A quick lunch between lectures with my friends at a Dim Sum Restaurant –
dim sum[ˌdim ˈsəm]NOUN a Chinese dish of small steamed or fried savory dumplings containing various fillings, served as a snack or main course.
We ordered too much, but loved it. The salt and pepper soft shell crab was the tastiest! I also love the sesame balls for dessert. My boss Ray and close friend Vince.
Were a Metro Detroit, Michigan, couple – second marriages for both of us – and we dream of retiring early to Travel the World. Follow us while we try and figure out to raise our kids, and save to retire.
David is a Robot Programmer, Laura is a Medical Physicist. We put our kids before ourselves for years, saved and ate at home and now after years of all this sacrifice and raising our kids - we are closing in on empty nesting, and we realized we have the opportunity to retire earlier than most and follow our dreams to travel the world.
How are we going to do this? Well we have a lot of ideas, but lets see how it works out. Our original retirement date was January 1, 2021. We are reviewing the option of working another 3 years but prefer to keep the 2021 date, either way we will be retired by 55 years old - still trying to figure out how, but working toward our goal everyday, while enjoying each other and our blended family.
Follow us to see what happens.

That is a boo, Chicago has a huge China Town, and tomorrow we are headed out to my sisterin laws bday party at…. a dim sum place, two in one week. Double lucky
We love dim sum! One weekend we went to have dim sum, and we were talking after having our fill from the carts that passed by. After a couple of hours of chatting we got hungry again and the marvelous thing was that we were at a restaurant, the dim sum carts were still available, so we had a second dim sum meal 🙂 Like I said, we love dim sum!
Um, yes, that is perfect and a great story. We were there for about 1hr, but just ate dim sum again for my sister in laws birthday and we were there +2hrs, but still full.

Looks yummy. I wonder if it is as good as the ones in Hong Kong.

I am sure Hong Kong is better, just because of the location. But my brother and sister in law (who is from China) say it is similar.😊
