Tennesseans

After my non-nap (let me whine a little more about it), a group of the bride's friends from college (Union University in Tennessee) picked me up so that I could be the Peoria tour guide for the night.

Some tour guide. They already knew exactly what they wanted to see (which is good because I am highly uncreative), and I hadn't been to 75% of the places.

Dinner was at a Peoria landmark, Agatucci's. I've lived here 22 years and never been inside that I can remember. I'd say it's comparable to Avanti's with less atmosphere but possibly better food, at least some items. Their specialty pizza was excellent.









Did I mention I was tired? I'm sorry for not being a very enthusiastic tour guide folks.









I learned about what kinda crazy stuff Jeff (guest Palmer?), Julie, Jess, Emily, Fred, Dustin and Kendal have been up to since college. Janna, you don't count because you are still in college. Fork was also very entertaining.




Next stop was the Peoria Riverfront. Well yes, I've been there many times. But we started from Hooters (yippee) and walked our way down. I had never been that far. Thank you city of Peoria for NOT turning on any of the pretty light posts in that area for us to enjoy...annoying.



Once we got to the familiar areas with lighting, it was clear how the recent river flooding had washed up alot of still moist muck onto the sidewalks. Not fun to walk through. Jess is so brave.






Despite the NAP everyone else got, we were all too tired and unadventurous to move on to something else. After about an hour of driving (I'm not complaining...just sayin') it was time for bed and my last night at the Dryer's house. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to hang out with you Tennesseans!
