Yo-cago

Last weekend our friend Mike Yo came to visit.  The last time we saw Mike was a few years ago when he came to visit us in Alabama (Yohanabama).  (For some reason we like to give Mike's visit an official name...we should do this with everyone!) 

Mike got into town Friday afternoon and we headed to Old Town for some dinner before catching another show at Second City.  We ate at O'Brien's, which ended up being perfect. The heat finally decided to break a little bit so we sat outside and caught up before heading to Second City.  We saw the same show that we saw a few months ago with Joe and Laura (100th Revue), and it was just as good the second time around! 

Saturday morning we had breakfast at our new favorite diner (the Sunshine Diner) around the corner before heading downtown.  We thought Mike would enjoy the Architectural boat tour, so we booked tickets and ended up with the same tourguide we had when we went with Joe and Laura.  He told the same lame jokes but we still found them funny. You can't go wrong when you're sitting on a boat with a cold 312 in hand on a summer afternoon in Chicago!

After the boat tour we took the obligatory trip to the Bean in Millenium Park before heading to the original Pizzeria Uno for some deep dish.  (Or maybe we did pizza first and then the Bean since Mike is holding our leftovers...aka a 10 pound weight...in the Bean picture below)!  Tom kept making fun of me and Mike the whole time because we were bonding over how awesome our iphones are.  (Mike was a late iphone bloomer like myself). 

Saturday night we made plans with our neighbors to meet up at this german bar that is right down the street from us (Mirabell). Our friend Kedar drove down to join us and we had a good time hanging out in the beer garden, catching up, drinking german beer and laughing!

And of course Bailey was beyond excited to be able to sleep on the couch bed. Mike said she even cuddled with him the second night! She never cuddles!!
