Dad's Birthday

This year for Dad's birthday we decided to take him downtown for the day and take the Chicago architecture tour along the river and lake. It was a beautiful day and the tour was great. If you haven't taken it before, I would highly recommend it. I think this is the third or fourth time I've taken it, and I learn something new and interesting about the city everytime.

After the boat tour, we walked over the the famous Billy Goat Tavern and Grill for a "cheezborger." If you're not familiar with the Billy Goat, it was the inspiration for the vintage Saturday Night Live skit with John Belushi. Another fun "must see" if you haven't been before - super old little dive with great greasy burgers. But they don't let you order a single - "DOUBLE CHEESE THE BEST!" "NO FRIES, CHIPS!" "NO PEPSI, COKE!"

Anyway, after that we went to Elephant and Castle for an assortment of huge desserts - yum, and then back here to hang out with the boys a little bit.

It was a fun day. Dad, I hope you enjoyed it! Love you and let's do it again soon.
