11I: Birthday Trip!

This week was one of my friends 18th birthday.  I just met her when I came to Southern.  Instead of just going to Conn Hall for dinner and getting whatever cake they have that night for her, a group of mutual friends got together and planned a surprise night on the town.

In preparation for this trip, we looked up the bus schedule.  We learned we had to take the B bus to Temple & Church Street.  All we had to do now was find Fitch Street, which is where the bus was going to pick us up from Southern.  We found the stop right across the street from the student center.  Right after a light dinner at Conn we went straight there.  

We took the CT Transit bus to downtown New Haven and went to the Shake Shack.  The Shake Shack is a really good burger place with delicious milk shakes and smoothies.  After we finished our shakes and french fries, we walked the streets of New Haven for a bit.  We just strolled along, joking around, singing out loud and doing goofy dares from a scavenger hunt game that we prepared earlier.  After a few hours, we caught the 11:30 B1 bus back to school. It was a fun birthday trip off campus.
