Tonight was a good night for relaxing. Made it to Chicago pretty early considering the traffic, accidents, and toll booths. We actually stayed at a hotel across the street from where Chris works (and he was able to see us in the window - guess we shouldn't walk around naked). After work, Chris came up to the hotel room and we...headed downtown.
I wanted to hit Macy's because they were having a suit sale. I scored two Michael Kors' suits (navy and grey pinstripe) for a killer deal (plus 20% off). We then met Sean (Chris' BF) who kindly waited in line at Gino's for pizza.
We ate at Gino's last year and found that experience much better. We had a server who was a bit to butch so Chris nick-named her "balls". We told her that we came up with a name and she asked that we change it to "kahunas". I am sure I blew the spelling, but regardless, she was game for our infantile dinner table games.
After dinner, Chris and Sean had other plans so they bailed on us. They did drive us to the blue line so we could head back to the hotel. We were pretty tired. The L ride was a pretty long one. There is some construction work going on so they went down to a single line track. We eventually did make it to our room and we are just going to relax.
We have an offer to stay at Sean's for another night, but we are not sure if we are going to stay. We probably won't. We really just want to get to Ohio so we can relax for a bit with Vic and Sherry. Plus, there is a Donato's there and Chicago doesn't have one so that might trump everything.
Ok. Going to relax for a bit. Here is a short video we made while taking the blue line downtown to Macy's.

Goonight! Glad both of you are doing well. I am especially glad both of you didn't end up with the stomach flu that I got last weekend. I guess Dad didn't feel too well either and then Carole didn't feel well. I got it Sunday evening and started feeling better on Tuesday. Yesterday, Rowan had a fever and is now on antibiotics for the third time for an ear infection. But the weather was really nice today and should continue on to next week.
ReplyDeleteOMG. I totally didn't bail. LOL. The only reason we moved on to the thing for our friend was cause it sounded like you guys were planning on going back to your hotel right away.
ReplyDeleteHaha...I know you didn't really bail. Just having fun. Actually, we went back to the hotel and played around on the computer and stuff. Didn't get to bed until 1 a.m.
ReplyDeleteOh wow - I thought you guys were gunna pass out or something.
