Our weekend was everything I was hoping for! We left right after work on Friday and drove to Bloomington, IL. It was a beautiful drive and we made great time! It look us about 2 1/2 hours to get there. We found the hotel, unloaded our stuff and went for an adventure.
First, we wanted to find the location of the MOD. We knew we were meeting up with people early Saturday morning and wanted to have some idea where we were going. We drive around town for a while with the help of "Ella" (our navigation system). Once we felt comfortable with where we were going, we had dinner and headed to bed.
The next morning, we got up early and went to meet the "guys". Nick has been talking with a lot of these guys online and was looking forward to meeting them. We all met up and "oooh'd" and "ahhh'd" over the cars for a while. There was another couple there that we hit it off with quickly and we spent most of the day with them.
MOD itself was really cool! Some of the cars were amazing and you could tell that people put a lot of love into their cars. There were door prizes and Nick ended up winning a $350 cold air intake filtration system. That was really cool! They served lunch and we took a factory tour. We got to see the assembly lines and got to see a real robot work. It was neat!
After MOD, we went to a local mall and walked around and then had Japanese for dinner. We went and saw Money Ball. Good movie!
Sunday we slept in, had breakfast and hung out until check out time. The drive home was uneventful. Last night, we watched the Colts game and had dinner with Matt and Trina.
It was just the kind of weekend I needed! Relaxing! No stress. Just nice. I was able to get my homework done before we left, so that was really nice to not have to think about!
Today, back to the grind... :-) I did move desks at work and now I have a much bigger cube. I love it!
