Last Wednesday, my parents surprised me and flew into Chicago for my birthday. (Yes, they’re awesome.) I think one of the best parts of that night was realizing–a good 20 minutes after the big reveal–that they were staying through the weekend. I really couldn’t believe it. :)
Some highlights from the trip:
- Getting kicked out of the Lincoln Park Zoo (Apparently five-pound puppies are not allowed!)
- All-you-can-eat sushi at Sushi Para II (Mom and I almost didn’t make it)
- A two-hour-long breakfast date downtown (with Noodle in my bag)
- Watching the ND game at Kelly’s Pub (Where these photos were taken)
- Sneaking Noodle into my parents’ hotel
- Summer House (Obviously!)
- Celebrating Mitch’s birthday at the Emigs’ (Gabby’s family! Such a blast… Happy birthday, Mitch!)
- Dinner at Lawry’s (Goodness)
- Setting up Sonos
- Corcoran’s
- Uber rides (How many did we take?!)
- French toast at Jam ‘n Honey
- Naps on the couch with Noods
- Shopping at Barbour and Barker & Meowsky
- Scenic walks through Lincoln Park to Old Town
- Homeslice (Typical, right?)
Clearly, a whole lot of eating, haha. ;) But seriously–so many laughs and amazing memories! (Scroll down to see photos from the trip.) I’m pretty sad it’s all over, but I’m headed home next week… so my eyes are on the prize!
Love you so much, Mom and Dad. Thanks for everything.
