Weekend Thoughts

We spent the weekend in California for Dave and Audrey's wedding. It was a whirlwind weekend, and congrats to both of them on their marriage.

  • Having lived in the Bay Area my whole life, it is a bit annoying having to drive 2+ hours to go to the airport. Yes, there are closer ones than Chicago-Midway, but if I have to fly from that airport to Chicago-Midway, why bother?
  • We received our wedding photos over the weekend. It's going to take a while to get through all of them, since there is over 1500 of them. But Brynn posted some to Facebook, and I'm hoping to post a few in a future post here as well.
  • I can't decide whether the toll roads in Illinois and Indiana are nice or annoying. They are very empty, very little traffic because of the tolls. But the majority of them have speed limits of either 45 or 55 mph, as opposed to freeways which may have up to 70 mph. Then the fact that the tolls are $.50, $1, and $.60 in some places, just seems really strange.
  • I have only been gone from California driving for 2 weeks, and I can tell you I don't miss it. The drivers in general are unbelievably bad. I don't know how I put up with it for that long.
  • While waiting in the airport in Oakland, this guy was hanging out waiting for his flight. Talk about a flashback. If you're not sure, this is why he's famous.
  • It was a bit strange being in the office at work, especially since I'm fairly certain that will most likely be the last trip into the office as an employee. It was definitely good to see everyone though.
