It’s a Boxing Day Tradition for Team Slap: each year on the
day after Christmas we take a road trip. 2012’s destination was supposed to be
the Cave of the Mounds, but financial concerns scratched that trip. Instead we
headed down to Gurnee to dine at the Rainforest Café.
I’d been there before a couple of times, but I must not have
been paying attention, because I had no memory of how cool it was. Robotic jungle
animals sit just out of reach (we dined near the tigers). There’s a ceiling of
stars. Jungle vines hang from the ceiling. Giant aquariums grace the entrance
to the dining room. Every 15 minutes a crash of thunder is heard, and ‘rain’
falls in the jungle areas.
The company was great and the food was yummy!
We ended our meal with their signature desert, a mountain of
brownies and ice cream topped off by a sparkler. Deeeeeelish!
What a great Boxing Day, even if it wasn’t the one we had
planned.
you take such great pictures, looks like you had a great time. All the kids and adults are smiling. Love the idea of "Boxing Day" Is there a story there?
