Our Very Romantic Non-Romantic Date

This past Friday night, Jon and I celebrated our 5th anniversary. It's funny because I usually LOVE to get all dressed up and go out for a night on the town, but this year, I just wanted to do something fun, relaxed, and of course, without the kids. So, we decided to go on a long bike ride, like we used to do in our pre-children days. Grandma Susan came to watch the kids and we were off. We decided to take the Prairie Path and rode into Lombard, a few towns to the east of us. The weather was looking kind of threatening so we rode back to eat dinner in downtown Wheaton. We were sweating, so I wanted to eat outside, and since it was also the Friday night classic car show and the Cream of Wheaton, I thought it would make for some good people-watching. It was a very hot and humid day, and it was also extremely windy. Jon wasn't as enthusiastic about eating outside because of the wind. But, I told him to stop complaining because it was our anniversary and the hurricane force wind was a welcome change from eating with three children! Well, it turns out we were both right about something...

There were some VERY interesting people: This man was like 6'6".

And it was WAY too windy: This is Jon's cheeseburger sans lettuce because it was blowing down the street :) HA HA!

But it was a great date nonetheless!
