Mom & Dad in Chicago

My Mom and Dad came in town for the weekend. Thursday we went to Hugo's Frog Bar for dinner and then went to see Billy Elliott the musical. We treated my parents for their anniversary. Friday Craig and my Dad went to a Cubs game and had great seats. They got the tickets for free so it was even better. Afterwards they went out in Wrigleyville and my brother Bryan met them for some drinks. We eventually met them at Moe's Cantina, but first had a slight issue...they valet guy at lunch lost our key. I took my Mom to lunch at The Chicago Club, which is a really nice club Craig belongs for work. The key is not just a regular key, but a programmable one that allows for keyless entry, etc. It's not a cheap key, but luckily the club will pay for a new one. It was quite a hassle getting the other key. I called/texted Craig about 20 times, but his battery was low so it was off while he was at the game. My Dad could not hear his phone ringing at the game so it was very frustrating. Finally, Craig sent me a text and told me the key was at home. The valet guy drove me home to get my key and then we finally met them around 7 for drinks.

Here we are at a chinese restaurant in Wrigleyville.

Dinner at The Melting Pot with My Mom, Dad & Brother

My parents were in town to help me pack up our place for our move on April 7th. It was so nice of them to come...THANKS, Mom & Dad! You are the best. Love you so much. We had dinner at the Melting Pot, which is a fondue place in town. They have the best food. We had two different cheese pots to start, lobster, beef, chicken, shrimp, and veggies. Of course we also had to get the chocolate dessert with pound cake, rice krispies, strawberries, and marshmallows. Yummy!

Bottle of Justus with Mom & Dad

Craig, my parents, and I went to Bottle of Justus at Hog Head McDunnas. They played from 10pm - 1am and then we stayed and hung out with Chris & Joey until 2:45am. Yes, you read that right, 2:45am. My parents were rock stars dancing with girls from a bachelorette party. We all had such a great time.

Dinner at Luxbar with Mom, Dad, & Bryan

My parents are in town this weekend (they went to Breckenridge for a week so they stayed with us the weekend before and after their trip). We had dinner at Luxbar and then had a few drinks at Hugo's Frog Bar in the Gold Coast.

Happy Belated Anniversary, Mom & Dad.

They celebrated their 42nd wedding anniversary Aug 19 and went to Breckenridge to celebrate.

Frank Lloyd Wright

Craig and I have always wanted to see Frank Lloyd Wright's houses in Oak Park so we decided to take my parents there. My brother Bryan came as well, but he had seen it before last winter. We decided not to do the walking tour and instead we drove around and bought the map that showed all the houses. There were some pretty cool houses that he designed. We also stopped by the birth place of Ernest Hemingway and took a picture.

Mom & Dad in Chicago

My parents are in town for the weekend (Thurs-Mon) so we went out to dinner at Caoba (a Mexican restaurant) on Friday. The food was good and the drinks were even better. I had a mojito and my Mom tried mine and now she LOVES mojitos. After dinner we went to Kingston Mines to listen to live Blues music. Joanna Connor was playing and she is amazing! We had a great time. My brother Bryan also went out with us as well so it was a nice family affair even though we were missing my older brother John and my younger brother.
