Boy, we had planned everything out so well for the wedding that I was certain that these last few days would be calm and relaxed; they are anything but. Lots of last minute errands, lots of people in town, running around. I can barely catch my breath. Not in a bad way–it’s just busy.
Despite having 7 people stay at the house last night and most of the day today, we still managed to get a lot done. Kelly and I were up early and took care of a few errands and chores. Later in the morning, Doug, Rachel, me and the kids went over to one of the playgrounds here and let them play for a while. I called the restaurant for the rehearsal and confirmed everything with them, so we are all set for tomorrow.
Kelly’s parents went to run some errands of their own and we headed over to Clarendon for lunch. Chili! Yum! We took Kelly’s laptop to the Apple Store to have it looked at for a fan problem. They couldn’t fix it under Apple Care because of some physical damage to the machine, and it’s not worth paying what they were asking for to fix it. Oh well. After that, we ran errands. We picked up our tuxedoes and made sure they all fit. (There was a minor issue with my jacket, but it was resolved quickly.) We ran to Target to get an idea of price and availability of Rock Band. (We didn’t buy anything.) We went to Shoppers to get some beer.
By then, Mom and Dad had arrived into town so we headed home. Doug and I headed up to Pentagon City to pick them up. We got them back to the house and at that point, we really had a full house. 9 guests!
stubiebrother , Doug and I headed up to Lucky Strike for two hours of bowling and drinking. It was a lot of fun. I did good the first two games, two 114s. Three strikes in one game. But I tanked after that. Jason ended up with the highest score of the night, breaking 170 (I think he finished with a 174). We finished around 9 PM and headed back home to play Rock Band, which we borrowed from a friend for the evening. (Thank you, Kevin!) I played until about midnight, when I needed to call it quits. Busy day tomorrow and I was tired.
Doug and Jason continued to play into the night. I have no idea when they finally gave up.
