My 35th Birthday weeklong vacation began with Michelle's arrival in the Fort and the opening of gifts. Mich had made 7 discs labeled "Mel's Radio Mix," which included bands that aren't on Fort radio regularly like Cage the Elephants, Neon Trees, and 30 Seconds to Mars. I've been listening to them non-stop. Awesome gift!
People expect Mich and I to party hard. I don't know where we've gotten this rep, but I can guarantee you, we visited 2 bars (minus Chicago), found Waldo at IHOP, had dinner at Cork 'n Cleaver, shopped for two days, started knitting projects, and played some hardcore UNO and Yahtzee with the hubby. Some of my favorite moments were watching movies and of course, tv shows. I had to hold her hand through Crichton's death on Farscape and introduced her to Supernatural. We have a habit of watching sci-fi shows together.
Michelle, Becky, Erin, and I traveled to Chicago for a fabulous night out. Our hotel even upgraded us to the top suite. Woo-hoo! We began with dinner at the House of Blues, followed by an evening of singing and dancing at Howl at the Moon. We briefly (for 15 minutes) tried some dance clubs, but hopped back in a roller coaster taxi ride back to HATM.Overall a wonderful, relaxing, and enjoyable birthday week. I'm so grateful to everyone who went to dinner, to my gals for going to Chicago, and Michelle for flying up from Florida. It was a great way to spend my 35th!

Note to self: keep tongue in mouth. Sticking out tongue and striking a weird pose is just . . . weird.

I had a great time and can't wait for our September vacation! Still can't believe we have it all mapped out and we are ready to roll. Miss you already Mel!
