Early Christmas in PA...



Marilee and I flew out to Cleveland the weekend of Aaron's Birthday and rented a car and drove to State College to see the kids for an early Christmas. The drive out was quite spectacular as the snow / frost was sticking to everything. It was if someone (actually God was that someone) had painted the landscape to a beautiful white / gray scene you would typically find in a gallery. (no pictures ;-(..)We got to the condo about 500 ish and had a great evening getting re-acquainted with the grandkids. They were so anxoius to open gifts but we promised them that we would do that Saturday night. Saturday morning Marilee treated the ladies to a nail salon treatment and they all got their nails done (again - no pictures..) We spent the afternoon in the town of Bellfonte expierencing EXTREME cold weather as Amy and Marilee went to see several Victorian homes decorated for the holidays. Adam and I kept the kids busy and then met the ladies for dinner, a nice Italian dinner in a pretty neat little town.. I would reccomend the dinner and the town again in warmer weather, it would be a good motorcycle destination. The kids were great that night (after the Creamery on PSU campus - a can't miss ice cream stop) when opening presents which is where most of the pictures are from. Sunday I went to church with Amy and we had just a great relaxing time finished off by a fabulous dinner prepared by our gracious host and hostess. We talked 2010 reunion and many other things getting caught up on plans for 2009 and beyond. As Amy always says, they love company!
