A Couple Days Away Does A Body Good

So let me start by confessing something.  My running shoes never left my suitcase while we were away.  I had good intentions of running along the lake like I use to do when I was working in Chicago but we had about 48 hours and a lot crammed into our schedule and they just never made the cut.  For that I feel terrible.  BUT..

We did a lot of walking.  After getting in on Thursday afternoon, we promptly walked up to Michigan Ave to do a little shopping.  I bought a few things I wouldn't normally buy so we'll see if they ever make it out of my closet.  S always prompts me to push my boundaries a little so I gave in.  We're on vacation afterall. 

Thursday night, S and I went out with my cousin.  She showed us a great time.  And yes, I know, she's gorgeous.  3 bars later (2 rooftop), we were back to the hotel and in bed for what I would call pure bliss.  10 hours of uninterrupted sleep.  I'm estimating I haven't done that in well over a year and a half. 

Friday, when we finally did get out of bed at 10:30, and now you know why the running shoes didn't make it out, we headed down to Wrigley for a Cubs vs. Yankees game.  I was sure we'd pay tons of money for those tickets.  Turns out $32 will get you into the game.  Not bad.  Stayed for 8 innings, then had an early dinner at a place called DMK, a little burger bar around Wrigley.  Pretty good.  We took a cab down to Wrigley and as we passed the Trump Tower, I snapped this picture.  Turned out pretty well.

Friday night was the main event, TBS and Twix hosted a Just For Laughs Comedy Festival, we went to see Joel McHale, host of the Soup on E!.  He was great.  He talked a lot about his 2 sons which made me miss E even more. 

My family sent me some great photos of him having a blast while we were gone.  Good to know he was in good hands. 

After the Comedy event, we went to one of my favorite places...Bin 36 for a little wine.  Yumm!

Any now we're on our way home.  It really was great to reconnect with S.  We had a great weekend which reminded us why we are married.  We love each other and I don't see that changing anytime soon. 

Now it's time to get back to the other man in my life.  I miss him so!
