2 Years Out...

Wolfy, Phil and me in O'Hare before taking off for our journey

Yesterday, June 20, 2009 marks an historic day in Mikechop history.  Am I referring to the anniversary of the day our beloved Chicago Bulls took down the Phoenix Suns 4-2 to complete their first three-peat of the 90's back in 1993???  No.  How about the anniversary of the day Joltin' Joe Dimaggio had his 2,000th career hit in 1950?  Nope.  Perhaps the anniversary of the day Late Night king Johnny Carson married his 4th wife Alexis Mass back in 1987?  Negatory, ghostrider.  I'm not even talking about the day O.J. was arraigned on the murder charges of Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman OR the day Pete Rose became just the 5th player ever to appear in 3,000 games...

I'm obviously referencing the 2 year anniversary of my trip to Europe with the Wolfman and Philbuck!!!  Come on!!!  How could you not know that?!?

So many great memories came rushing back as Wolfy and I reminisced yesterday that I decided it would be cool to put up a few pictures from the trip.  So sit back, relax, crack a beer, roll a splif, and enjoy a few gems from Euro-trip '07...
