This weekend, we had a good time celebrating our 2 year aniversary early and spending all weekend together. Saturday we visited Goodwill where Mark found some good games and I got a cute butterfly ceramic pot. We decided to try a new sandwich shop in town called Jimmy Johns- shockingly it was identical to our Milio's (Big Mikes for those who came to Madison over a year ago). The menu was identical- almost word for word. It was really rather sad- needless to say, we won't be going there again- chain from Chicago and all.

Saturday night we headed out to Rhythm and Booms- we tried a new spot this year. Parking by the medical sciences above ground lot we made our way to observatory hill. Since we were nice and early, we made use of the daylight and got in a couple of rounds of Lost Cities. When it got too dark to play we listened to our radios (Rhythm and Booms gets its name from the timing of music and fireworks). Mark also got some great shots from our digital camera using the shutter speed delay. It was a captivating show this year!

Sunday morning we headed out for a round of Golf. We hit the same course we went to for Mark's birthday to try my new golf skills (I just finished a golf 1 class at the university last semester). Mark always impresses me with his long drives and great putting. This time I was able to shave some strokes from my score and was happy with my nice direct drives... still need to work on my putting. At one point I even got some congradulations from the pair behind us on a particularly nice chip- my play of the day :)

The rest of the day we spent relasing and reading some long awaited novels- I am making progress in my alphabet murder mystery series while Mark is working his way through all of the Harry Potter books before the new one comes out- I was skeptical at first, but I think he might make it through all of them- an impressive feat.
