How do I begin about the weekend?! It.was.incredible! For many reasons! The main one being that my brother, Travis, and sister-in-law, Shanel, trekked out to Ohio to spend some quality time with us on our turf! Just being together was the best part of the entire weekend, but, as you know how we like to do it when we have guests in town, we also got down with some trade mark Columbus activities!
On Friday night when Travis and Shanel arrived, we headed to downtown Columbus to catch a glimpse of Highball Halloween. We stopped here for the first time together last year with my Grandparents, and we had to keep up the tradition! We once again saw some amazing (and ridiculous) costumes! But that is part of what makes Highball Halloween so fun!
On Saturday, after relaxing at the house (read: sleeping in) we grabbed lunch at Katzinger's deli and headed down to the tailgate to get ready for the Ohio State Buckeyes to take on the Wisconsin Badgers. What a fantastic game! We were bundled up and sat in a sea of scarlet while we watched the Buckeyes wallop the Badgers! It was a very, very exciting game, and after an unbelievable victory everyone rushed on the field to celebrate and bask in all the Buckeye glory! Some have even said it was the most exciting game they have ever been to in The Shoe. (Brian ranks it in his top five for your reference.) After the Buckeye game, we carried on downtown as usual after Ohio State football games and stopped at the Varsity Club to meet up with [some of] of the tailgate crew, where we also basked in the Buckeye glory!
Finally, on Sunday, we enjoyed each other's company while we made a big breakfast* together, popped into Jeni's for a quick sampling of Ohio ice cream**, and dropped my bro and sis-in-law back off at the airport.
We cannot begin to explain how wonderful it was to have both Travis and Shanel stay with us for the weekend. We had 48 hours of uninterrupted togetherness, and it was positively superb!
Please come back again, Travis and Shanel!!! We ♥ u!
*A big breakfast at the Hendricks Household involves: blueberry pancakes, perfectly fried eggs (compliments to Shanel), sausage, grits, orange juice, lots o' love, and good company!
**Jeni's slogan should be: "Jeni's. That's how we do ice cream in Ohio."
