This week we collectively racked up a lot of new things.. For Jamie, well she had more kids spend the night with her than she’s ever had in her life. 5 in all. 3 moms and 1 dad. The kids were in charge.
For Trish and I, where do we start? We drove up to see Jamie so that’s a first. It also explains why Jamie’s house was overflowing! It was Trish’s first trip to Chicago, it was my first time to drive literally to the end of I-65 north. We visited a candy factory for the first time, we ate at a place in Valparaiso called Bartlett’s that had the most incredible Mac n Cheese EVAH’ The steak I had and the burger Trish had were both phenomenal.
We spent 2 days in Chicago, we went to the Shedd Aquarium, went to Millennium Park, saw the Bean, and ate some Chicago style pizza from Giordano’s. Oh and Trish drove a Prius.
Whew! That’s a lot of new in one week! What did you do?
