CHI Town weekend

We had a great weekend! It started off with going to Chicago on Friday. It was a long day from the start, but it was fantastic. I had a meeting at the hotel at 1:30 that lasted until 3PM, so I drove Andrea to work (6:30am!!!! And I went to bed at 2am!!), came home, got my hair cut, worked out, got ready for a meeting at work, and then picked her up at 2:30PM. We drove home and while she was doing her workout, I got ready. We were planning on taking the 5:51PM train out of Kenosha to Chicago, but we missed the train by literally 2 minutes. Who knew the train was on time? We were pretty defeated at this point. Thank GOD Andrea called Lori/Tim to see where the next train stop was to see if we were able to catch another train. ("You do have the Internet, don't you?" Hahaha!). We were able to catch another train about 30 minutes away in Waukegan, IL...but we got lost trying to find it and barely made it. We sat down on the train about about a minute and a half later we were moving. Phew. I did not want to have to keep on chasing trains (literally...we ran to both trains).

We got in and Lori and Tim picked us up. We headed to Tim's place where we ordered in food (best chicken Alfredo I've ever had!!) and we headed to Frank's to finish off the evening with some beverages. It was such a fun night and I cannot wait to head back down there. The neighborhood where Tim lives is SO.CUTE. I love it!!!

We awoke the next morning around 9am and sat around watching TV and chatting. We were pretty hungry so Lori and Tim took Andrea and I to a Crepes place, again, not too far from Tim's place. IT.WAS.DELICIOUS. I had a Kiwi and Strawberry Crepe lined with Nutella and I am actually salivating thinking about it!! YUM!!!

After brunch, Lori and Tim drop us off at the train station. I must say, it was perfect timing, too. We didn't have to wait more than 5 minutes for the train to be in motion. We got home around 4PM and relaxed pretty much the rest of the night. Aaron and I made some Beef Stronganoff (It was so good!) and we were in bed by 10PM. I was pretty pooped from the previous day.

Yesterday was the usual. Andrea and I do yoga at our Aunt Diane's place at 10:30. After that, we come home and do our Sunday cleaning and chilled out until it was Oscar time. Diane invited us back over to her house to watch the Oscars. We had a great time as Aunt Di is probably one of the funniest people I know!

That pretty much sums up the weekend in a nutshell! Had a great time and I can't wait to do it again!!!
