Girls Weekend!

Last weekend my girlfriends Brie and Margaret came to visit.  I'm so thankful they were willing to come visit us in Chicago so I didn't have to travel with (or leave for a weekend...gasp) Adam :)  We had a blast!!  They got in Friday afternoon and Tom played chauffeur and picked them up from the airport.  We caught up and relaxed at the apartment before heading out to dinner and to Second City.  We grabbed a quick bite at Corcoran's since it was directly across the street from Second City.  The food was actually pretty good!  Second City was hilarious, but I think the original show we saw will always be my favorite :)




Saturday we  had a lazy morning relaxing around the apartment, snacking on breakfast casserole while we waited for Adam to take his morning nap.  Eventually we headed out to Hash House a Go Go for brunch. Surprisingly there was no wait at all and we were seated immediately.  Everyone had delicious plates, including their famous BLT Bloody Mary topped with chipotle seasoned bacon!  Adam even enjoyed some blueberry pancakes, who knew?! 


After brunch we walked downtown and headed to The Signature Lounge at The Hancock Tower.  The wait wasn't too bad, so we rode the elevator up 96 floors and enjoyed a drink and some dessert as well as the view!  We were all pretty exhausted after our little adventure, so we went back to the apartment to nap and regroup.  After Adam (and Brie's) naps, we went to Brie's friend (and now my friend too!) Allison's Cinco de Mayo/Kentucky Derby party.  We didn't stay long, since Tom stayed home with Adam and it was getting close to his bedtime, but it was good to get out and see some people I hadn't seen in a while. 

Sunday we slowly got up and ready and eventually went over to our local dive diner, The Sunshine Diner for breakfast before Tom drove the ladies back to the airport. It was a great weekend and I love spending time with these girls!!!
