Weekend January 16-17
My parents surprised us by coming down for this weekend and hanging out. We got started by visiting a gun show for dad. It was okay, dad just wanted to look and we couldn't afford to buy, but it was interesting. I ran into some tea partiers and talked to them. I find their new political approach interesting, but also political suicide in our state currently, but I believe they are someone to watch. John then had this great idea of going and touring the US Razorback submarine. My dad loves to watch war movies and funny my parents had just watched a show on the submarine. John had heard of it and thought my parents would like it, and sure enough they have not stopped talking about it. So we climbed down into the sub, saw bunks, engine rooms, and missile launch pads. We walked the entire length of the sub and climbed out the other end. In all, it took about an hour. My dad was so mean to the lady leading the tour and spent a lot of time asking hard questions. After this, we ate at Larry's Pizza-a favorite of ours. Then we went to watch 2012 at the cheap theater. It cost a little over 2 dollars so dad was really confused at the low price at first, my parents want a cheap theater in Jonesboro now. That filled up most of our day and we went home-good thing I was so sick from my sinus infection that the coughing was annoying people. My parents stayed for stake conference then headed home. So it was a really short visit but a wonderful time, I love spoiling my parents they do not take care of themselves enough and enjoy live.
