Cleveland

On March 24th Annika, Noelle and I made the 6 1/2 hour drive to Cleveland to visit Kristi. (For those of you who don't know, Noelle and Kristi are two of my good friends from Richfield. We've known each other since elementary school). We had such a great time!

Our last night there Kristi's very nice husband, Mike, babysat Annika while the girls went to the show "The Color Purple" at the Palace theater. It was a fun girl's night out. Annika had a good time too. Mike took her to the park and bought some books to read to her on his way home from work.
The funniest part of the trip is that after 16 years Kristi finally finished signing Noelle's 8th grade yearbook and returned it to Noelle who after all these years had never forgotten that Kristi was the last person she gave it to and never got it back from!
The trip was over too fast, we left on Thursday, but we were so glad to discover that Cleveland and Kristi are closer to us than we realized.
