14 July 2008


You will be happy to know that the birthday was fabulous!  Dan baked me the lemon cake and it was delicious!  He also made me breakfast and let me groom him and dress him up for the night, although he never heard the end of it from his roommates. :)  He looked good, though.  I was so proud of him!

To celebrate the birthday, we went to this place called Lounge Lover.  It was so beautiful!  I LOVED the decor.  It was like walking in an art gallery of some sort... well, not really, but it was really ornate and very well done.  There were about 9 of us at the table.  After a drink or two there (they were quite expensive), we went to a smaller, more relaxed pub.  There, about 4 more people came to join us.  It was so much fun!  We did a little dancing and a lot of laughing.  It was great!  And not to mention, they had some Chicago beer there... Honkers Ale, which is made by Goose Island.  I was so impressed!!!

Sunday was spent mostly doing research and trying to get all of my planning done for the big trip.  I'm leaving tomorrow, but before Sunday, I had no idea what I wanted to do at each of these cities!  It was really bothering me that I didn't know what to expect, but now I have a list of things I want to do and see... hopefully the weather will comply.

So, the next time you hear from me, I will be somewhere fabulous! ;)  Hurrah!
