Back from South Bend

We had a great weekend with Ryan at UND. Delaney and I arrived Friday evening and were greeted by lots of Ryan's classmates wanting to meet the newest addition to the family. Later, a few of us went out to dinner, then the family headed to our hotel to catch as much sleep as possible because on Saturday morning Ryan ran a half marathon! The Sunburst Hall of Fame to Notre Dame starts at the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend and finishes at the 50 yard line of the ND stadium. It was awesome seeing Ryan complete a 13 mile run in one hour and 39 minutes, he's been training for a couple of months and it definitely paid off as he beat his goal time.
When we got back to our room it was really warm so we called the front desk to have the a/c checked. Long story short, it couldn't be fixed so we were moved to another room and given a gift certificate to a local restaurant called The East Bank Emporium. We went for dinner and the food was fabulous! An added bonus, or deterrent, our waitress swore the place was haunted.
Unfortunately, homework doesn't take a vacation so Sunday was study day. Delaney and I relaxed while Ryan busted his butt to catch up after taking the day before off. He was a little delayed in getting started when we found that one of our vehicles had a flat tired that needed changing, the only bummer in an otherwise great trip! Ryan crossing the finish line, look for the arrow over his headWoohoo it's over
