La and I had the pleasure of spending this past weekend with Mandy and her cute-as-a-button boyfriend, Grant. They drove in from Cleveland on Friday evening and stayed through Sunday afternoon.
We crammed as much as we could into the weekend. First, we enjoyed a drink in the Signature Room, located on the 95th floor of the Hancock Building.
The view was sensational.
Then we hit up SushiSamba Rio, and migrated over to Kingston Mines (a down-n-dirty blues club).
Twas awesome.
On Saturday, La fell in love.
It was sunny and beautiful with the temps near 60. We spent most of the day out shopping, and La could not get enough of Mandy's man. Grant was her knight in shining armor. Her prince who swooped in to whisk her away from those wretched stores to sit on the curb and eat Skittles.
That boy sure knows the way to a girl's heart.
We crammed so much in over the weekend (shopping on michigan, eating crepes, eating deep-dish pizza, walking around the zoo, playing Cranium, visiting the Lincoln Park Conservatory, jamming at a blues club, La falling out of her stroller into a mud-puddle, THE DISNEY STORE, a few cab rides, a bunch of train rides, some bus rides, ten bottles of wine, one shot of tequila, and lots of good food), that I was in need of a quiet respite from my overly-stimulating weekend.
What did I do?
Went to Disney on Ice with La and James (thanks for the tix James!). Nothing like thousands of shouting children twirling glow-in-the-dark spinning toys to wind one's self down after a busy weekend.
Time for bed.

you have so much energy! I would have needed 78 cups of coffee to handle the weekend you just had.
I miss you already too! We had such a great time. Thank you!
