Yaki-MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

A couple of weekends ago Bree, Riley and I headed up to Yakima. Our friend John was in a play "Something Funny Happened on the way to the Forum" and we thought we'd check it out. As a bonus Yakima is about half way between Portland and Bree's parents place, so we invited them out so they could have some Riley time.

Riley was a great kid the entire drive. We got to Yakima and found our hotel. Shortly after Bree's parents showed up and we decided to go swimming at the pool. As Bree was walking into the pool with Riley she seemed to slip and fall. I ran over to her and she told me to take Riley. Riley was fine but Bree's back had seemed to go out. A couple of weeks before this her back was acted up but it seemed to have gotten better. Needless to say this put a damper on everything. Bree was able to make it to the hotel room and get dressed for dinner.

We went to Bob's Burgers and Beer. Pretty good burgers, huge portions and Riley liked her grilled cheese. Bree was able to sit through dinner with no problem, but was not able to move much. We took her back to the hotel and she got in bed, and unfortunately was not going to be able to go to the play. I was a bit late getting out of the hotel so I just punched up the theater on the GPS and headed out. I got to the theater and it looked closed. I then realized I had pulled up the wrong theater, I did a search for another one and it was 4 miles away.

Once I got to the theater I went to the box office to get my tickets. Of course I was late and had to sit in the back, luckily there was not a large crowd and I was only in the 12 row or so. The play was great, very funny and John was excellent in it. After the play John and I went out to eat. We tried Abby's but they were closed. One of the only places we found open was Red Robin.

I got back to the hotel and Bree was sleeping. We got up the next morning and had breakfast with the in-laws. Bree was still very stiff and once we got on the road she told me that she might have to go to the emergency room once we got back into town. I was trying to get home as soon as possible and of course a cop caught me for speeding. $113 later we were back on our way. As we approved Portland Bree called the advice nurse and she told us to go to the urgent care. Riley and I dropped her off and we grabbed something to eat. Bree called and we went back to pick her up. The doctor told her that it was a flare up of her syatic nerve, and not a disk.

So while it was nice to see the play, John and the in-laws, it could have been a more relaxing weekend.
