We had a fun night out for Barry's birthday. He'd been wanting to try Carrburrito's restaurant in (where else) Carrboro, so we took the bus into town and had HUGE burritos (him = grilled veggies/beans/rice, me=grilled fish/beans/rice), chips and homemade salsa, and margaritas there. It was full of students and very good, though very casual. After taking the bus back to our 'hood, we stopped in at the upscale bar at ONE restaurant and had a couple of nightcaps. Expensive nightcaps! But after our very affordable dinner, it was a good splurge, and the bartenders were very friendly. Too bad we didn't mention it was Barry's birthday until we were leaving, as we might have gotten him a free drink out of it!
When we got back to the apartment, it was finally time for cake, ice cream, and presents. Poor Barry had to make his own cake (chocolate mint - yum!) since I had to work. Needless to say, we went to bed with very full bellies and didn't sleep well. But what are birthdays for if not for a bit of indulgence!?
