This weekend was long awaited! It was one of my best friend's 30th birthday parties and we surprised her by going to Chicago. We picked her up Friday after work, got stuck in a huge traffic jam which added 1 1/2 hours to our driving time and finally made it to our hotel downtown.
We quick ran our stuff to our rooms and then went back down to the limo that was waiting for us! The limo took us to Fogo de Chao, a Brazilian steakhouse. It was delectable:) Or as we overheard a kid at the table right next to us, the meat was "succulent".
After we ate we rode around in the limo for awhile, driving down Michigan Avenue and the going to see Navy Pier at night.

Saturday was a lazy morning, a little bit of walking around and lunch before going to see Sister Act! (The sun was not in a good position for picture taking right then)
After the play we had to go back to the hotel to get our luggage and van which was quite the trip. We were in a hurry to get back for something that night and there was not a taxi to be found anywhere. Finally we got one and when we arrived at the hotel it was swarming with firetrucks! Turns out there was no fire, just a burst water pipe, but it did add to the chaos! A couple of the girls took a picture in front of one of the trucks and the firefighter noticed. So he opened up the door of the truck and invited us in for a group shot!
We made it back just in time for our plans that night. Thankfully there were no traffic jams on the way home. Just a van load of tired girls who had a great weekend. There were a few people (they know who they are) who took care of almost all of the expenses for the weekend. Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! A splendid weekend indeed.
