Barson Life

July 9 was the 13th anniversary of Tiffany and My wedding. Who would have thought that a 19 year old girl and 20 year old boy getting married would make it this long. And to celebrate we deicided to get a sitter and have dinner, then stay at a hotel down town. Well since I get a pretty good deal at my hotel, and a really good deal at my restaurant, the choice seemed pretty natural. this was the first time I had actaully eaten there as a guest and it was very nice, I highly recomend it.
We decided to ride our bikes down in order to make an event of it, we took the long way around, from Arlington Heights, over to the Botanic Gardens, then down the path into the city, zig zag through town to a bike bar, then to the hotel. Total milage in was 53 miles, 4 hours of saddle time.
The weather was pretty hot, in the 90's most of the way. We managed to not get rained on (by about 8 minutes). I rode my Fixed Gear bike, Tiff rode her pretty speacialized 27 gear.
We took the train home....
A lovely time was had by us both.

Tuesday night (at midnight) we all went and saw the latest install ment of the Harry potter phenominon, a fun little movie if you into that sort of thing. I would say it was the best of the bunch.

Awesome!!! You both make a such great couple, congratulations on 13 years. Last week P and I helped her parents celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary, as well as the fact that they also both turned 60 this year.
