Chicago

Believe it or not this post is not about the kids but about Jeremy and I. We were blessed to get a weekend away just the two of us last weekend. My parents were wonderful enough to keep the kids for us and of course they had a great time as well. Those of you that are parents know that you don't get very much quality time with your husband once you have kids so it was really nice to have time with just Jeremy. Of course we missed the kids but enjoyed the time that we had together.

On Friday we headed North and stopped along the way to golf. When we got there on Fri. we just walked around and grabbed some dinner. On Saturday we got up and went to breakfast at Lou Mitchell's which is one of Jeremy's favorites. It has become one of my favorites as well because they give you donut holes while you wait, and ice cream when you are done. Does it get better than that? After that we headed to the Sears Tower to visit the new glass balconies. I was very nervous about going up 103 stories (which only took about 18 seconds) and then stepping out onto an inch and half piece of glass. It was very hesitant but once I got out there it was a great experience and I am glad I did it. The whole view from the building was amazing.

After walking about 10 miles up and down Michigan Ave. and to Navy Pier we got ready for dinner. Our hotel (Conrad) had a bar on top of the building that was open so we sat out there and had a drink. It worked out that on of my friends was having dinner with her husband to celebrate their 1 year Anniv. across the street so they came to join us for a drink before dinner.




After dinner at Lowery's Steakhouse we went on a night boat tour of the city. After a tour we sat out on the lake and watched the fire works from Navy Pier.


So now we are back to reality but enjoyed the weekend that we had.
