Parents Weekend

So what's new with everyone?
My parents came to town this weekend and this is how our weekend went.

Friday
*Ate at Denny's, gave my parents the grand ole' tour o' Rock Island, Moline, Davenport, Bettendorf.
*Hit up Isle of Capri Casino in Bettendorf. Now we've been to every one of the three in the Quad Cities.
*Came back to my room. My parents stayed in the dorm. We watched Arrested Development DVDs I borrowed from Aaron and did laundry until we fell asleep. Sometimes I think my parents can't sit still longer than 5 minutes. On their vacation they did laundry?!?

Saturday
*Had a donut at the South Park Bakery in dowtown RI.
*Went to Amana, IA to check out the historic Amana Colonies. Really there's nothing there to see, because it's all commercialized and stuff, but I do like how the buildings are set up since they're the same ones the Lutheran immigrants who lived in Amana dwelled in. The museum cost buttloads of money so we didn't go in. Best part? The many local wineries and their taste testing, and this Ox Yoke Inn family style dining. They bring you home cooked style food, like a plate of corn per table, mashed potatos, gravy, bread... you know just as if you were at home passing the stuff around. It was decently priced for all you can eat side dishes.
*Came back to check into the Four Points Sheraton in downtown RI.
*Mom made us go to church.
*Back to hotel, went swimming downstairs, probably one of my only swimming opportunities this summer, which is sad for me. Mom and Dad didn't get in though, they just sat on the side.
*Mom and me got into the whirlpool when my dad went upstairs to relax and watch TV. The whirlpools were in the locker rooms so my dad would have had to go to the other one. Except with a heart condition you're not supposed to get in one.
*Went to eat at Bennigan's which is like Shenanigan's, connected to the hotel.
*Out of boredom, went to Jumer's Rock Island Casino, my least favorite of the three. Didn't spend much money or time there tho.
*Back to the hotel, watch Fool's Rush In, relax, sleep

Sunday
*Sleep a little later than the day before.
*Stay in the hotel until 10, we wanted to use it as long as we were paying for it.
*Headed to Augie and fixed my bed from when we rearranged stuff on Friday.
*Went shopping at Kohl's.
*Ate dinner at Harris' Pizza- not bad but I don't recommend the sausage at all.
*Relaxed in the dorm until 5 or so when my parents left.

You know I don't know if anyone else gets this, but ever since I was little, I'd get extreme anxiety when being around somebody for a long time and then not being with them. I got the same thing when I was younger and I'd have someone stay the night. I'd have the same thing when I spent tons of time with Andy on graduation night with him staying the night and onto the next day with grad parties... and I have that when I'm with my parents all weekend and suddenly I'm alone.
That's one of my favorite things about living in the dorms at school. You're really never alone. Here, the people I met and didn't hardly even know are leaving Friday because summer school session 1 is over. I suppose new people might come, but my internship is half over so I won't know them any better.

I'm currently at work, wishing I had something to do. I'm not really in the mood to write a story today that I'm not interested in. I wish I had some good ideas...
