My husband and I celebrate birthdays that are relatively close to each other. This year, we decided to do something out-of-the-ordinary and took a dinner/fireworks cruise on Lake Michigan last night on the big Spirit of Chicago.

It was an incredible experience.

There was a particularly hot couple on the dance floor, and I’ll try to put up the video of that exclusively….but there were many hot couples. One couple was in from San Francisco and said they take these cruises in California and love them; but thought they’d try one in Chicago. The guy was dancing the electric slide and asked me…”I’m the only guy out her with a bunch of girls. Do you think this is strange?” His partner was sitting at the table smiling. Another couple was celebrating their first wedding anniversary.

That cruise is definitely a cruise to take with someone you love.

One couple had been dating for seven months, the young man is in the Navy and is at Great Lakes Naval Academy right now. He proposed to his girlfriend on bended knee and she accepted.

I danced the two step, but didn’t get any video of it….that’s why the R. Kelly song here. Quite a few of the people who work on the boat came out to dance on that one.

Happy birthday, babe.
