Shawn and I had a great day Friday! We were both off work and had a full day planned. We spent all day in the city. It would have been nice to have had a nicer day (gloomy rain all day) but it was still nice. We drove downtown and went to see Avatar in 3D at the iMax at Navy Pier. The movie was awesome (further movie review to come...I just need to process it a bit more before). We ate lunch at Bubba Gump Restaurant, which was a first for both of us. It was delicious! Yummy shrimp. Then we walked around the Magnificent Mile for a couple of hours to do some shopping and look at the lights. We had a great day together.
My friend Sarah from work was having a surprise 30th birthday party for her husband downtown, which was the reason we came downtown. They are buying a condo in a high rise near Navy Pier, and that is where they were having the party for Chris. We were given a special parking pass for the garage in their building for 12 hours, so we parked there and made a day of it in Chicago. The party was a lot of fun! Chinese food and free drinks, plus Sarah hired an "inspirational speaker" in the form of a Chris Farley impersonator. It was really funny! They also have a friend that is a magician, so he did "illusions" for us and it was quite interesting. He wandered around throughout the night doing card tricks and such too. We also got to meet some of their friends, which was nice because we really don't know many people our age around here. After they get all moved into their place next month we're gonna go back to check it out. The building was really awesome, with 2 pools and a nice gym and outdoor garden on the 3rd floor terrace. I'm sure the condo will be really nice!
