Every time we hit the road, I’m reminded why I love where we live. People who live in the heart of the city complain about the suburbs as if there’s nothing going on there. You want to see absolutely nothing? Drive down to boofoo Illinois and then complain. I’d go crazy in two days living there. There is nothing to see but farmland and absolutely nothing to do but drink beer. Personally, I think the suburbs are the perfect combination of things to do, without the boring factor. The city is far too congested and expensive for my taste. But I digress.<\/p>\n
So we were in boofoo Illinois today (a two hour drive) for Joe’s nephew’s graduation (from high school) party. It was held at the bar Joe’s brother owns. This is only the second time we’ve been there, the first being when we helped them work on it bit before it opened. It looks really nice. I think the place is cursed though, for me anyway, because just like last time, I got a huge stomach-ache after eating. We ended up leaving earlier than we intended because I was in so much pain.<\/p>\n
I think we’re going to have to make an effort to go back down there sometime this summer just to visit so they don’t think I dislike them or something. They are really nice people. They live on a lake, so we could go fishing or something to pass the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
