September 19, 1998: Visiting Joe in Vernon Hills

Joe had invited me to come visit him in Vernon Hills and show me around.  I was so excited.   I took Metra train to Lake Forest.  Joe was waiting for me at the train station.   He has a 1995 Firebird in excellent shape.   We went to the beach on Lake Michigan where he liked to come sit.    Then, we sat down and looked out at the lake.    Some people were walking their dogs. He told me he didn't like dogs as they gave him allergies.    Then, we went to this little park by his house where he liked to take walks.    He lived near the Hawthorne Mall on Onwentsia.     His bedroom was very neat which I thought was surprising for a man.    We had dinner at Chili's Restaurant and stopped at Best Buy.  

We went to the movie "Rush Hour" which was hilarious.    Then, we went back to his house and hung out.    I got to meet his parents. They were playing on the computer.    Then, he brought me back to the train station in Lake Forest.    He told me to give him a call when I got back to Chicago to make sure I was ok.    He gave me a hug and I took a chance and gave him a kiss before I got on the train.
