Nothing special on July 4th besides the fireworks at the Lake Front the day before. Traffic was terrible downtown, but the weather was good and the fireworks were great. Owh yea, Janna prepared her famous curry chicken dinner on the independence day! *yum*
During the July Fourth weekend, Janna, Shuwei, Eunice, and Ky went to Chicago for a day trip. Thanks to the noise from the hyperactive kids and their "considerate" parents, almost everyone on the bus was awake and "enjoying" the views along the way from Milwaukee to the Windy City. Only Shuwei and Eunice were able to enjoy their dreams despite of the noise. *bravo bravo*
The trip started with having Dim Sum with one unknown chinese couple who did more whining than eating. Ah, what to do, kononnye very famous dimsum restaurant, so packed! But the brunch went well overall.
Urban Roots Hair Saloon was our next destination. No pictures of before and after, for me at least. Eunice has a short hair style now, but she refused to provide the pictures (she wants to surprise those who are fated to see her again :p) I definitely recommend Urban Roots Hair Salon than Regis at Mayfair for several reasons:
1. Asian hairdressers are better.
2. For girls, all the men hair dressers are pretty good looking. At least, they have nice hair.
3. For Eunice, there is a cute guyish looking girl who washed her hair and she thinks that the girl is pretty cool! wooott!! ( this is added by Eunice, not the reason that I will go to Urban Roots. I like feminine girls - the one who washed my hair is pretty decent looking)
3. I was teased non-stop after I got my hair cut at Regis.
4. The price is about the same.
5. It is a good way to get out from Milwaukee.
Next was bubble tea at Alp Phine right before we headed to Navy Pier. The crowd was crazy there, maybe the taste of Chicago was there that weekend. Lots of local people, tourists.... We did something that we hadn't done before - taking the Ferris Wheel. The ride was pretty short (7mins or maybe less) but the view was awesome. Unfortunately, we couldn't get perfect pictures of Chicago skyline due to the sun exposure, our so so quality camera, and our less than amateur skills in photography.
But, we do have picture of Janna as she was cam-whoring with her low battery camera. That's why no more battery left for other pics.
I am kidding. We do have other pictures than Janna's self portrait.
Shu Wei and Janna with Michigan Lake as the background.
KY's smile and the nice view.
The swing was awesome, and everyone tends to walk to his/her left after the ride. It was a bit difficult for people who wore heels. But I must say, they were pretty amazing that they could still walk on those 2 things. SW brought sour sweets that will help all of us stay focus on our next activity: MiniGolf. Way harder than the course in Greenfield, SW (the beginner) and Janna (the good coach but not so good player :p) kicked eunice's and ky's asses in the tournament. It was fun!
Shiroi Hana was our last stop before Union Station. Japanese food was good (taste good and slightly cheaper than Izumis), and the services were perfect; as a result, Janna overate!
