Chicago

The morning after we got home from New York, we got on another plane, this time to Chicago. A city where I studied 10 years ago, and have not visited since. Which made this trip a bit speciall for me. I got to show Pontus MY Chicago.
Pontus worked the first two days, so I had some time on my own, just walking around in the city. But the weather was horrible. Windy as always, and then the cold and the snow. And since I live in Florida now, where we don't have neither snow nor realy cold weather, it was kind of a shock for my body. But at the same time I was so happy beeing there...
I went to Water Tower Place, went in at Ghirardelli's. Went past Cheescaka Factory, which was something amazing when I studied there.
On Friday evening we went to Ed Debevic's, which is a pretty speciall restaurant. The whole place is decorated in 60's stuff, and the waiters are dressed like that to.
And now and then during the evening they get
on the bar to dance.
But there is one more thing, their gimic is to be rude to people. It sounds strange, I know, but it is pretty funny. The food is not the best, but it is a funny place to visit.

After that we went to ESPN Zone, which had bars and an arcade. So we managed to drink some beers and play some games. Very funny!
Saturday was the big day. We went to my old school. That was a very speciall feeling. Like falling in love. I have butterflies in my stumach. More or less everything looked just the way it did when I studied there. I even got to get up to my dorm, and saw my old room. Nothing had changed. It was like walking into a timemachine.
Sunday we went to Millenium Park and skated. The day was beautiful, snow, clear blue sky and
a spring sun.

The visit to Chicago was realy great!

The birthday, 30

The 27th started with a pretty early breakfast in the bed, at 6:00. Once opening the presents I opened a box with two tickets to the musical Wicked. But not in Tampa, in New York instead. So I got about 45 min to pack some things and then we went of to New York.
I had a great day there, like a princess day. :) A nice walk in the city, great food, wonderful show and some great drinks at a revolving bar. Could not have been better.
Thank you my love for making my day perfect!
I felt like a princess!!

Deep sea fishing

A week ago, we went deep sea fishing with some Swedish friends.
The day started very early and with perfect weather. No wind, sun and a clear blue sky.
And we had all of that the whole day, except for the wind which went from more or less not existing, to taking over our lives. :) One could say that I got a bit sea-sick.
Even though my sickness, I managed to get three fishes.
Small ones, realy small ones, as you can see on the picture.
But I was lucky anyway.



After 8 hours out on the seven seas, we went home to make a great dinner, with our, in total, 12 fishes. It was delicious!
