Redbirds Reunite!

I've never been good about surprises especially when it comes to surprises for the husband. I always get too excited and end up telling him what we we're doing, but I finally I was to keep my big mouth shut. Yesterday I surprised Sam with a trip to downtown Chicago to go to a beer tasting and brewery tour. However, this wasn't just any date-night, this was an actual event being held by our university's alumni association. So I thought it would be a fun event to go to with the husband and our college roommates.

(Don't feel to bad for Sam- he was the one who decided to live with three girls.)

I'm not much of a beer drinker (that is a really big understatement) but my roommates do enjoy beer so I thought it could be a fun thing to do. The cost was pretty reasonable (only $25) which included 5 beer tastings, light appetizers, and a tour of their brewery. Plus, we got a bunch of free ISU swag!

 The event was held at Revolution Brewing. It's a pretty cool/ hip brew pub with some really good food. After the main event, we decided to stay and order dinner. I have to say for being a downtown Chicago restaurant- their prices are really reasonable. For the 4 of us (which included 1 appetizer, 4 meals, and 3 beers) it was only $75.

It was a really good time. It was nice to get out of the burbs, to hang out with friends, and do something a little different the our norm.

Happy Friday! Have a great weekend!
