Rochester adventure Day 2


   We awoke early. We had another awesome day planned.  We got our first complimentary hotel breakfast. It had everything--eggs, sausage,bagels, cereal and a pancake machine!!  kath won't let me get a pancake machine. Ah phooey.  Then we decided we would celebrate national record store day. Its a special day in america where record stores--yes some still exist, get special albums and singles by different artists. This is special indeed because most music  is released on cd and mp3 these days. We went to a cool store called record archive  which sells everything from records to cds to dds to vhs tapes. It was really cool and reminded me of buying records as a kid. I used to love singles or 45's. I still have a pretty cool collection. No record player to play them on though. Made me feel really old.

  Next up--the main event. The wedding of Kath's dad and Margaret. It was a really nice ceremony. Diana and  my niece and nephew were in the wedding party. Everyone at the church was really nice to us. The reception was great as well. The food was amazing. I ate really good all weekend. The happy couple would be honeymooning in our neck of the woods--Niagara Falls Canada. They were gonna be in canada a day earlier than us.

  On the way back to the hotel we took a side trip to a comic store in downtown Rochester--Park Avenue Comics. Kath got some Wonder woman socks. We also left gygo business cards for the owner as well. They had the card we left in December hanging up on the wall. Yup we're famous.

We rested a bit at the hotel and then went to meet Rose for dinner at a diner called Johnny Rockets. We'd been there before and it has a happy days feeling to it. Our waited kinda sucked though. Was in a rush to get us out of there. Went back to the hotel where i watched a bunch of Friends episodes and Indiana Jones and The Temple Of Doom. Good times.
