Heather and I went to see the Christmas Lights at Lincoln Park Zoo. Chuck and Carolyn Downs gave us this date as a gift – they watched the twins and gave me some spending money. Now that’s a Date! It was a wonderful night from start to finish – Buca di Beppo for dinner, the Zoo, and then a drive down Michigan Ave’s Magnificent Mile. Heather is the perfect wife and we had a great time.

At the zoo, we were greeted by a photographer under a canopy of trickling icicle lights. An ice carver was busy finishing a tiger, caribou, and bison. We wandered through arches of lights, danced in time with the lights and music, and sang loudly off key.
