Roadtrip to Erie and back in 8 hours.
Yesterday, after all that went on in the morning with my brother-in-law, my brother and I drive up to Erie for a quick 8 hour trip. Dad’s stone (above) came in so we drove up to help mom plant some small shrubs by it. We’re really impressed with the final product and how the stone stands out when you see it from the road. Still hard for me to believe that it’s been 7 months already.
Afterwards the 3 of us went to Rum Runners on Lake Erie for dinner. The last time I was at this place was 10 years ago and I remember that myself and some friends were all about to hook up with this group of girls when we were asked to leave because one of the other idiots started with a bouncer so I just never went back. ( *ok, there maybe more to that story but that’s all you need to know 
*) It’s alright for a bar by the lake. The food was good but the service was bad. I’m pretty patient when I see a our server busy but the girl we had would just disappear. Yeah you’re hot but that doesn’t make up for the fact I’m thirst/hungry. Other tables (with different servers) were having the same issue.
The saving grace was the view of the sunset that you can see here. Besides a few friends and family, this is what I miss most about the place. When I lived in Erie I wasn’t interested in the beauty of the lake but just being 21 and drinking. The 3 of us kicked back and sucked the atmosphere in. I’ll admit, I was homesick until some drunk locals next to us started being jerks and I remembered why I only visit.
The bro and I headed back and after dropping me off at work to get my car I pulled into home about 1am. My ass is draggin today since I’m moving to a new office. It’s fun to be able to take trips like this but goddamn I’m tired.
