Quick Visit

300 miles here, 300 miles back. Only about 9 waking hours spent with me in the cities. Gotta love parents =). This time they decided to stay with me at my apartment which was fun!
.
We chatted about everything from A-Z with the roommates.
My roommates fiance' almost ran over my dad in the parking lot
We ate yummy apple crisp, and went to bed.
.
The next day they came to school with me! If you don't know my dad...he LOVES to talk--to anyone and everyone which made coming to a class with me verrry interesting. They came to class on the day we were talking about Feminism--of which my dad is a bit critical...but still open minded towards. Needless to say, he loved that the class was highly discussion based. He started getting really into it and answering many of the "opinion" questions...which was fine.... until he started finishing the professors sentences...then I had to tell him to shush. =). But my professor thanked him for being so involved in class--because it got all the students really into the topic as well.
.
Then we went shopping in the Bethel store and each got something..Thanks dad!
They also came and did my quick 45-min post office shift with me...after waiting for my dad to finish talking and joking with my boss=).
After working we had a [surprisingly] delicious lunch in the Dining Center...which my parents also loved because they could "people watch".
Then they came with me to my department's offices and met some of my professors--with whom they had very lively conversations with!!
All of my professors said they really enjoyed meeting and talking with my parents and commented on how talkative and enthusiastic my dad is.
It was a quick trip so my parents could see my school firsthand before I graduate in December.
Quick...but packed with lots of fun and entertainment! I love my family...a family who can have fun even during a typically mundane tuesday at school.
