Baby Georges Arrival

So we are now t-minus 15 hours from lift off and an additional 15 hours from landing half way around the world. The last troop for the trip has arrived in Baby George meeting up with Gordon and I this afternoon. The day itself though began with a lovely trip of Gordon and I having a cute lunch date at IHOP before he gave me the grand tour of Rutgers University. The IHOP was tasty but the service was terrible as the waitress managed to not offer refills, bring the wrong eggs for Gordon, and take what felt like as long as the flight from Raleigh to Philly between each visit to the table. After IHOP we had a couple hours to kill before Baby George was getting here so Gordon showed me all of Rutgers. This was actually pretty cool. The lack of students because its summer was probably deceptive to my first impression, but I still feel like I have a good idea of what the school is like based on Gordon's unique descriptions of campus life (which is not very similar to Wilmington at all).

After the tour of Rutgers Gordon and I made it back to the house in perfect timing because Baby George pulled into the driveway no more than 2 minutes after we walked into the house. With the wolf pack nearly completed we decided to go see a movie the movie of choice being "A-Team." The movie was actually pretty good. For a shoot-em-up movie it really seemed to hit the spot with a slight love story and some well timed comedic relief as well as a not too predictable plot I would actually recommend seeing "A-Team."

When the movie ended we were all starving, so we decided to have our last meal a place where we could practice our chop stick technique without being completely embarrassed like IHOP this morning when I used the chop sticks my little brother Sam lent me, and probably in the process unintentionally caused the waitress to avoid our table from embarrassment. So we decided to eat at a Thai restaurant called Four Seasons which Gordon insisted was the best Thai food around. The food was actually really good and the hole in the wall restaurant actually was a diamond in the rough that would take locals to know about.

So with a delicious meal in our bellies we made it back to Gordon's house to relax and hang out, while we continued to catch up and prepare for the unpredictable adventures that Max has planned for us TOMORROW.
