(Ha Ha Missy- I beat you posting!)
We had such a great time in Chicago! Lisa and Chad picked up the kids around 10:30 Saturday morning and they went swimming, Pizza Hut and back to their house for a fun afternoon, evening, night and Sunday. The realtor called as they were pulling out of the driveway and asked us if there could be a showing yesterday afternoon. Ryan and I were leaving at 11:00 for Chicago, so we busted through the house cleaning up until we had to leave. We got on the road and the fun began! Jason and Julie drove all 8 of us in their Suburban, so we chatted and laughed the whole way there. We got to our hotel (Hotel 71), checked in and dropped off our stuff. We were all starving, so we headed to an Irish Pub called BB's and had some great early dinner/late lunch. It was really handy that Rob works in downtown Chicago, because he knew where everything was and could get us to good restaurants, shopping, etc. The boys left and went to ESPN Zone, and the girls headed off shopping. I bought ABSOLUTELY NOTHING which is hard to believe for those of you who know me well. We went to discount stores (H & M, Filene's Basement, and Nordstrom Rack) and I wasn't in the mood to pick through, so I just browsed while the others shopped. We headed back to the hotel, got ready to go out and went to the House of Blues for the Big Head Todd concert. We had a blast! The Onstotts and the Doans got hungry around 9:30 and ditched the Everses and us for food, but the 4 of us stayed until about 11:30 before we went to Mother Hubbard's and had burgers, Chicago dogs, and quesadillos. We got back to the room around 1:00. So much fun to have a night away with great friends. We laughed a ton. On the way home today, we stopped in Michigan City for a couple hours of shopping at the outlets. An excellent weekend all around- the kids had fun at the Boeves, and we had fun in Chicago. Thanks again Lisa!!!!!
I am excited about my 4 day work week this week- then my 10 days of Spring Break to follow!!!!! YIPPEE!
