The day finally came where something Don and I had planned actually fell through. Had to happen sooner or later, right?Originally we had planned on going to State College to check out his old haunts while getting the chance for me to go to a Barnes & Noble for the first time. However, he suggested meeting in Warren instead then driving to Erie to shop.
After Driving about 2 hours I met him in a Perkins parking lot and followed him to the motel. After checking in and taking our things inside, we hopped into the "short bus" and headed to Erie. Along the way, I talked Don into stopping for fresh strawberries from a Farmer's Market (Which he doesn't eat. What's wrong with him?) while he continued to ask me if we made the right turn or how many exits it was until our exit (I had no clue where I was or where I was going).
All and all though, the trip went smooth.Despite the fact that I didn't bring my camera and had to take photos with my cell phone. There were a great number of things I could have taken photos of, but was too caught up in conversation or enjoying myself to really stop and take them. I bought four books, while Don had and entire series of books been bought out from under his
nose. (Only Don.) Then we went to Red Lobster for Dinner. I'm not that into sea food. In fact for the most part I don't like it, but the crab was good and the lobster was alright. And so, a good time was had by all.We headed back the way we came and tried to find a music store only to find that the mall had 2 stores and 2 salons. Where the stores went no one knows, but Wal-Mart was a dud too. As Don like music by artist that no one has EVER heard of. We thought of seeing a movie, but went back to watch T.v. instead. We got ourselves some Ranch Doritos and Sour Cream and tried to get comfy. I could complain a great deal about the night the two of us had, but why ruin things? We just decided that we'd go the the hotel across the street next time. =]
Since neither of us slept so well, he got up and got himself some coffee while he left me sleep until about 10:30 or so. Once I had gotten up, we got ready to leave and went to have lunch before going home. This is the part of the trip I think I loved the most. The Plaza Restaurant. This place had such a comfortable atmosphere, great service, great food and plenty of it. I would Highly recommend this little Greek restaurant to anyone passing through Warren. That glorious thing to the left is a Rodeo Burger. BBQ sauce, onion rings, a
nd American cheese on a toasted bun. It was AMAZING! Don had himself his usual(as it is his "favorite little place" in Warren) meatloaf and gravy with a side of mashed taters. It was in this pleasant little eatery that I snapped the photo at the beginning of this long and drawn out entry. What a smile, eh? He's so "Fuckin' cute". *Bats eyelashes*There are more photos for the trip on my flickr page.
