Back From Chicago! Thank Goodness!

My first trip to Chicago (Jeremy's hometown) was fun (except in the back seat of the car)... Here is the neanderthal fitting right in... at the Field Museum of Natural History.



Here we are at the Cubs Game- we were at rooftop party across the street (total view, bleachers, and free food and bevs... even better)




Here I am with my future sister-in-law, Abby and my first of too many martinis... they say "Martinis are like Boobs- one is not enough, two is perfect, three is too many...? I 'think' I had about 5-6... and a terrible night after...

It was great seeing where Jeremy grew up and his schools. And meeting future family... Plus the wedding we went to was fun! even if I only knew a handful of people there. I only got annoyed a few times and those times faded away with a few free minutes to myself... thank goodness for rooms on different floors!
Will have to go back again someday... maybe with just the two of us....

Tomorrow we leave for Chicago... hummmm... the midwest in the summer... YUK!

can you say "humidity will be the death of me!" five times real fast? I can PERFECTLY!!!

3) NO- going to an OUTDOOR Wedding... and missing my friends' wedding here at home

4) Yes- Going to see the Cubs play at Wrigley Field (well actually we will be on a rooftop at a party in the outfield)
