CHI Town with the Girls

Last weekend I spent 3 incredible days in Chicago with Anne & Jenni. It was a mini "Nashville" reunion...all of our husbands went to Vandy (Residency, MBA, & Law) and now we're spread across the country (Cincy, Boston, Park City). We had a blast in Chicago...here are the highlights.

Restaurants (I plan trips around food!) - Rosebud on Rush, Bongo Room, Garrett's Popcorn, Frontera Grill, Toast, Sweet Mandy B's, & Bandera

Shopping - Michigan Ave, Lincoln Park, Old Town (The Spice House!), and we can't forget Trader Joes. We're in the taxi, Jenni sees Trader Joes and yells "Pull Over!" I guess we're stopping :)

Besides Shopping - The Bean and Bobby's Bike Hike (good find Anne!)

Our New Neighbor

On Sunday afternoon, after getting home from my girl's trip (more to come!) and of course after getting unpacked (that is the first thing Ry and I do whenever we get home from a vacay :) we went on our Sunday walk. We start at our house and make about a 1.5 mile loop. As walked past this one house (it is brand new and was for sale when we moved here but sometime during winter it sold) we noticed some signs in the driveway that said "Valet Parking" and also a catering truck our front. We said, "They must be having a party!" Well as we got closer we noticed a few people out front talking and low and behold, it was NICK LACHEY!!! We walked right in front of him. He was talking to the catering guys. It was crazy! Apparently he is from here; we've heard him on the radio a couple of times. And now he is our neighbor :) We were a little surpised he didn't invite us to his party! I'm sure we'll get an invite next time :)
