Hanging Out in Ohio

The fun in Ohio continued with a quick shopping trip to a bargain store called Gabe's.

Steve found a sweet Wii jacket. Too bad it had some stains on it...




Once Phil finally got back from work and we met up with May, Anthony and Su-Kyi, we all headed to Sugarcreek Sweets for some funnel cake. Nothing like dessert before dinner!





The best part was it's not just regular funnel cake (although they have that too), they also had ice cream funnel cake - mini funnel cakes with ice cream and various toppings. Phil and I got the banana split funnel cake with bananas and strawberries, plus a mango smoothie. Yum!

Afterwards we headed to the YMCA Dream House, but more on that later...

While we were heading out of the Dream House parking lot we came across a truck with some very interesting decorations...Again, wrong on so many levels...



And as if that wasn't bad enough, the truck also had this very strange bumper sticker...I guess it's kind of hard not to buy Chinese considering so many things are made in China.



For dinner we headed to Hunan East, the restaurant we fondly refer to as the garlic restaurant because all of their dishes are cooked in tons of garlic. It's wonderfully delicious.



We ordered tofu wrapped shrimp, kong shin veggies, beef and sour veggies, beef and flat noodles, and another beef dish I can't remember...basically there was a lot of beef. The other thing that's great about this restaurant is they have a menu that is an entire binder full of pictures of every single one of their dishes. That way you know exactly what you're getting.


At the end of the meal we got the customary fortune cookie. My favorite fortunes were the ones that Rebecca and Steve got. Separately the fortunes weren't anything special, but when you put them together they fit too well - it makes you think maybe there's more to these fortune cookies...although in this case it might be bad if that were true.

Steve's fortune reads: An old love will come back to you.
Rebecca's fortune reads: All things have an end.

Weird right?


And then it was back to Rebecca and Steve's for video games and a movie. But not without playing with the baby first! Phil's teasing Su-Kyi with a piece of candy...so mean...

It was a short weekend with the old gang, but we had a great time.
Hopefully we get a chance to visit them again soon.
