Chicago!

Over the weekend, I flew up to Chicago and met three of my girlfriends from high school. Karissa is a CPA in Seattle and had a business trip out to Chicago to audit a hotel, so Charissa flew in from Virginia and Shelley drove up from Indiana and we all got to visit with each other for the weekend. Charissa was the planner for the group. (Thank you Charissa!) Friday night we went to the original Uno's Pizza, which is Chicago style deep dish. Then, Saturday we spent the day downtown. We walked the magnificent mile, and boy was it magnificent! I've decided that I need a whole week, plus a lot of money to go shopping up in Chicago. We also went to the Signature Room at the top of the John Hancock so we could see the city from up high. For dinner we went to Lowry's and experienced the famous roast beef, and then took off to the Oriental Theatre for the Broadway production of "Wicked." It was great being able to see my friends, so who I hadn't seen in a long time again. Hopefully we'll be able to do it again soon!

Charissa said she had a "food" baby, so we compared to see whose baby was bigger. :)
