cheezborger! cheezborger! cheezborger!

Another beautiful day in the neighborhood! Yesterday Janice and I decided that we needed a burger so that was today's mission. We decided to walk down to Navy Pier and eat at Billy Goat Tavern. I doubt many you will know this connection but it is the basis of the Olympia Restaurant sketch on SNL with John Belushi. They literally shout "Cheezborger" nonstop along with "No Coke. Pepsi" and "No fries. Chips" because those three items are the only things you can order successfully. As evident by my order of: triple cheezborger, chips, and pepsi :)

really cute roomie pic!

we also took senior pics :)

and this is in front of the gate to the university that we don't go to.
Northwestern College is in IA, not IL, thanks.

To end our night we went up to the top of the Hancock Building to get the view. Alli, the roomies, and I all went up to the Signature Lounge around sunset so we saw it go from light to dark which was fun. After one ear-poppingly fast elevator ride (something like 550 meters per minute) to floor 96, and a one drink minimum at around $12 a drink, we got quite a few pictures of the amazing vista. It was a good thing we went before dark I think, they say it is most busy at night but being able to really see the buildings was just as cool as seeing the lights go on forever, it produced better pics too. We were able to spot our tiny aprartment in the mess of concrete and lights too. Here's a small sampling:

Janice, Susan, Alli, and our $12 drinks :)

and the view, the sears tower,

our apartment! (our corner is the really lit up intersection)
and us! It was a good night :)
