Dillinger Date Night...

Not this last Saturday but the Saturday before that (let it be said now I fully admit I am a procrastinator) my husband and I had a very rare occurrence happen,we went on a date!We live about 45 minutes away from Little Bohemia so he decided to take me there!Now if you're not a history nerd like me or a John Dillinger fan Little Bohemia is where Dillinger and his gang had their infamous shootout with the FBI.

I wasn't sure what to wear but Bakelite was definitely in order.

We arrived as the sun was setting so it unfortunately didn't leave me much time for photos but I was thrilled when we pulled into the long driveway.

You can't tell in my photos but most of the building is riddled in bullets!

Inside has a small area of things Dillinger left behind.Though it was very busy when we arrived it didn't take too long to be seated.

The food was delicious and the scenery is beautiful.We were right next to the window that views the lake and really nothing says "Romance" like dining next to windows that have been victims of gunshots!

  2. How cool! I've been to Al Capone's Hideout in Couderay which was a nice little collection of buildings still packed with antiques. Have to hit Little Bohemia next. Surprised they didn't have a Johnny Depp shrine. lol
