Awake: 4:30am. K & I snuck out of our room & went down to get some coffee; we were a little early for coffee but we said our "goodbyes & safe travels" to Mary Jo & Ed who were surprised to see us in the lobby as they headed out for the airport; then a few min later, we hugged the Foote family members & said our "goodbyes & safe travels" to them as they loaded into their mini van for their trip back to PA.
We had a short time to walk on the treadmill & then, some coffee. About 5:30am, Katrina was awake & packing & so was Corinne. Just before 6:00am, the car was loaded with suitcases, my brother's suit clothes, presents from Zack & Katie, leftover pizza, Kathy muffins, apples, pretzels, rice cakes, etc.
We left the Hyatt just before 6:00am central time. Traffic was moving fast with no slow downs that we were aware of, so, as planned, we missed the early rush hour.
I drove for the 1st (2) hrs or better & then we stopped for fuel & a snack @ Fallen Timbers, Swanton, Ohio. Then Corinne drove for the next several hrs & then I took the wheel again; stopping @ Pittsburgh International Airport to leave Katrina off to get a rental car as she planned to visit for (4) days & wanted wheels.
We arrived @ Corinne's house around 2:45pm. After trans-loading our baggage & stuff, to the Suzuki, Corinne gave us a tour of her office
& introduced us to several workers & Fr. Bob.
Around 6:00pm, Katrina arrived driving her rental car. The reason she was late, she realized that when turning the car back in around 5-6 pm would cost extra & she didn't want to do that, so she waited @ the terminal for (3) hrs.
Meanwhile, Corinne suggested we go out for dinner @ Di Pietro's Italian Ristorante a few blocks away & when Katrina arrived, we all agreed.
Dinner was great: Kathy & Katrina shared a salad topped with chicken strips, French fry's, & dressing. I had a cod fish sandwich, salad & wedding soup. Corinne had a plate of chicken wings with dipping sauce. After dinner, Katrina headed to Indiana, PA & the Foote Castle for the night.
When we returned to Corinne's house, we were introduced to Sr. Sarah, Corinne's housemate, who had returned from work. We appreciated that she had gotten our beds ready for us while we were gone. After about 20 minutes of visiting, we were all getting tired, especially me; I think I was catching some kind of bug... oh no!
Lights out: 9:35pm.
