Despite the fact that our hotel was amazing, we did not spend much time there. We were having too much fun with our family at their home in Cleves. There are two things you can count on when visiting Bill, Cathy and the kids: laughing too hard and eating too much. Cathy is such a good cook and she makes sure no one leaves hungry. Some of the highlights were Skyline chili-spaghetti, pineapple upside down cake, fluffy eggs and bacon… and of course delivery pizza, because their local pizzeria is so good.
One night we teamed up for a game of Trivial Pursuit. I was on a team with Eric’s dad, Christie was with Grandma, and Aunt Cathy, Joe and Eric all played on a third team. Neal and I couldn’t seem to catch a break for most of the game. We got all the hard questions. No really, we did. Christie and Grandma had just about every question covered between them. Rarely was there a question they did not know. Eric’s team had a slow start, but ended up getting quite a few good runs and when we called the game before it was finished, they were the winners. It was just going on for too long. Who knew Trivial Pursuit Jr. could be so hard…
