Reunions and Timeshares




So this past Saturday was Chris' 10yr high school reunion, and although I had to drag him there kicking and screaming...well ok maybe he was right...So it really wasn't what I thought it would be. Well we got all dressed up( I thought we looked pretty good) and headed on. We were the first ones to arrive, then right behind us were two guys that Chris knew. He introduced me, and the first thing that one of the guy says is g.d. lets get drunk... Ok not my definition of a good time at all. So we halted basically and turned and went the other way. So after getting our pics taken we went into the banquet hall and found a seat at the table farthest from the bar.

As the night went on and people arrived, they seemed to engulf the bar, I believe that out of the 65 people that were there, there were probably only like 4 or 5 of us that were not drinking. Well we finally got to eat after waiting 1.5 hrs over what was supposed to be dinner time to get our food. At least the food was pretty good. Well the guy that ended up sitting next to me was pretty nice, and there was a couple there that go to the same church as Chris' parents, so Chris was talking to them on the other side. But as soon as we finished dinner, we politely got up, and left.

We went to Krispy Kreme and got a dozen doughnuts, went back to the house and straight to bed. Yeah we are old, but we're happy.

Sunday after church we went out to lunch with Chris' parents, and some others from church. Then we were on our way to the next stop.

See at the air show that we went to a few weeks back, we filled out a door prize slip, and ended up having our names drawn for a 3day 2night trip to Williamsburg, VA. Along with which came a $125 visa gift card and 2 tickets to Busch Gardens, all we had to do was listen to a 90 min. presentation. Yep that's all, and we get all of that!! Ok really... So we get to Williamsburg Sunday evening, and immediately hit the Christmas shops(if you don't know me well, I am a Christmas FREAK!!! The only reason I don't have my decorations up yet would be b/c I am deathly afraid of spiders, and my decorations are upstairs in the attic) We checked in, and went back out checking out the town. Monday morning was our appointment for our 1.5hrs. Next thing we knew it was 2.5 hrs later, and we were talking to our guides supervisor and she was "giving us better rates"...After declining yet again, our guide takes us back to the place we began only to walk into a room filled with more people and round tables...about 45 min. later we were leaving, exhausted and starving. No we did not buy a time share. We did get 2 free t-shirts, but wow those people were BRUTAL!!!!

Well all in all we had a great trip, it was so nice being able to relax just Chris and I. What a weekend we had!!
