Back In Virginia
After a 12 hour drive that turned into 14 hours, I have returned to Virginia. My week off was very nice, and went very fast. I left Virginia on a Thursday, drove to Indianapolis that night, and hung out with Josh and Mandy on Friday. On Saturday I drove up to Chicago to see Christina. We had a great time! On Saturday we went and ran some errands that she needed to get done, and then we went out and got some sushi for dinner. I had never had sushi before, so the experience was completely new to me. I have always had a fear of eating raw fish, but Christina really enjoys it, so I tried it out. I was pleasantly surprised by my sushi experience. I tried some salmon, some shrimp, and some squid. The salmon was great, the shrimp was pretty good, and the squid was interesting. If you can get by the rubbery texture you would probably enjoy the squid. After the sushi we went to the store and got some snacks and then went back to the hotel that I was staying at to watch a movie. We watched Walk the Line, and both enjoyed the movie. After that we just hung out and talked about everything that has been going on in our lives. I then took Christina back to the United Airlines training center, and went back to my hotel to get some sleep. On Sunday morning we got up early and went to Willow Creek church. It was by far the largest church I have ever been to, and we both really enjoyed the message. After church we got the bus to O'hare and then grabbed the train to downtown. After finding ourselves confused by the blue line train we emerged from underground a ways west of downtown. We flagged down a cab, and had him take us to the Shedd aquarium where we spent the afternoon looking at creepy fish, none of which we ate the night before. After the aquarium we went to Giordano's, so that Christina could try some good deep dish Chicago style pizza. We had a great weekend of hanging out, and were sad to have to part ways at the end of it. The rest of the week was spent sleeping and doing other various things in Michigan. I am now back in Virginia to complete, what will hopefully be, a fast second half of the semester.
