This year was a "big" birthday for Kaitlyn as she FINALLY turned 21. She has been counting off the days since the first of the year. All her friends have been 21 for awhile so she felt very left out. We celebrated the night by taking the WHOLE "family" (all 6 of us) to dinner at B.J.s. Then we went to The Mont (a local Norman bar/restaurant "landmark") so she could have a Swirl. A Swirl is the Mont's signature drink and MUST be drank (drunk???) on the patio in the summertime so that you can be "seen" and hob nob among the Norman locals (i.e. people my age - attorneys, socialites, university professors, long-time Normanites, etc. During the school year, it's frat boys and sorority girls having drinks in the "blue room" inside - it is a bar after all). A Swirl is sangria mixed (swirled, thus the name) with a frozen margarita. There is usually a wait to get a seat on the patio. Kaitlyn's best friend, Lindsey and her boyfriend, Tyler, joined the 6 of us to celebrate the momentus event. After about 10:00, Joe and I bowed out and left the young ones to head for Campus Corner and a night of drinking and debauchery.
