They Followed Me

I survived two weeks in Kansas during tornado season. I'm in Maryland for 5 days and what happens? Yep, tornadoes. We had to shelter-in-place at work on Wednesday afternoon because of a tornado warning. They're investigating 3 tornadoes in the D.C. area. Craziness...I think the tornadoes followed me home!

Kansas - May 19 to 30th

So I spent two weeks in Kansas for work. I did get to come home over the weekend, thankfully. I didn't end up getting to see much of Kansas, and specifically Lawrence, because I was working crazy hours. My coworker and I explored downtown Lawrence along Massachusetts, had some great food and browsed the shops. I took a bike ride one day thanks to a bike-loaner program at the Holiday Inn Express I stayed at. My coworker and I also took a trip to the Kansas City Zoo. The zoo is absolutely huge and very nice.

And that was about all I had time for. I didn't even get to use the hotel pool or go to the movie theater that was 100 yards away. We were so busy at work! Oh well, it was a good trip all-in-all. No tornadoes!!!

Cleveland - May 11th

For the weekend, Matthias and I flew up to Cleveland to get the grand-slam of spring celebrations. We missed Andy's 30th Birthday and Dad's birthday in April but made it up for Lucas' 1st birthday party and mother's day. So, everyone was happy to see us because they all got presents. Mom, Dad, Matthias, and I took a quick trip to the Cleveland Zoo. Unfortunately, it seems to be undergoing a lot of renovation and upkeep and a lot of animals were not on display. Some photos from the weekend...
