My fam was planning on going to dinner to celebrate my birthday. We decided on Al Faccino's because I wanted to go somewhere new and my dad said they have good bread. Nothing close to Kruse and Muer, but still pretty tasty! I got eggplant parmigiana (sp*???) which was delectable.
It was just the five of us, no kiddies. They were at their other grandparents house. It was nice to not have chaos at the dinner table but I sure missed them when we ate cake! When we got out of the restaraut, the sky looked crazy cool. Somebody did not want to stop and let me take a picture... so these are from inside the car.
Trippy huh? I have an obsession with the sky. Okay quick short story- so Claire and I are fascinated by this fb group called "Waterford Then and Now." I have always been fascinated by old buildings and history and the like. So earlier in the day we were looking at all the cool pictures with my mom and we came across a picture of this old observatory off of Lake Angelus. We researched it a little and its really cool. It was built in the 1920's and was owned by U of M but now it is privately owned and I don't think in use anymore. It is hidden because trees and stuff have grown around it, but we decided it was our mission to go find it. How is there something cool like that in Waterford and I have never heard of it!?
Anyway, after dinner we made my dad drive down Lake Angelus Rd to see if we could see anything. We did not find it but finally I made them stop so I could take a picture of part of the lake. My pictures did not turn out so well... so I'll post my dads. Him taking a picture of me taking a picture... hahaha what is up with this family!? Like father, like daughter :)
Back home Karla, Claire and I found the observatory on Google earth because it is not where it says it is. It's down some private road. Off of Lk Angelus. Stay posted!!! You will see some awesome pictures of this place in the future. (Am I not the biggest nerd?)

I think my dad has a picture of my cake somewhere... It was super yummy. I like my mom's homemade best, but my she bought one from Costco with vanilla mousse in the middle and it was a close 2nd place. Hahaha, I think I hurt her feelings a little bit because I told her I am not a huge fan of rainbows, which there was on this cake. That's a story for another time... but my dad got a kick out of that at least. :P
