Nancy and I really didn't do much. We went out Friday night and met up with some of her friends. We drank too much, and ate too much, and had an all around wonderful time.
Saturday we were very lazy getting rolling (see note about drinking too much) but finally made it to brunch at this place called Bongo. It. Was. Awesome. We had these white chocolate, caramel, pretzel pancakes. You all, Heaven.

We shopped (I got some great Christmas presents!), we walked around, We found Nick's Beer Garden. All in all, it was an awesome laid back day.
We eventually went with her boyfriend to a bar for a couple of drinks, which was fun. I got to really get to know him and can say I now give my stamp of approval. Later we ordered in a deep dish pizza and watched a movie at his place.
Sunday we actually managed to be a little touristy. We headed into downtown and did the skydeck at the Willis (Sears) Tower. That was awesome. This is me sitting in the skydeck 103 floors over Chicago. (From here on out all pictures will be taken of me from above)
Here is Nancy in the box
Don't look down.

After that we shopped downtown for a little bit, ate an amazing lunch, and the she dropped me at the airport! (where I was a total idiot). I had such an amazing weekend. I adore my sweet best friend and can't wait to make the trip again!
I love Chicago! I have a friend that lives near there, only been there once, but we had a blast! :) Looks like you definitely had a great time!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right - the photo from above is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI will have to tell photographer to try with me - who knows? it might work :)
I'm doing a bulk comment due to lack of time right now, so I hope you don't mind...
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a fab time in Chicago - how lovely to get to spend the weekend with your childhood BFF!
Sorry to hear about the mad dash through the airport though, phew, I'm glad they let you on in the end.
Also, incredibly glad to hear that things are as good for Missy as they can be in the circumstances she is facing. Continuing to keep her, you and your family in my thoughts x
And those photos from your trip to South Carolina are just adorable... how could they not be with Henry in them?
Looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteYou had me at white chocolate, caramel, pretzel pancakes!!... Oh my gosh do those ever sound amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI miss doing things like that with my best friend (and no one else). Hmm, I think I'll set that up one of these weekends.
