with them at Jay's new house. Lindsay was also in town for the MIAC swim race. She brought me some Career Builder merchandise as she is now employed with the company. (I'm a little sad that they monkey commercials are no more...)
In addition to seeing Jay and Tabby's new house, I got to play with Alex and Haily. This picture below was taken in between "flying" the kids around the rooms. As you can see from the background, there is some more painting to do. The curtains in the background and the bedspread we are on were made by my mom for Alex's room.
When Anna and I first moved to Platteville, I was excited to find Sprecher root beer in the local grocery store. Shortly there after, they stopped carrying the Milwaukee beverage, and I became bitter. Jim got me hooked on the stuff in grad school and I had hoped that moving to Wisconsin would provide an abundant supply. In a surprise move, I checked in the soda section this past week and I found that the root beer is back. Hooray!
