cleveland, erie, the peak - oh my!

Todd's apartment - quiet, serene... ready for weekend football. Arrival: Jamie Arrival: the Moms Arrival: Bethany --- Lucky Todd.

Jamie and crew visited dear Todd (to see him) and to be closer to Erie, PA and Peek'n Peak Resort for happy fun wedding planning. Before the girls got down to business, everyone met up with Bethany at Bahama Breeze for mojitos and margaritas - oh yeah, dinner too. With a "what's that ring on your finger" from the server and a "she does that" from Todd -- there was quite enough ammunition for Sonny the server to use on the to-go boxes (drawings). Jamie made sure that Bethany had that extra mojito so that she'd have an excuse to take the keys and drive little guy (the new mini) to Todd's. Just looking out for a friend, that's all.

Todd hid in bed as the girls got up early on Saturday morning and headed out for the big day… all was well once Starbucks was found. Hey Bethany, do the Bucks play tonight (says a guy with an OSU hat) – “YES THEY DO! It’s at 8!” Classic Bif.

The day was scheduled perfectly and the crew went from the cake lady’s purple abode to the chair cover rental (where you can also conveniently pick up a kerosene heater) then off for lunch. After Bethany’s inaugural visit to Sheetz for the next round of java, the ladies headed to the florist. It was time… after 2 hours, Jamie conceded that she was excited about the cake and flowers. With a thumbs up from Bethany who wouldn’t be?!?

The car was pulled towards the Peak after the last appointment... after being derailed by wedding crashing (Patty! Get out of the ceremony!), shopping at the gift shop, Bethany's favorite cabbage and a missed eagle photo op -- it was time for THE FRENCH CREEK TAVERN!

I know what you're thinking -- that strange Bethany and her cabbage... really, it was pretty great:

Definitely not better than downing a half pitcher of Amber Bock while our wings were packed up for the drive back to Todd's. Todd made sure that we had a warm welcome back by Brutus! Poor Brutus didn't get any Amber Bock or wings, but he did get some lovin' from Bethany.

To round off a perfectly wonderful and productive weekend... we found Sue's dress for the wedding at Nordstrom on Sunday, picked out Todd's birthday gift and the boys tuxes. Oh yeah, we're good. Just another 4 months...
