The Joy that is Happy Hour

Old Chicago has cheap appetizers Monday - Friday from 3:00 - 6:00 pm.

Tonight, Nicole and I partook in chips and queso (go ahead and pronounce it kee-so, everyone else does), pepperoni rolls, and a personal pizza with pepperoni and sausage. Each dish was $2.99! $2.99! World Beer Tour, Deep Pan Pizza, Happy Hour. Old Chicago may just be my preferred place to go in Peoria for unhealthy sustinance.

Travels

I started the month of September in Kentucky, was in Arizona in the middle of the month, and woke up to October in the state of Wisconsin. Some highlights from Arizona and Wisconsin:


Arizona (Sept 10 - Sept 14):
* Complimentary Happy Hour at the Embassy Suites and drinking with cute Border Patrol Guys
* The Desert Museum and putting my hand on a cactus
* Karichimaka, a mexican restaurant in an old house that dates back to 1949
* Riding around in 793 mining trucks and feeling the power of a C175 engine rumbling beneath my feet
* An asian massage at a parlor...in the mall. Happy ending? I'll never tell ;)
* Groves of peacan trees
* Green Valley Monsoons
* Driving I-10 with the windows down, listening to the hard rock radio station
* Floating on my back in a pool, watching lightning illuminate the night sky (Gorgeous)

Wisconsin (Sept 29 - Oct 1):
* 5 hour car ride/visit with Mr. Jeff
* Stopping at the Wisconsin border for a photo op
