Peanut

I realize I have yet to comment on Peanuts weekend with the dog sitter...hilarious. The girl is a little interesting... is is common for a pet sitter to ask u if you have a belt she can borrow and where your nail polish is? I am unsure as to how we personally like her but I will say Peanut seemed fine when we got home. When we first open the bedroom door where his crate is he seemed really confused to see us he just stared at me then he started whining and cryign and yelling... now hes back to being himself:) thats all for now

Chicago day 5






On day five we woke up later than normal (930) and ate breakfast at the b and b...we said bye to the lovely owners and headed to HARPO studios:) The store was closed but we took some pictures outside and peeked in windows. On the way home we hit the outlets which was insane! But we really didn't buy anything on the drip besides some magnets at the sears tower so I treated myself to a new watch to commemorate the trip on sale of course and pat treated himself to a pair of timberland's... on clearance:) Now we are home in bed reviewing the picture and playing with Peanut who we missed dearly! Hope all is well back to work tomorrow:)

Chicago Day 4











On day 4 we went to the Alder Planetarium and to the Field museum. By now we were kind of tired of museums...actually tired in general! We went to a yummy brunch sport and had pancakes. Patrick had 4 berry and white chocolate and I had lemon ricotta coconut gram cracker... or something like that either way very yummy.  Then we went to our friend Joeys Birthday party and meet up with Billy and Scott:) It was great to see the guys and Joeys house is so cozy!! Day 5 is go home day we we don't have much planned so we will see...

Chicago Day 3











Day three started with another yummy break fest at our B and B. We then headed to the Shedd aquarium which was amazing, but it was probably the busiest place we have been yet! After that we went lunch at a place not worth mentioning followed by Navy Pier! What a interesting place! The lines for the rides were too long to wait in but we did watch the Cirque Shanghai AMAZING! After the show we had tickets for the Tall ship windy sailboat so we set sail and got some amazing twilight pictures!. Last we with to a place called dicks for dinner which was basically a pub where they are know for a comedy bit.. the purposely are rude and make hilarious hats for people! Headed home and literally crashed:) Hope all is well back home we are missing our pup like crazy ttyl:)

Chicago day 2











Well Day 2 was just as exciting as day 1 was! Fist we went to the museum of science and industry for the Harry Potter Exhibit, which was awesome! Don't worry its next stop is BOSTON MA!!!! Then we left there are headed to Smoque a restaurant off the blue like that has amazing BBQ...this is another restaurant from dinner drive-in and dives! After that we went to Sears Tower and took some amazing pics of Chicago and walked into the skydeck (YIKES) it is basically a clear plastic (industrial strength) so you can walk into and look straight down into the city! After that we went to our new favorite Tea store Argo... and the Red Sox Game which was BRUTAL!!! PICS TO COME:) TTYL

CHICAGO day 1











Here's a little update an some pics...first we went to six flags which was fun! No lines no waiting we literally would walk right onto the rides! Pat and I did realize we aren't as young as we use to be though! By the end of four hours we were beat and luckily had done every roller coaster in the park. Unfortunately our heads were killing us so Excedrin was needed! After we went to Kumas Corner and had an amazing burger with caramelize onions, brie and spiced pear yum yum! It was like a heavy metal pub lots of fun and great people watching. We then drove to the B and B to settle in and walked to get our tee passes and go into the city to walk around...we found millennium park and took load of pictures.. enjoy:)


im sorry if it doesnt work i'll add them when i get home!

Bye bye see you next week!!

CHICAGO here we come!!:) We in less then 18 hours. Life is good Patrick and I haven't seen each other since Sunday, we have been working opposite shift, but the trip planning has been split in between the two of us:) I am excited to talk to him tomorrow! We haven't even started packing but knowing us we will wake up in the am and do that. Say a little prayer for good weather for the trip so far it looks nice. I have some new yummy recipes for you first is Quarterback chicken and second is Hollywood squares(not good for you at all but yummy, make a batch and freeze a lot so you don't eat them all!), so go to the tasty kitchen website and look them up! For the chicken one I would half the mayo/Dijon it made way too much for me! Anyway that's really all for now we are just gonna try to finish up a few things tonight/tomorrow and leave in the early am:) Wish us well. Miss you!

Love and Hugs
