Anne and I just returned from a long weekend visiting Chicago
and Milwaukee. Friday night, we flew out of Columbus, headed
to Chicago. During the flight, in a wine-hazed moment of
ditziness I was convinced that we were flying 30,000 miles
in the air instead of 30,000 feet. Der.
We arrived in Chicago at 10 p.m., and took a train to Jamie's
hood. Jamie and the crew greeted us at the train station. At
Jamie's, we had some pizza, beer and eclairs and called it
a night. On Saturday, we woke up early and piled in Beth's
van, The Golden Bullet, and headed for Milwaukee! We were attending
Holly and Jayson's annual party, Werrapalooza. They had T-shirts
made. If you tap it, they will come.
The afternoon and evening was full of sunshine, beer, rum
punch, cornhole, beer pong, and the most food I have ever seen
at a potluck! I made taco dip. They had brats and burgers,
and tons of brownies, and these cheesy potato things and MORE.
We all had a great time. The next morning we all needed McDonalds.
6 out of 7 of us ordered the #6 - egg and bacon and cheese
bagel combo. Mmm!
After the rest of the crew headed back to their respective
towns, Anne and I spent a cozy day with Jamie. Her husband
Brian and us headed out on a walk to get some ice cream and
then walked down along the lake. It was gorgeous out and there
were a million people doing the same thing as us! Then we headed
back to her joint and made margaritas. Afterwards we went to
Caro Mio, Jamie's favorite Italian restaraunt. Mmm. I had some
amazing ravioli. We got coconut sorbet for dessert, and it
came IN A COCONUT SHELL. Fancy!
This morning, we rode the train into the city at 7 with Jamie
and she went into work and Anne and I walked around the city
all morning. We had breakfast, went to Millenium Park, and
then did some shopping. Then we rode the train to the airport
and flew back to Athens! What a weekend!
