Friendship: Michigan Style

Finally some time to update on this past weekend. Friday I took work off to meet Jes and Jeremy half way in Ohio. Jeremy had worked the night before, got off at 7:30ish, and planned to drive him and Jes 8 hours to MI. I said NO. After grabbing some lunch, we hit the road back to MI, where Jes and I saw a dead deer strapped to the trunk of a little white car. We got our traditional Chinesse Food and went back to my place. We spent the night hearing new music from Jeremy at the park that overlooks the city and then some warm drinks at The Bitter End.


Saturday:
We all slept in my room. Jes and I shared a bed as tradition dictates, but the air mattress we had was not comfortable AT ALL. We met Katie for breakfast at Marie Catribes, a resturant in East Town. I was glad to introduce my GR friends to my Ireland friends. After breakfast we went to Meijer and purchased Nerf weapons for the impending Zombie game later that night and then on to Robinette's. Then a walking tour of GR and dinner at San Chez. It's a tapas (small portions) resturants and I loved sharing this experience with my friends.

Jes took these next few.

ZOMB
Saturday night we bundeled up and headed to Cascade Park to do battle against a Zombie horde. This game was organized on Facebook and about 200 people showed up to play. OBJECT: to survive. We started out as humans trying to survive, but our team got picked off pretty fast and so we joined the Zombie horde and took as many humans down as we could. Unfortunatly we didn't get any picture of this. After the game we headed to the park that overlooks the city. We sidewalk chalked and looked at the stars.



Sunday:
I made apple fritters for the guys and then we headed to Mars Hill. Although Rob wasn't teaching, he introduced the guest teacher and Jes and Jeremy were pretty excited to see him. After church we drove to Holland State Park. Neither one had seen Lake Michigan before. We kababed it up and fed seagulls pieces of onions.



Sunday night we relaxed and watched Hot Fuzz!


Monday
We hit the road around 9am. Once in Ohio I started to drag about not needing directions. Half an hour on the wrong exit I ate my words. We got to Upper Sandusky around 2p, ate some Steak and Shake, and said our goodbyes. :( Jes and Jeremy still had about 8 hours to go to get Jes back to Virginia by her midnight cerfew.


We'll see each other agin in Novemeber. We're meeting up for a concert in Jeremy's hometown. These two are wonderful!
