whirl·wind  

–verb (used without object)
1. to move or travel quickly.

I took last week off from work.

Saturday, I went to the Czech Festival in Wilbur, NE, the Czech capitol of the US with Margaret and Ben. Lot of accordions, people dressed up in old fashioned clothing, Czech beauty queens, dances and even a parade.

On our way to the festival, Margaret stopped by this old man's yard sale and I ended up getting $25 really nice cowboy boots. Cowboy and Indian House party at my house soon!

Then Sunday, Seth and I flew to Baltimore at 5 in the morning, checked into our very nice hotel and then went out and ate a dozen steamed crabs and explored Inner Harbor.

A little about our hotel - super nice people, free hot breakfast and hot dinner?! I have stayed at many hotels, and first hotel I have ever been to with free hot dinner and it was so good. Free shuttle within 5 miles (perfect for the airport, light rail stop and Amtrak)

Monday night, we went to the Oriels v. White Sox baseball game at Camden Yards and went to the pub nearby and grabbed a couple of beers. Dinner at the hotel was pulled pork sandwiches, corn, green beans, salad.

Tuesday night, we went and ate a feast at Phillips Seafood Harborhouse after we went out on the paddleboats (just like in 10 things I hate about you). We also had ricotta stuffed shells, mushrooms, salad at the hotel.

Wednesday Night we went to DC in the evening and walked around all night. We ate mexican at the hotel, chicken, steak, tortillas and tortilla chips, salad, etc.

Thursday night we flew back. McD's at the airport. Hollar.

Friday we closed on our house and we moved all the boxes out of our apt to the house. Some homecooking from the mother-in-law.

Saturday, Rouse came over and helped Seth move the furniture. We then went to Mongolian Grill, it's a buffet, only $11 a person and so good!

Sunday, we cleaned our apt and went to Ribfest. More yum yum in my tum tum.

and today, I'm back at work.
