mimi redeemed a coupon for a private harp concert for herself and fifty of her nearest dearest friends....and we all flew in to chicago for the event. yea!
ryan and i spent friday checkin' out chicago (he'd never been) in the rain and fog. becca lent us her CTA pass and we caught the L downtown to the skydeck at sears, lunch (my pesto & chicken & stuffs sandwich was fabulous...i dream about it sometimes...), then over to the shedd aquarium (having a bit of difficulty with the bus system in the meantime), and back up to evanston to meet with becca before dinner.
where was dinner??? like that's a question. WALKER BROS.!!! i had potato pancakes with sour cream, of course. rumor has it they serve other things on the menu. i only know of the apple pancake (which we got to go and then ate for breakfast the next morning. ryan's still talking about that).
saturday was the concert, enjoyed by all. it was a beatuiful time, getting to hug mimi, mrs hughes, the aunts, and the pham.... we're going back again sometime to play some more....and eat more walker bros pancakes...
yum. |
