Weekend road trip

Over the weekend, Dennis and I drove to the Home of the OSU Buckeyes, Columbus, Ohio to visit our good friends who live in North Columbus.

Saturday, after eating a wonderful lunch prepared by Peggy, we women went shopping while Dennis and Dave drove Italian cars. Dave has a Ferrari 308 just like Magnum PI used to have. He also has a Fiat X 1/9 like Dennis’ (but yellow) and they drove them around on the premise of burning off some stale gas so Dave could put fresh gas in them for the Winter. Sure guys. Whatever! Anyway, Peggy and I went to Filene’s Basement and Stein Mart. For dinner, we all met up again and dined at Bone Fish. Dennis had the Swordfish and I had Rainbow Trout with warm mango salsa. Both were excellent! We also had a nice Ecco Domani Pinot Grigio. After dinner the men trotted off to Best Buy to look at mini laptop computers while Peggy and I went to World Market for yet more shopping! We drove back to their place and settled on comfy furniture and watched some college football and talked.

Sunday we had a leisurely breakfast of coffee cake, which I had made, and coffee. We went to a local place for lunch. Some of us had breakfast type foods (omlettes and home fries) and some of us had calzones. Wonderful food! Then we parted company for, you guessed it, more shopping!! We were in the big city after all! The guys went back out to purchase a mini laptop for Dave and Peggy and I looked at baby stuff and women’s clothing. We went to Marshalls and Home Goods which is discounted home goods; crockery, cookware, furniture, linens, specialty food items, home decor.

By the time we arrived back at their home, it was time for us to head back North. We stopped in Ada, Ohio, home of Ohio Northern University (where Dennis was at university) for supper at Taco Bell and arrived home at 8:00 P.M.

We really enjoyed our visit with our good friends.

Why does time pass so quickly when you are having a good time?
