Life, Love, Laughter: I've got a feelin....

That tonight's gonna be a good night, that tonight's gonna be a good good night, oo oooo!

Oh what a night! For 3 years now our friends have organized a Tiny Town Tavern Tour for 2 of our friends birthdays, Taylor and Mike. Due to either having a newborn home from the hospital, or being pregnant or on bed rest we have been unable to attend, until this year that is! Brad and I have not been out for a night like this since way before we had kids. We deserved a night out, we were ready for some Husband and Wife time out with friends, pretending like we were 21 again... and so we did just that! We had a wonderful sitter at our house for the night with the kids, they were tucked in bed and we were off!

We started in Robins at the Birthday Boy's home, Mike and Kirsten's house, Party Bus pickup location #1! We loaded on the bus with friends and favorite drinks in hand. Our cooler was full with a mixed variety, margaritas, Coors Light, Wine and even a frozen Mojito. Oh my!

This party bus was rockin'. We were very impressed. The back of the bus had a huge flat screen TV, strobe lights everywhere, very nice leather benches and cup holders, we were definitely in luxury for our Tavern Tour! The music was cranked up loud and we got the party started!

The next stop was at the Birthday Girl's house, Party Bus pickup location #2! And more friends and a lot more drinks loaded on the bus! Homemade Apple Pie, 2 huge bags of jello shots, champagne and more! Again, oh my! So we headed off for our first stop Agge's in North Liberty.

The laughs started on the way and continued the whole night! In North Liberty we picked up a few more along for the ride. Decided to try a few munchies to fill our belly and after a few drinks we were off to stop #2!

Stop #2 brought some Tether Ball action! Yes, outside this bar had Tether Ball and a volleyball court. The inside ceiling was layered with dollar bills. This place was a log cabin type with the vaulted ceilings and I could not figure out how in the world those $ bills got up there. Did we have to climb?! Well Alyssa was curious also and she found out! So you take a $1 bill and wrap 3 quarters around the middle of it and then just throw it up. Sounds crazy but it worked, we were intrigued. Was there something sticky on the ceiling to make it stick? Who knows....but it captured my attention!

Stop #3 was a Sports Bar that was newly redone. Very nice and the place was not very busy, until a party bus with 19+ of us showed up! The bartenders were a little shocked, but it was a very fun stop. Lots more laughs to add to the night!

We thought her earring was a goner! HA HA, nope, just taking a break on her shoulder...and then we find it on the seat over an hour later! Hilarious!

Stop #4 we skipped and moved onto #5! #5 brought a lot of karaoke! Funny stuff! A few people who had just fabulous voices, and a few that would have been pretty funny on American Idol! The dance floor was hoppin', Brad was out there bustin' a move. We laughed and laughed and laughed!

CHEERS!

Parents night out!

Then it was stop #1 to drop back off at Taylor's, at this point we got off and hit a cab ride home! We had such a fun night out with wonderful friends! It was a very fun Birthday celebration for Mike and Taylor and we were very happy to join in the fun. Definitely a night that showed our age by the way we felt on Sunday....but for not getting out like this since we had kids, it was okay to snap us into reality and the lifestyle that we aren't missing, we love parenthood! But it was needed for 'us time', and we celebrated with great friends...who could ask for more than that?!'

Happy Birthday Mike
