We got up early to go take Mandy's car in for a tune-up and then took my Grandma's car to go get donuts. Dunkin' Donuts has a total monopoly on the donut industry in the suburbs but we managed to find a dive shop call Dunk Donuts and it hit the spot. I love maple frosted and I was so happy to see that had it there.
After breakfast we did a little shopping before the mini golf place opened. Mini golf was Dan's idea and Mandy found a cool glow-in-the-dark indoor place. Lucky for us we got in just before they closed to the public since two large school groups were coming in. The course was huge with two levels and tons of unique holes. We left as soon as we finished the last hole because the place was swarming with kids.
Mini-golf was followed by a little more shopping and then we headed way far out in the suburbs for lunch. While we were eating we were trying to come up with other options for things to do, not wanting to waste the last bit of time we had. We decided that since we were close we would head back to the Arboretum to go biking again. It was a cooler day and we would have more than just an hour to bike. It was perfect. We each got a bike and we were able to go all the way around the whole park, uninterrupted.
That night, over dinner, we discussed our traditional vacation favorites.
What's your favorite thing you did?
We all agreed that biking was a highlight followed by the views from Dan's cousin's apartment
What's you favorite thing you got?
Dan - his zoo shirt
Steph - romper and hat, followed by the shower curtain (I know, I'm easy to please)
Mandy - TV and TV stand
What's your favorite thing you ate?
We all said Sweet Baby Rays BBQ, followed by Berghoff's German
It was such a fun trip and the three of us all had a great time and still desperately miss the company and adventure. Mandy is a hoot and a half and I love being with her and I was so happy that Dan got to bond with her as well.
Now, onward to the doldrums of routine and responsibility!
