Last Day of Fall Break

It felt great to sleep in this morning as we had pushed it pretty hard the past three days.  Brett had to work breakfast, but was home by ten.  Doug had the Ticket to Ride board set up for him when he arrived.  Doug wanted to avenge his loss from last week and was successful in his quest with one of the highest scores recored by our family so far.  While we were playing, I texted Meg and Cal to see if they wanted to join us for lunch on Kirkwood.  Cal had to study, so he declined, but Meg was ready for Chipotle.

We picked Meg up and met Brett at People's Park.  He drove separately so that he could walk to work afterward and maybe the comic book store if he had time.  Brett, Cam and I chose Noodles & Co for lunch while Doug walked down to Chipotle with Meg.  Once everyone had their lunch, we picnicked in People's Park.  It was a gorgeous day to eat outside.  Before Brett left for work we talked him into trying a Bourbon Ball.  He liked it as much as he did the bourbon he tried when he was an intern for Larry Bucshon.  We then dropped Meg at Read and headed for Syracuse.  The trip home was a little stressful as I became sick, but we made it with only a few stops.

The three of us were happy to be home.  Our fall break trip was a lot of fun, but exhausting at the same time.  It was nice to have an afternoon to relax.  Cam used his time to finish a presentation on LSD for health and watch the Bears game.  It was as disappointing as the Lions game he watched on the ride home.  Doug mowed the yard before exercising.  He finished just before the Bears kickoff with the Vikings.  I unpacked and started the laundry.  We went to dinner at Huntington St. and then called my parents up to play Oh Hell.  It was a nice way to end a wonderful fall break.
