Visit from Jodi

Jodi Otto, one of our friends from Michigan, came to visit us last weekend!



We were really looking forward to her visit since she was a "taste of home" for us. We had a great weekend, despite the rainy, dreary weather that threatened to ruin it! We spent Friday showing Jodi Philly (in the van because of the rain), and of course getting Philly cheesesteaks! She was definitely a fan!



(isn't everyone???) Even Abbi enjoyed it, although there's not much food she doesn't enjoy! =)







After Philly we decided to go to IKEA since it was still raining and we didn't want to go home yet. IKEA is always a good idea, even if you aren't going for any particular thing. We each bought a couple of things then headed home. We spent the rest of the day vegging out and playing cards.

I had planned to hang out at the beach on Saturday if it was nice out, but the weather had other plans. it was a yucky rainy day again. jodi and i went shopping, she got her first Rita's water ice (there aren't any in Michigan), and played some more cards.

Sunday...THE BEACH!!! it was a beautiful day, although cold and windy. Nate and Abbi headed to church; Jodi, Reagan and I to for the beach! We walked on the shore for a little, admired the beautiful sun shining on the water, then hit a couple of outlets! It was a great day. We went to youth group that night, afterwards Jodi had to borrow a suitcase to pack all the stuff she bought! tax free shopping, gotta love it!





We're so glad she came, and can't wait for her next visit! Thanks for a great weekend Jodi!

IKEA, the beach, and Ritas...all in just a few days?! Amazing!! What I wouldn't do for a Gelati right now, yummy. They don't have Ritas out in MN either. :(
