the in-laws have arrived

My in-laws are visiting this week!

They took a long road trip over the last week and a half and are finishing out with a visit to us. They arrived on Friday night and after a quick tour of the house changes we hopped in the car and headed for dinner. We ate prosciutto wrapped pears and artisan pizza out on a patio with Christmas lights overhead while we talked about their trip and the things they did and saw all over the west.

It was good to have them here again. They normally make the trip down to us once a year (typically in November around Bill and Paul's birthday) but this September weekend worked better. It's the first time they've probably seen our grass green.

Saturday we slept in, and then lazily laid around the house drinking coffee and having breakfast before heading to the mall for a few errands and some shopping. After spending some money and a few hours clothes shopping we headed to RePUBlic OKC for lunch and the Michigan vs Notre Dame game.

For those of you that don't live in OKC, you are missing out on some of the most fabulous food. We ate and ate and ate and ate. There's nothing on the menu there that isn't delicious and since we knew we'd be there so long we had the biggest meal we could fit. We shared a scotch egg, truffle potato skins, coconut shrimp and a pub pretzel for an appetizer and then of course I had the Classen burger which, let me just say, will knock your socks off if you don't have gall bladder problems from all the other things you ate first. The game was fun to watch and Michigan won, so Paul was happy, Bill not so much.

We spent the rest of the afternoon lounging, watching more football and taking naps before we ended the evening with some Orange Leaf for dinner.

They're here until Thursday and we plan to take a mini road trip throughout Oklahoma tomorrow. And then Paul and I will be back to the office while they finish resting up before heading home.
