Weekend Recap

Mainly for Bridget and Brian, who couldn't join us in South Bend this past weekend...

• DC to Indy (plane), Indy to South Bend (car) - eh... probably the last time for that.
• Would it kill Indiana to build an honest-to-God interstate between Indy and South Bend? That drive should never take 4.5 hours.
• Little cousins playing together? Awesome. Little cousins playing together after 9pm? Not so awesome.
• South Bend liquor store workers are quite the friendly lot. The legendary stories of Grandma T negotiating the prices on handles of Captain Morgan are suddenly more believable.
• 16oz Miller Lite's and Mustard-Cheese dip are not a suitable replacement for breakfast and lunch.
• Notre Dame defensive line? Not so great. Notre Dame jumbo sausage dogs? Great.
• Bruno's is a shit-hole. Literally. Although, I would beat a man to death with a shoe right now for a couple slices of that supreme.
• Zoe (7p bedtime) up past 9p two nights in a row = totally awesome plane ride home!

All in all, an enjoyable weekend featuring an Irish win. I'm honestly shocked that everything worked out as well as it did considering the hectic scheduling. I was bracing for a fiasco. Regardless, it was good to see everyone during the brief interludes of activity.
