24

Day Ten 5/19/09
24

While I was in Europe I missed the season finales of many of my favorite shows. Beck hadn’t seen the finale of 24, so we met up this morning to watch it. It was good but I found the ending a little annoying. I’ll stop there because I don’t want to ruin it for any of you who are yet to watch it.

After lunch I went to Panera to work on my blog and grab some lunch. Post lunch I did some shopping for Ben’s birthday present. In the evening the family minus Jane, Pete and Ben, went to Friendly’s for dinner. I had an especially nice time talking to Judy and Granny. Andy was also super entertaining. The girl likes to eat. At one point she had an apple slice in both her hands and in her mouth.

At 9 p.m. I met Ben, Leah, Mike, and Chelsea at the bowling alley. It was fun to finally meet Chelsea, Ben and Leah’s best friend. I’d heard a ton of “Chels” stories, so it was fun to finally have a face and personality to put with the name. Ben and I also did our best to put on a bowling show for the people on the lane next to us. They were convinced we were in some kind of league and the funny thing is neither of us really bowled that well.

Another fun part of bowling was finally being able to give Ben his birthday surprise. For Ben’s 18th birthday I planned a surprise trip to see Mat Kearney live with Keane in Upper Darby, PA. He and Leah seemed really pumped about the show and I am equally excited. The concert is tomorrow, so I need to call it a night.
