I still can not believe that my son is 18!!! We wanted this birthday to be special so we spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to make it fun. We took him to Javier's restaurant in Highland Park. The restaurant is really trendy and cozy looking and has amazing food. It's a fancier restaurant so the atmosphere was more formal than Riley's used to, but I think he enjoyed the special treatment. After dinner Jeremy took him next door to the cigar bar since Riley really wanted to participate in "I'm 18 now" activities. He also bought his first and I'm hoping his last lottery ticket. The cigar bar was guys only, so I don't have much to say about that. I know it was a cool place for them to hang out and have a little father/son bonding. Riley didn't let me read it, but Jeremy wrote him a very emotional letter that made him cry. After the cigar bar we had to ride home, in the cold, with all the windows down because the smell of cigars makes me want to vomit!! When we got home we did his cake and gifts. Our gift was the GoPro which he's been begging for and was super excited to get. I also made Riley a video collage, so I'll post that soon.
