We were on a mission! Dave Guerin, one of the mids, is dating a girl at Franciscan University (my Alma Mater); so we grabbed a couple other midshipmen (John and Alexander) and made our way to reunite the two "love birds".
This gave me an AWESOME opportunity to get some good, quality time with the guys. We had a blast driving to Ohio and conversation never ran dry. Upon our arrival, I introduced the fellas to a bunch of my college friends. After grabbing a bite to eat, we went into Pittsburgh for a night of festivities at Hofbrauhaus, a German styled brewery. We danced the night away as the band played some upbeat tunes and traditional polka. It was such a blast!
The next day we went to a packed 10:30 Mass on campus and then went out to our favorite morning brunch spot, State-Line. Super cheap and very delicious. I'm continually amazed by midshipmen and their appetites... definitely a "miraculous" experience. Logically, food was followed by an excellent nap.
We woke up, worked out, and then ate dinner with Josh & Maggie Sweeney, which was a great opportunity for the guys to witness their beautiful, new marriage. Josh is one of my closest friends and it meant a lot to spend time with him. Finally, to top it all off, the guys went swing-dancing with all the Franciscan girls :) For some reason, they really enjoyed that!
Monday rolled around and it was time to depart, it was time to finish our adventure! The ride home went smoothly and the trip was a great success. It was a packed weekend but I sure did love spending time with the guys. There's just something about a road-trip that brings people together!
