This weekend held a lot of firsts for me so I decided to make this post a little more of a "list" than a journal entry.  But to preface it all, I'd like to announce that my best friend came to visit my family and I to celebrate my "21.5" birthday.  No matter what we were planning on doing, we were definitely set up for a good time.   
  • Get a manicure AND pedicure at my favorite salon?  CHECK!
  • Do a bar crawl downtown Grayslake?  CHECK!

  • Have a real afternoon tea with my Grandmother?  CHECK!  (This was how we know we are officially "adults"- Thanks Grandma!)  :)

  • Stay at a fancy hotel off Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago? CHECK!
  • Go out on Rush Street? CHECK! 
  • Try a Gyro? CHECK!

As you can see, we kept ourselves very busy but we had a great time doing all of it.  However, the point of this post is that it has been a while since I felt this excited about so many small accomplishments in any period of time.  I hope everyone can have the same feeling and I definitely wish every weekend was this productive for my "To Done" list!

    Thoroughly enjoy everything on this list. Alright maybe not the afternoon tea or the mani/pedis but most of these are right up my alley. I always find it really weird when people try a certain food years after I had. How did you like your first gyro Nicole?
