Somehow yesterday was the day that my internship office was celebrating birthdays. I don't exactly know how that worked out because I am pretty sure that they didn't know it was my birthday until yesterday. We went to a fancy-ish REVOLVING restaurant at the top of a hotel that is the tallest building in town. It was pretty cool because if you stay at your table for an hour, you spin all the way around and get every view of the city.
I spent the entire time taking pictures and I actually got a little sea sick. Is that possible?
Good thing I took a picture of my food to show Frank because I had forgotten what I got. I was pretty distracted by the spinning and all.
When I got home at 5, we decided it was too cold to go back out for dinner (I will leave out the part about it being -8 and our heat not working for most of the evening and me not noticing until my downstairs neighbor called to ask if it was also freezing in our apartment). We ordered a shrimp and pesto pizza because I forgot that I actually don't like shrimp. I picked them off and everything was fine.
Do you see my birthday present propped up by the pizza? An OXO can opener! I cannot wait to use it and yes, I realize I have reached a new level of lame.
Have you ever been to a revolving restaurant? I didn't even know this existed in Duluth until I got there. And I'm not going to lie, it took me a while to realize we were spinning...
Do you like shrimp?
Favorite pizza topping?



That looks like a super cool restaurant - was the food good? My favorite pizza topping is pineapple !
ReplyDeleteThe food was good, not great. Pineapple is quite wonderful on pizza!
DeleteI don't like shrimps at all--I want to though! My fav pizza toppping is chicken and loads of cheese ;).
ReplyDeleteSeems like a great place to celebrate!
Most people think I'm crazy for not liking shrimp so I am happy to hear someone else agrees with me!
Delete:) finally I find someone too.
DeleteHow are you? Just came here to check on you!
xo!
Happy Belated Birthday girl and I love shrimp on EVERYTHING...
ReplyDeleteThanks girl!
Deletehow cool, the revolving restaurant sounds like fun. mmm, the pizza looks good, i want some!
ReplyDeleteOh my that pizza looks AMAZING!!!
ReplyDeleteI love strips of bacon on my pizza!!
Bacon, my husband would like your style!
DeleteI'm still celebrating my birthday today! That soup looks yummy! I would definitely get sea sick at a revolving restaurant.
ReplyDeleteHaha, good! I'm still celebrating in my heart!
DeleteThat revolving restaurant sounds lovely. I've been to one in vancouver with my best gfs from highschool - it was soooo beautiful. One of the most classiest places i've ever been to!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday again!!
Classy is a good way to describe this place too!
DeleteLOL, since October. I think a revolving restaurant would honestly make me a bit sick. I know you aren't supposed to be able to feel it but I get motion sickness so so easily.
ReplyDeleteMy friend says it helps to look out the Windows but honestly I felt a little sick the rest of the day!
DeleteI love it there! I could never feel the motion though so that's crazy you did enough to even get sick! I haven't been there in years though, maybe they sped it up a little bit?? ;) I hate shrimp and looove cheese pizza dipped in ranch. Glad you had a great birthday! :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe it was because I was taking too many pictures?? They did change owners recently I think.
DeleteI ate at the Space Needle in Seattle a few years ago and it spins all around too. It was so much fun, I went at night so the city was all lit up.
ReplyDeleteThe space needle! That would be fun!
DeleteAw- glad you had a nice birthday! Your lunch looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe your heat wasn't working! Our power was out for a couple hours the other day- it got cold fast in our house!
I actually get kind of sick in revolving restaurants, too. I thought I was the only one that sensitive!
I think my fave pizza topping is definitely mushrooms!
Mushrooms are my favorite too actually but I forget about them because Frank doesn't like them.
DeleteI LOVE buffalo chicken pizza! Either that or garlic white chicken pizza...or meatball pizza is delish too...ok time to get some pizza :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, maybe a bagel pizza?? :)
