Whirlwind Weekend

What a weekend!  Saturday morning I got up early and ran errands from 7-9:30am. Then I took Jess to her tennis lesson, ran another errand, then picked Ben up at home and we were off to the airport. While waiting for our flight, Ben attacked me and we got in self defenses. He was uncomfortable with all the stares, but I just made it goofy and fun. We flew to Detroit and went to my former roommate's house for an early dinner, then off to park for the football game.  With the record crowd (115,109 people!), we had to park 2.3 miles away. (I got my run in by convincing Ben to jog it, although we did a lot of dodging people!). It was an awesome game. Michigan beat Notre Dame 41-30 at their last scheduled game in The Big House. We walked back to the car and got to the hotel at 1:30am. We got up at 8, showered and caught our 10am flight. Ben's baseball team was playing their last game in the tournament this weekend at 2pm in Gastonia. S we went directly from the airport to the baseball game.  His team played well but lost 6-5. Then we came chime and its been all requirements, laundry, and prep week the coming week.
