Memorial Day Weekend Vacation, Day 4

Day 4 of vacation was Memorial Day.

We woke up a bit late, but still made it to the Memorial Day parade in Centerville and saw Jen’s son marching with the band in the parade.

After the parade was over, we headed over to Four Seas for some ice cream; luckily we got there way before the rest of the crowd did, so we were pretty much in and out. After that, we drove around for a little bit and went out for lunch at Craigville Pizza. We went inside and split a small pizza between the 3 of us; it was so incredibly yummy!

After lunch, we decided to take the rest of the afternoon easy before going to Matt’s parent’s house for a barbecue, so we went back to the room, where we watched some tv while Jason took a little nap.

On our way to Matt’s that evening, we stopped off at Jay’s old job, White Hen. He got to see his old manager and a few of his old “regulars”. They remembered Jay well, and they all talked for a few minutes and caught up with each other. After White Hen, we had a quick potty stop to make at the gas station down the road (too much water that day!!!!) and THEN it was off to Matt’s.

We got to Matt’s and the barbecue was huge; they offered us everything. Jason was only interested in the cake and the in-ground pool. Unfortunately, it was too chilly for the pool at that time, so we were lucky with that. He LOVED the cake though. Towards the end of the evening, Jenny came by and we got to know her a little better through both of our “how we met our husbands” conversation (both of us met our husband’s online!). After Matt’s, it was back to Otis for our last night and time to pack up. Luckily, Jason passed out on the way back to Otis and was out for the rest of the night, so I was able to pack up most of our stuff and have Jay re-load the car back up with no problem. Afterwards, we ended up with another relaxing evening of just watching tv together.
