Kalamazoo!

Most of the laundry is done. I got some sleep. I went grocery shopping. I just finished reading 300 blog posts in my blog reader and even commented on a bunch. I haven't uploaded pictures yet, but here is the vacation recap!

It was a good time! When we go up to Michigan, I try really hard to meet up with as many friends and family that I can, since we don't get up there too often. And even though I got to see lots of people, I wish I had a few extra days to see more. We did rent a car this time, so that I could easily drive all around to visit people and go shopping (thank you economic stimulus check).
I did get to see some friends from high school who I have not seen in at least 8 years, which was AWESOME. I had dinner with Mandy S and talked baby, and I also went out with 4 of my bestest friends from high school, Mandy K, Kate, Kelly, and Janelle. We stayed out way too late (well, by my standards) and had way too much to drink (again, by my standards - I RARELY drink). But I had a blast, and I have never laughed so hard in my life.
I got to visit with my grandma and aunt who I have not seen in a couple of years, which was nice. Saturday evening was a beautiful wedding of an old family friend. Had fun dancing (I can't dance. Really. No one in my family can. I did anyway.)
We did go up to Gun Lake, and although the weather was nice for June in Michigan, it wasn't exactly beach weather. Emmy had a ton of fun playing with her cousin, Sophia and Ray's cousin Libby. I got to go shopping at all the same old stores I grew up shopping at, got to eat at old favorite restaurants, got in a quick visit with my good friends Andrea and Mike.
The airplane rides with Pooky were awful. He screamed bloody murder for the last 30 minutes coming home, with is SO upsetting, I could NOT calm him down, he was flailing his arms and legs, arching his back, he was MAD. I will not be flying with him again until he is a bit older, that's for sure. Emmy was an angel. She was very well behaved the whole trip, and she spent lots of time with Wama Tunu (Ray's mom).
Overall, a great week, I am sure I am forgetting some stuff, I will do pictures tomorrow (hopefully).
