24 Glourious Hours Together


George and I went to Chicago over Labor Day weekend for our FIRST night away from the kids since I was pregnant for Ava. We stayed at the Sheraton Towers overlooking the Chicago River and we also had a view of the lake. We ate at George's favorite lunch spot and then shopped and walked all over, including the tourist trappings at Navy Pier. We relaxed in our hotel and then had drinks on NoMi's open air patio above the city and dinner inside. We discovered a new drink that we love, called a Pimm's Cup and we were able to get the recipe from our waiter. We slept in until nine the next morning and then had breakfast at a newly opened restaurant called the Yolk. It was truly a wonderful time with my best friend George. A big thanks to Ashley Kalman for watching the kids and giving me peace of mind.
