Weekend with Jill & Geoff

So, Jill turned the big 2-7 on June 25th, and ironically, that was the same day that she and Geoff were coming to College Station for the weekend to visit. Geoff was in from Pennsylvania for a couple of weeks and we had a really good time getting to know him better!

Friday night, we ate dinner at Beefmasters in College Station. As we were about to leave, we decide we need a picture of the 4 of us. Jill jokingly said we should take it with the back of this girl's shirt that works there and as we are laughing and Jill is still joking to the girl (I think...), the girl turns around and poses and they snap the picture. It was pretty hilarious, but at least we got the restaurant sign in our picture to remember the evening!
Since Geoff had only been to College Station one time, we had to take him to Northgate for a drink. It was early enough in the evening (we don't do much of the "10:30 or later heading to Northgate" stuff anymore), we got a table on the rooftop of The Corner bar. Even though it's only a couple of stories up, the view is great!
The next evening, we celebrated Jill's birthday again with Tomatillos Enchiladas - THANK YOU WHITNEY! - and a dessert we now know as "Jill". Funny story - Jill tried earlier in the day to describe this delicious dessert someone at Church made recently. We searched the internet, we discussed, and Jill even called Linda Kirchoff to see if she had the recipe. But, we had no luck, so we just made it up. It's a mixture of angel food cake, pineapple, cool whip, sweetened condensed milk, yogurt and I don't know what else. But, I wrote it down and it was delicious! It was pretty funny on Sunday night, when we asked around the table "What do you want for dessert" and Geoff answers "Jill" just like it was no big deal!
We also got to play Chinese Checkers when they were in town. Typically at our house, we play dominos or cards, but recently we acquired this old Chinese Checkers board and marbles that belonged to Vic and Jill's Noni (great grandmother). It was really special to play on such an old family game board! I can't even remember who won now...probably Jill!It was a really nice weekend and we cannot wait to have them both again!!!
