A day away!

Thanks to an EXTREMELY generous Christmas gift from my parents, Kevin and I got to spend a whole day and night downtown while the kids took up residence at BB and Papa's house .
It was SO MUCH FUN! We had a leisurely lunch at That Little Mexican Cafe in Evanston, then went to the Art Institute to see some unbelievable art, including the newly returned Chagall windows.


After that, we got to relax at our suite at the Union League Club before getting ready for dinner. When is the last time I spent 6:00 pm in bed? It was gloriously relaxing!

We had a fantastic dinner at Henri on Michigan Avenue. The food and the wine were out of this world! Loved the ambience, the staff, truly everytihng about it.
After a full night sleep without any monitors in the room (yeah!), we got to enjoy a nice brunch and then church at Covenant where we got married.
We ended the day with a quick trip to Sweet Mandy B's to pick up some cupcakes on our way out of the city.
It was a perfect day!
