Weekend Extravaganza

Jenny and I had quite the busy weekend. It started off with joining friends at my favorite pub in Fells Point, Slainte Irish Pub. They have excellent food and a fun atmosphere. And, it's one of the only places that has soccer showing on all the TVs. This was followed by karaoke at another bar nearby, which was for Johns Hopkins prospective graduate student weekend.
The next morning was our gym's Spin-A-Thon to fight Diabetes Fundraiser. We intended to only go for 2 hours out of the 4 total. However, we decided to stay for a 3rd hour. Needless to say, we were extremely tired afterwards, enjoying a movie and pizza at home.

Later, we went to REI to buy a tent, since both Jenny and I are looking forward to camping and backpacking when the weather gets a little warmer. We then met Mom and Dad R (who arrived in town that evening) for a delicious dinner in Virginia. Out of excitement for having a new tent, Jenny insisted we put it up in the living room of Mom and Dad's hotel room. We ended up sleeping in it that night. It's too bad we didn't get any pictures of it...

On Sunday Mom and Dad G came out to Virginia, and all of us had a nice brunch and visit. Then, as a severe winter storm (according to Maryland) was brewing, we parted ways. We had a really nice weekend. It even got extended since both of us had the day off on Monday, due to the inclement weather.

  2. The picture was taken just before we started the spin-a-thon. Later pictures show a lot more sweat and fatigue! :)

  4. Also, we are (at least I am) making nasty faces at the camera and the instructor later.
