Jim Gaffigan

For those of you who don't know, Jim Gaffigan is one of Valerie's and my favorite comedians! For Christmas, Matt bought Valerie, Erik and me tickets to go see his show in Jacksonville on April 1st. Erik and I drove to Jacksonville that morning so taht we could have time to see mom before she left. (She was there visiting on her last weekend of her spring break.) We hung out and tried NOT to get addicted to their Wii (a gaming system). We had dinner at the Loop, which has pizza, sandwiches and salads. Good food.
Jim started his show about 7:30. It was a hoot! I think that all of us knew at least some of his material, but it was awesome just the same. Because it was too late for Erik and me to drive home, we stayed at the Wurdeman's new house. It's BEAUTIFUL for those of you who haven't seen it. Valerie, of course, was a good hostess and had some extra pillows for preggy. All of us, but Matt, were asleep by 9:45, so it's definitely a good thing that we had a place to stay.
The next morning, we had to have some more Wii playing time. We went to Panera for bagels for breakfast. Matt couldn't go because he had to work. :( Erik and I left around 12:15 to head home. The dogs excitedly greeted us at the door. They were well taken care of by Erik's parents while we were gone, but they are smart and give their parents a good welcome whenever we return.
