Raising Funds and Eating Well

We went to a fundraiser tonight for the Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation.  It was a great time and a great cause.  Pancreatic Cancer is so horribly devastating and this foundation does great work to help research and improve early detection.  Check out the foundation here if you're interested in learninf more or donating: http://www.rolfefoundation.org/
Before our big night out, we had dinner at a new restaurant in River North called Point and Feather.  We were both pretty excited because the restaurant is "dart themed" and we were hoping to be able to play.  Unfortunately though, there weren't any dartboards available while we were there, so we didn't get to compete against eachother, only eat.

While we went hoping to play darts, we were not disappointed by the food.  The atmosphere is like a very upscale sports bar and the food is like fancified sports bar food.  I really liked the cheeseburger (it was HUGE - Doug and I split it and I still couldn't finish), but I really loved the brussels sprouts.  They were crispy, fried, and loaded with cheese.  Next time hopefully we'll be able to play some darts.

Noelle - Noelle was spending the night at a grandparent's house and was probably already tucked away in her bed by the time we were having dinner.
