We started out at Portillos for a true Chicago hot dog and Mai Tai's. I know that it isn't the most appetizing thing to eat pork and rum at 11:30 a.m. but I had to get Ron his hot dog.
After that we hit Michigan Ave to walk down to the Bean andthe Art Museum (it's free in February!) I was bummed out because American Gothic wasn't there but it was nice just to walk around and warm up.
We went to a great BYOB Italian place for dinner then headed to a wine bar on Clark that was so fun. We got a great seat next to the fireplace and enjoyed a great bottle of red wine. Ron didn't feel good so he went home but the rest of us proceeded on to the Kerryman. I hadn't been there since my company party but it was a blast. We played Paparazzi and have about 45 pictures from the 1.5 hours we were there.
Saturday Jen and I got mani/pedis and shopped while the boys recovered. We had a great time catching up and I got the download on wedding details!
Saturday was obviously Valentines Day and we had big plans to have champagne at Pop's and Dinner at Red Light. Both were DELICIOUS! We had amazing food at Red Light and it was so romantic - the perfect place for V-Day.
Sunday I got to use my birthday present - Jersey Boys tickets! The play was just awesome. We all loved it. Great music and such a well done show. We had dinner at Hub 51 which was another solid choice.
Needless to say we had a fabulous time with our close friends, lots of eating, drinking and catching up. Jen and I don't see each other as much as we would like but when we do it's great. The next time I see her will be for her wedding shower. I can't wait!
