Mason City

My weekend in Mason City! It was awesome. I drove down after work and had the joy of driving through an hours worth of fog, from just north of Owatonna to just north of Mason...yag. I hate fog, it's worse than snow! Snow and ice, you just drive really slow, but fog...well. It was not good. I made it to mason and it was clear and beautiful - got to see where Andy works all day - not quite a cubbie, not quite a palace. We headed to Fort Dodge on Saturday after we'd finally woken up (felt good to sleep in a bit) and took the scenic route through Webster City - what a cute town! Gonna have to drive that one when it's not raining sometime cuz there's some shopping that must be done there. Fort Dodge has a Fazoli's!!!!!!! and Andy let me pick where we ate late lunch!!!!! woohoo!!!!!!!

I got to see the babies in Fort Dodge...I decided I can't determine my favorite of the babies until I've had a ride in each one. I'll have to fill you in on that sometime later (the babies are cars, of course).

Went to a cool little bar with good food called Lefti's for supper with his parents. Good fish and chips, excellent loaded nachos. We didn't get home until 9 or so as we "had" to go to Target after dinner and then ended up sleeping too late for church. Whoops! Ended up with a bit of an ice shower so didn't head back north to MC until about 3, but then had a fun meandering drive north. Andy's gonna be once fantastic road trip partner!

The weekend was a great eating weekend with anything from subway to Lefti's to Chef's Kitchen and a fun one to get to know Andy's parents and Sam, his dog. Fort Dodge is a neat little town, just like Mason City!
