Iowa Vacation June 2009

June 18th 2009
Greg and I finished the party favors and relaxed with my family enjoying some cocktails and sharing stories. My brother Ryan was flying into Waterloo Airport that night and Gregs Mom Sister Jama, brother Pat Ashley and Ethan had just arrived. They drove from Wyoming to Iowa in record time!
Greg and I planned for a little family dinner at the Brown Bottle in Cedar Falls where Greg worked during college. I found out his Mom Jan had worked there when she went to college as well.
The little gathering turned into about 12-13 people:) My Aunt Lana was able to join us as well as Gregs Aunt Susie, her son Nate, Gregs Aunt Kathy and her daughter Vaughn. It really was a fun bunch!
After dinner (in hopes of waling it off)we took a walk down main st. We window shopped and took pictures in front of the Blackhawk hotel, which is where Greg and I were staying after the reception. The hotel has been around since 1879!
Gregs family headed back to their hotel to get rested for the big day on Friday and Greg, Lana and I headed to Berks to meet up with mom and dad for a few drinks.
Lana mom and I had a blast playing pool while Dad and Greg bonded and held the bar up:)
Mom and I left Berks to head to the Waterloo airport leaving the boys behind to relax at Berks. We headed back home where Ryan and I sat on the computer and just watched some comedy skits. It really was great to have him home. The two of us haven't been home at the same time in a few years! I honestly do not remember the last time we were home at the same time! It may have been before Greg and I left for Phoenix.
Apparently we missed out on an adventure that night. Greg and Dad came home around 1:30-2:00am. They decided to hit up a few spots on the way home, the screaming eagle, loftys, Caseys 3, and the classiest place of all Hoochies haha Sounds like they had a lot of fun though!
