Happy Memorial Day to all! I love Memorial Day weekend because it's the unofficial start to summer. The extra day off of work is also a definite plus...We have had a busy couple weeks with traveling and working and such.

Last weekend, I had the honor of being a bridesmaid in Jodi and John's wedding. For those of you who don't know, Jodi was my roomate in college for 4 years and remains a very close friend.

The wedding was very fun. As you can see, Dennis enjoyed himself with all the ladies (including myself of course!)

My mom and dad also came to visit this weekend. They are too cute with their matching Buffalo T-shirts. Since my mom has been out of comission for the past year with foot surgeries, it was the first time they had seen the house. We went on a tour, out to dinner, to the casino, and even Niagara Falls.

Of course they had to test out the Wii. Mariocart was the favorite this weekend.

We had to take in the Memorial Day parade this morning. It was quite an extensive show. They don't throw candy anymore at these parades. When did this happen? I don't like it one bit.

We took a nice long bike ride this afternoon. Poor Dennis...he ran a half marathon yesterday and I had him out there pushing the pedals today because I'm in running withdrawl. He held up pretty well.

We rode for about 2 hours along the river and Lake Erie. We went through some parks, some neighborhoods, and of course stopped for ice cream. It looked like it was going to storm for awhile, but luckily the rain held off. Beautiful day!

The coolest part was coming across this broken down old building. We had no clue what this was ever used for, but it looked pretty sweet.
The inside was all covered in graffiti, but here you can see where a spiral staircase used to be.
Hope your first weekend of summer was good! We are going to start up the grill and have the traditional Memorial Day cookout now. Enjoy!

That is a pretty cool building, I wonder what it was!? Looks like you've been busy! Cant wait to see you this weekend. The dogs are ready for Molly to come over and play! Jenn
We had a great weekend with you. Thank you for all of the tours of Buffalo in such a short time and Dennis with a race the next day. We really appreciated it. Love the house, so cozy and homey, great job on the man room. Would advise all to stop over, try out their new deck furniture and eat Dennis's wonderful grilled cuisine. It was all perfect. Thanks again,
