So we have had quite a week around here. We had to take our youngest son to get his military id renewed. Since we were already going to Hershey Medical Center on Wednesday for our second son, we decided to combine the trips into one. The two boys, Dennis and I left the house around 8 am and followed the GPS' instructions to get to Carlisle (the nearest location to renew a military id). We were directed to get off of the main road way before we expected to do so. But we wound up liking the back road we went on for the most part.
We completely missed Harrisburg and some other high traffic areas. When we arrived at Carlisle, the GPS brought us in the back gate, which was perfect for where we were going. We found a parking spot and walked into the ID center. There were several people ahead of us. So we sat and waited. Finally it was our turn. We quickly completed what was necessary to get the id and were back on the road. By this time, everyone was getting hungry. So we started to decide where we wanted to eat at. We finally decided on Mexican. Several years ago, we found a really good Mexican restaurant in the area. So we used the GPS to find it. Although, the area had changed so much that we were not sure we were at the right place. Once we walked inside we knew we had though.
Dennis and Joseph ordered a chicken dish with jalapeno peppers. Nathan ordered the fajitas, while I ordered chimichangas. The meals were fantastic. We really enjoyed our meals. We then continued on our way to the Medical Center. We arrived at the medical center and followed the directions provided to us. We finally found a parking spot (it was quite the adventure) and went inside. While our second son located a bathroom, Dennis and I located where we were going (this was our first time ever in this medical center). Once everyone had used the facilities, we went into the clinic.
We knew we were about an hour early, but decided to check in anyhow. Surprisingly, when we got back to the waiting room, our son was almost immediately called back. By the end of his appointment, I knew my son was exceptionally flexible (which I already knew) and that he did not have Marfan's Syndrome. I also knew my son thought it was really fun to have a geneticist, a genetics counselor and a medical school student all in his room at the same time. I also found out our son is well over 6 feet tall now.
To finish off our week, our microwave oven died. This is a tremendous tragedy for our family. It is used to make tea, prepare lunches and even fix dinner at times. So with a broken microwave, it is not a good thing.
So how has your week been?
