A Weekend in Suburbia

This past weekend the Engineer generously invited me to join her on her trip home to the suburbs.  Having never really been to the suburbs before, I took the opportunity and purchased a bus ticket to head north.

Our adventures began on Friday afternoon when we took a charter bus back to her hometown.  The bus was the first foreign concept to me, as none of the charter buses stop in my hometown.  After arriving in the suburbs we ventured to her high school's homecoming game, which other than having about twice as many people and amazing fireworks, was virtually the same as any homecoming game I had been to before.

Saturday, after taking a tour of her ginormous high school, I got to experience the awesomeness of eating at a restaurant that has been featured on Food Network's show Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.

It was delicious, I would recommend it if you are ever in that area and looking for a good burger.   Not only does the Engineer's hometown contain the Paradise Pup, they also lay claim to the original golden arches.  As we drove by the original McDonald's building I pulled a total tourist moment and snapped a picture. 

After all the adventures of Saturday, Sunday we laid low before heading back to Chambana.  

Thank you to the Engineer and her family, I have to say my first real adventures in the suburbs.
