Friday night there was supposed to be a meteor shower. I am not exactly the star gazing type, but Hektor loves to watch stars, so I let him wake me up at about 12:30 and we went up to his roof to await the star show. In my mind, a meteor shower would be easy to spot - lots of stars all shooting at the same time. Well, that's not exactly the case. He saw two or three shooting stars - me not so much. I couldn't be still up there - it was cold and my contacts were blurring and I couldn't see anything. I was so fidgety and the clock tower that's up on his roof was putting out too much light. So, no meteor shower for me, but he saw a few so that was good! We finally went in around 2:15...
Saturday we went to H's friend's birthday party/cookout. It was a beautiful day - not too hot, not too cold. Coleman did all the cooking - everything was delicious and we did a lot of day drinking. I was home and asleep by 9:30. I definitely had a hangover on Sunday - I do not recommend playing flippy cup with red wine....I'm such an amateur!
Sunday I went out to Bartlett - so. far. away. - but I got to see Jackie and Amy! They had a memorial day cookout so Tanya came with me and we met some of their other friends from their neighborhood who are super cool. We played bags and hung out with their super huge dog, Mason, and played a drinking game called Cheers to the Governor. I'm not going to explain all the rules (click that link to see them all) but you basically make up all these rules and go around the circle trying to remember the rule - one I made up was instead of saying 3 (as you count up to 21) you say, in a dainty little voice, "I'm a little girl." I know this makes no sense, but it's a super fun game!
Love Jackie and Amy and can't wait till we go to a Sox game next month! Teacher Appreciation Day June 10th! :-)

We started up by his place on Irving Park and rode the lakefront all the way down to Navy Pier and back. Took this pano from the little boardwalk that goes out into the lake over by North Avenue Beach. Speaking of the beach, it was packed today! You can totally tell that everyone is ready to be out in the sun after that nasty winter we had!
It was a beautiful day and weekend. and now, only 7 more days of school until bike rides, volleyball, vacations, and sleeping in fill my schedule!

And, no Memorial Day weekend would be complete without paying tribute to those that protect our freedoms! Our country is so amazing because of the servicemen and women who keep us safe! Thank you for all you do and for giving us this day to appreciate you all!
How was your weekend? Hope it was fab!
