I think summer official starts when we start going to street festivals. Which we did on Sunday. We went to the Belmont/Sheffield Music Festival. It was walking distance, but was a very Wrigleyville crowd. Got some corndogs, a Philly cheesesteak, and a couple of beers, listened to some music, and headed home. Nice to be able to just walk and do that. Friday night went up to Evanston for couples date night with the Russells. Had dinner at Prairie Moon and then watched Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. That's a fun ride. Makes me want to watch the first 3. Always interesting walking around Evanston, things just being so different from when I was there before. Saturday had breakfast at home, then went out to the paint store, checking out colors for the new place. My mom and Joy came in, so after mass we went to Shochu for dinner. I liked it, no one else did. Then we picked up desserts from Whole Foods, which was my mom's first time in one. Sunday, Tracy worked, so I went to dim sum with them to Phoenix Restaurant. It's pretty nice when you go at 8:30 in the morning. Nice and quiet. Came back up, watched 2 Fast 2 Furious finally and Fast Food Nation. After Tracy came home and a nap, we headed out for the festival. So that means summer's started for me. Oh, and finished Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and started Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
