Our first stop to "civilization" was Seattle. At least, SeaTac. Art was hanging from the ceiling above us while we enjoyed some burritos from Qdoba. We arrived in Chicago late in the night and Ryan's mom and her boyfriend picked us up from the airport. After a long drive home and a good night's sleep, we continued our food journey with eating at one of my fave restaurants with former co-workers. After a haircut and some shopping, I met up with some of my favorite people at Johnny Bz for vegan hot dog goodness! I also got to see this little guy, whom I missed very much.
Next, we met at Stella's downtown to see more of my favorite people!
We stayed the night at my parents' house. After some breakfast, we drove back to Sue's for the next few days. It was Ryan's birthday! Happy Birthday, Ryan! We gave him some presents. Neyla, the dog featured two posts ago, got to "play" with the wrappings.
The next day, Ryan stood up in a wedding. I went with Sue and Dick. Between the full Catholic wedding and reception, we spent some time in downtown Grand Haven, looking at different houses, the lake and soaking up some atmosphere at a new sports bar that opened.
