Wendi's Philly Trip

Another trip for Wendi for work, and Kelly's opportunity to enjoy the children to himself :) Daisy returned to SD, so it was just the guys at home. I think they managed pretty well, and the house didn't look too bad either. Kelly worked with Aidan to fall asleep without mommy, and to sleep through the night better. We'll see if it holds out.

Wendi went to Philly for a school food show. It was fun for the most part. Long busy days without breaks or meals. I think I had the worst nutrition ever, pretty bad for being at the school nutrition show! It was good to work with the sales force, and see the people I work with over the phone. The customer appreciation party was a good time. I learned some interesting things about a few co-workers :) I also had an authentic Philly Cheese steak, wit and whiz. (with onions and cheese whiz)

The highlight of the trip was the impromptu road trip to Yankee Stadium to watch the Twins. My first pro baseball game, and what a place to go! With this being the last year in the stadium, it was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Good people, good fun and great memories.

However, all good things must come to an end and the trip home brought the fun to a crashing halt! Because of bad weather going through the eastern coast, our flight was delayed several times until it was canceled 5 hours later. By this time, all the flights out for the next two days were full. That meant we had to either stay in Philly until Saturday (no way!) or find another flight. Thankfully Chad and the Schwan's after hours travel found us a flight on Thursday at 7:20 in Harrisburg (90 miles away). So, we rented a SUV and drove through the night, slept (napped) for 2 hours in a little hotel and then caught the flight to MSP, and then proceeded to drive the remaining three hours back to Marshall.

I've never been so happy to be back home. But, one hour with the boys, and then they headed to Appleton with Noreen for the remainder of the week. We of course went and got them after work on Friday, and have been enjoying the weekend at home together, with no big plans.
