4th of July Weekend

Here’s what I did with a beautiful long weekend in Chicago:

On Friday I met Kirstin and Gunnar in the square at Paciugo for some gelato. After work John joined us and we went to Opart Thai House for dinner. It reminded me of Hilary, because I went there with her once and she is in Thailand.

On Saturday I read a lot in the afternoon. Totally hooked on our current book club selection The Paris Wife by Paula McLain. In the evening Zach and I went out to dinner at Pitchfork with Mark. Apparently, I didn’t like it before because they only had one veggie option on the menu, but this time I had the most amazing portabella mushroom sandwich ever. Pretzel bun, portabella mushroom, arugula, grape tomatoes, and feta cheese. I can’t wait to go back.

On Sunday Zach and I went to see Larry Crowne, because I couldn’t resist. Whatever critics, I thought it was magical. Then, we met John, Kirstin, and Gunnar at the park for some swinging.



We also went over to their apartment later to grill out.

On Monday we all went to Lake Bluff to Kirstin’s cousins Jessica and David’s place. We got to see a fun parade and play with baby Gunnar and Jessica and David‘s baby daughter, Ela. So much fun.

At the Parade

Zach is now known as the baby whisperer, because while everyone was getting lunch ready the babies were crawling all over him.

Happy 4th of July everyone.
