That's right! It's that time of day (or night, or evening, or morning, or whatever it is where you are reading this).
Time to inform all of you lovely listeners about our wonderful time with Nina's great grandparents (not "great" in relation, but great as in wonderful, awesome, and amazing! Just want to make that distinction).
This "great":
Great!
Not this "great":
Ahh, here they are:
So, what did we do with Nina's grandparents? Where do we begin? Oh, at the beginning, you say? You, smarty pants, you. Just to spicen things up, we'll start at the end and go to the beginning. From the end to the beginning? Look out, Brian and Nina are blogging crazy style.
So here we end:
Grandma and Grandpa left this morning. A bittersweet moment; especially considering all of the Vick's caramel popcorn we had all consumed in the last few days.
Be prepared, we are about to break away from our main story to go off on a necessary tangent:
Side note: Vic's popcorn!: Amazing!Wonderful!Yummy!Delicious! (That's right, Vic's popcorn is so amazingly good, it defies standard writing conventions). Ironically, we are eating some Vic's caramel popcorn right now. Yaya!
Back to our regular show:
On Saturday, we all toured the whole of North Platte. Literally; well, literally, in a sense (confused yet?). We learned about the history, heritage, and culture of North Platte and Greater Nebraska at the Lincoln County Museum at the Lincoln County Historical Museum.
From mammoth bones,
to civil war cannon balls,
to early photography equipment,
the Lincoln County Historical Museum had it all. (What? You say our pictures don't match up with our descriptions? Hmmm....weird).
But the Lincoln County Historical Museum (or LCHM, if you are feeling lazy or tired) didn't stop there. In the back of the museum is a whole town. That's right, there is literally (yes, literally) a town behind the museum, complete with three different antique homes, one blacksmith shop, one Fort McPherson station, one school house, one church, and two barns full of farming equipment.
And, oh, we almost forgot, an amazing children's playground merry-go-round!
Weee!
Wooo-hooo!
Umm...Nina, you're about to fly off. Maybe we should stop now...
Before the LCHM, we had all enjoyed our North Platte Farmer's Market and historical car show. Very sweet (Nina's grandma bought some local tomatos) and very spicy (Brian bought three different types of peppers).
And finally, to begin, Brian and Nina enjoyed many great meals with Nina's grandparents, but even more great laughs
(yea, just like that)
As we recounted some of our past memories and current adventures. The visit couldn't have gone smoother.
Thanks grandma and grandpa!
Welp, it's that time again. Time to hit the hay!
We had a great time and love your new town! And, yes, we broke out the rest of the Vic's popcorn for dinner last night. So good! Thanks for all your hospitality. See you at Christmas. Love you both.
