April Part Two

So, after the bridal shower on Saturday, we stopped by Denny and Kathy's so April could see where Josh grew up, and meet the horses. Then, April and I came home, made fajitas and went to Forgetting Sarah Marshall. The movie was pretty hilarious. Typical predictable romantic comedy, but funny just the same. There was a disturbing amount of full frontal nudity in it...which seemed odd and unnecessary...but who knows?

Sunday we wanted to go see Salisbury house. It is a really large castle in Des Moines, and they normally give tours twice a day. For whatever reason, they were closed Sunday :( So we went to Homemakers Furniture to look for a book case for Mac.

After Homemakers, and a nap for McKenna, we headed to Perry so April could check out the farm, and drive a tractor.

--can't do this in San Diego--

We ate dinner at the Machine Shed after Perry. We wanted April to have some Iowa pork before she left, and that seemed a logical choice.

On Monday we spent another day shopping. We went to Valley Juction so april could buy some authentic Iowa gifts for family and friends. Then we headed to Jordan Creek to do a little more shopping, and to eat at PF Changs.

It seems like the trip just flew by, even though I knew it would. Hopefully she will venture out this way again so we can do Salisbury house, Legends, and so the weather will get above 60 and we can actually have a bike ride down by the river!

Thanks for coming to visit April!!
