Midland, MI

This weekend, I went to visit my interviewer and her family in Midland, MI.  It's about a 2 hour drive from here and it's mostly a 55 mph 2 lane (one each way) road the entire way.  I got there around 11 Saturday morning.  Just in time to watch  the end of the soccer game.  We had grilled cheese for lunch an then one of the other PSU alum/recruiters came over with her 18 month old son and the two little ones played while we watched the other game.  Then a quick dinner of fajitas and off to the Loons game.  The Loons are Midland's minor league baseball team and they play at Dow Diamond.  It's right outside of the Midland plant (Dow HQ) so I got a little overview of the plant from the outside.  At the game we almost got hit by 2-3 foul balls.  The the wind was blowing so hard towards us after the game during fireworks that we were getting rained on by the cardboard outer casings of the fireworks.  I didn't know I needed to bring my PPE (personal protective equipment - in this case safety glasses) to the game!  Today was watching the morning soccer game, a picnic lunch, then trying to drive back to HB in torrential downpour!  It was a really fun weekend!
