Well, Nate is now three months old, and we've been a bit busy lately. A couple of weeks ago, we decided to try and catch a little bit of the 'The Office' convention, which took place up in Scranton, Pa. It went on from Friday to Sunday, but it rained on Saturday, so we didn't want to take him out in that. We drove up on Sunday, drove around the town for a little while trying to find where it was actually taking place. It was supposed to be at the University of Scranton. We were thinking we'd just park somewhere on campus and walk around, since there was supposed to be a festival "all through town." The website said that fourteen characters from the show would be there, and we may see them around town. That's the whole reason we went, b/c we didn't want to spend a lot of money and go into any of the festivities that weren't free. We figured we'd at least get up close and personal with one of our favorite cast members and maybe get an autograph. As we were looking for a place to park, I noticed three of the cast members walking along the sidewalk! I was so excited! It was Oscar, Meredith and Creed. I shouted out to them, along with a "Woo!" Well, after a bit of driving, we finally found this one section where a band was playing and a couple of tents were up, and some vendors were set up. That was it. A few people were standing around, enjoying the local band, and we walked around a little bit. It was pretty cold, so after a little while we headed back to the car. I had to feed Nathan in the car for the first time. I never knew how comfy I'd be feeding him while we were out and about, but I didn't care. I just knew he needed it right then, and I figured why mix up some formula and make him wait longer when I can provide the food? For free. Since then I've fed him five other times in the car. It's not the most comfy place, but it works!
After we left the "festival" we decided to drive across town to the next place the cast members and writers were going to be. There is this train and trolley museum, and they were having a wardrobe exhibit there. We would have had to pay to get in, so we just walked around outside and looked at the huge trains they had, and got some pictures. Man, are we cheap! We didn't see anyone, so then it was off to our last stop- the Steamtown Mall. I got excited when we saw a crowd gathered in the middle of the mall, but alas, it was something for America's next top model or some such stupid crap. I did get a picture of myself in front of a cardboard cutout of the cast of 'The Office', which was nice! LOL!

This was a view at the museum, with an incorrect date on the camera! Arrrggg!:
And this is me and the boy in a parking garage in Scranton! Yippee!:
