Chicago with TP and PP

 

I got to spend the whole weekend with……….

 

I know. Jealous, aren’t you.

It’s the second year Mike and I met Tammy and Paul in the heart of Chicago. It’s a weekend filled with all kinds of indulgent things like; room service, fancy dinners, fancy cocktails, and sleeping in. It’s wonderful and I hope it’s a tradition we continue forever.

Highlights of this year’s trip included:

#1. Meeting up with our high school friend Lisa and her hubby Brian.

 

Lisa and Brian have four kids (including a set of 1 year old twins) all under the age of 5 so it was SO AWESOME that they agreed to meet us in the city. It meant lots of driving and them getting home late (and babies don’t sleep in, ya know!) but we had such a great time and it was so fun to see them.

#2. The architectural boat tour.

I had done a short historical tour of the city a couple of times but this tour was leaps-and-bounds above that one. We learned so much about the buildings of this amazing city and, although it was a ton of information to take in, I highly recommend this tour to anyone that visits.

#3. FOOD!

We ate at:

 Shaw’s Crab House

Pancake House

Carmine’s (for Italian)

Just like last year, we never ate a bad meal. You leave every place stuffed and happy!

We had such a great time. It was hard to say good-bye but I am going to IN to see them in a month so at least I have that to look forward to!

We head to WI Dells for the fourth of July so I have lots more packing to do this week! I have decided it’s lots easier to pack when you don’t have to think about the kids. Ha!

 

Sorry for such a short post (unusual for me after a vacation), but I hurt my wrist mowing lawn and moving the trampoline last week and typing it’s much fun.

Hope you all have a super week~
