Jeremy and I left on Thursday after work and errands. We were able to get to the Merricks at a decent hour, the drive was about 3 1/2-4 hours. We stayed up talking pretty late so we were all pretty tired. Jeremy and Sean were able to go fishing both Friday and Saturday mornings, Friday at Gun Lake and Saturday at Gull Lake. Friday, Tiff and I relaxed at the house, chatted most of the morning, went on a great walk around their neighborhood, sat out in the sun. We grilled out awesome burgers for lunch (Tiff, tell your Dad the burgers were awesome). Later, Tiff and I went to a few stores and had a Starbucks stop. That night the Merrick's took us to their favorite restaurant downtown Kalamazoo, Fandango! It is a tapas restaurant which was fabulous! We were all miserably full!
Saturday was a great day! Although it rained and we wanted to go golfing and was not able due to the weather, we visited 3 different wineries. Jeremy and I came home with 6 new bottles of wine!! How fun! We stopped at a roadside fruit stand and got fresh strawberries! They are awesome! We also went to a chocolate shop! The guys were troopers! Even though they really wanted to golf, they went along to the wineries. Poor Tiff got to drink some juice:( Saturday night we had an awesome dinner! Grilled steaks! I am telling you the Merricks were awesome hosts. And we woke up Sunday morning to a yummy breakfast.
Jeremy and I stopped on the way home at the outlet mall in Michigan City, Indiana. It was a good thing we stopped. I was able to get a few work things at Banana Republic and Jeremy was able to get a few work things from Haggar that is going out of business. With Jeremy's new job he will have to get rid of the warm up pants and t-shirts and wear dress pants and shirts and occasionally suits. He went into the Haggar store and got 2 new suits, 5 dress shirts, 2 pairs of dress pants, 2 ties and 2 belts. We were also able to get our Dad's some father's day gifts, all for about $300! What a bargain. We knew he would need to purchase new clothes eventually so it was well worth our stop!
Now it is about time to go back to work tomorrow! Thanks to my Mom and Steve for watching our dogs Thursday night and Jeremy's family for coming over and watching them the rest of the weekend. I am sure they loved seeing their grandparents:)
