Honestly, our first weekend was spent in the suburbs, staying
at Vicky's sister's grandmother-in-law's house. Or something like that... It
was a blast, we went to a cheesy brew pub and discovered that Vicky was the
master of Star War's Trivia!

Somebody feels the need to
constantly adjust the music volume for the other diners on the patio.
hmmmm....who is justantisocial enough for that ... |
Cory, relaxing after a nice chocolate
porter. |

After gallivanting around the midwest for several days, we
returned to Chicago! This time, in a suite at the Fitzpatrick
downtown!
|
Brant, enjoying the patio at
Pizzeria Due |
Cory! |
Sean and Brent |
The guys, in front of the historic building,
home of the best pizza in Chicago! |
After a long adventure,
trying to find the Navy Pier of my memories and instead finding a chaotic land
of children... |
... we paused for a photo in front
of the beautiful Chicago skyline. |
The ever frightening "children trapped in an
eternal game of crack the whip" bronze statue was still there, but one child
appears to have escaped (leaving behind his hand). |
Vicky and I are nearly caught up in
it! |
Only Brent does not fear this
bear... |
Vicky enjoying the great
view from the women's restroom in the
John Hancock
Building. |
Only the woman's restroom has this view - it was
reported that the men's is small, dirty, and positively without breathtaking
views. |
Brent and Brant at my
favourite Mexican restaurant, Su Casa, which was opened by the same guy that
started Pizzeria Uno and Duo. |
Vicky and Cory! |
Sean and Me! |
After lots of Mexican food, and a
few margaritas, Vicky and I are ready to hit the town! |
Me and Vicky, in front of the same bar... |
Sean, shooting pool at Excalibur, home of the
worst djs on the planet... |
... but their pool tables are very
nice! |
Shopping at The Alley |
Brent, Sean, Vicky and Sean's new
hat. |
Vicky is exhausted! |
Cooling off... |
On our way to dinner |
...still on our way to dinner. |
Cool building downtown. |
Enjoying the cool building. |
