Bachelors

Well our girls are gone. They left bright and early yesterday morning with a few small glitches. Lets see, we got up at 6 so that we could be on the road for 7 and at Buffalo airport for 8. (I love that airport, so simple, easy and cheap) Everything went smooth at check in with both bags under weight, Laura was worried that the bags were going to be too heavy. Said our good byes and the girls waited around to find out that their flight had been cancelled. Something about the plane in Boston could not make it to Buffalo, technical difficulties or something. So a small detour through New York and then Boston and everything would be alright, except they lost their luggage. I guess the bags did not make it to the flight going to New york and instead they just sent them on the next flight to Boston from Buffalo. My last text message from Laura said they are safe and in Ireland now.
So what did two handsome bachelors do during their first day, go on a shopping spree of course. We started at one of my favourite American stores, Target. We picked up a pair of jeans and a cool T for Nyles. From there we went to the galleria and hit Dicks Sporting Goods. Nyles picked a pair of sweet Vans there. Next, JC Penny where Nyles picked up another pair of jeans and some badly needed socks for both of us. (Has anyone ever figured where all the socks go to in this world. I have dozens of single, odd socks) After Nyles' shopping was done I hit the shoe stores and scored my self a pair of Puma's, Adidas' and Asics'. All this shopping had these men hungry so off to our favourite American restaurant Cracker Barrel for some home style cooking. With our bellies full, we filled up the car and headed for home.
Day one of bachelorhood completed. Other plans for our ten days include, ice fishing and snow shoeing at my mom's and Great Wolf Lodge for a few days.
