A Weekend in Starkville (Erin) (Archive)

This past weekend I traveled to Starkville to visit Gerrit! I don't go over to Mississippi as much as Gerrit travels to Auburn because we have a lot of friends we regularly hang out with in Auburn. So it is a nice treat to take a trip to see Gerrit, especially since I get to go to my favorite restaurants!

Friday night we went to Mugshots, a bar and grill with delicious hamburgers and sandwiches. The thing that makes their food so great is their bread--it is buttery and sweet! After eating we went to his friend Amanda's Labrats comedy show. It is an improv comedy group (kind of like Whose Line is it Anyway?) and the show was HILARIOUS. We laughed for a full three hours and fully enjoyed it.

Saturday was a nice relaxing day. We got some homework done, went to eat lunch at Chick-fil-a, and browsed around the bookstore. In the evening we went to the spring football game, which to me didn't matter all that much but to Gerrit it did. As much as I love football (particularly Auburn), spring games are so uneventful because no one cares who wins.

After the game we went to my other favorite restaurant--Stromboli's. This is a little Italian place with delicious pizza that has crust more like sweet dough. It is also very small and often extremely crowded. It is a very popular place to eat, but they only have about eight tables inside! After Stromboli's we went to get ice cream at Bop's, which actually isn't ice cream but delicious frozen custard.

We had a great weekend of relaxation and laughter and great food!

Now if only the end of the semester would get here...
