What a FUN week in Chicago! Oprah was just the beginning of a great week with friends and family. Early in the week I caught up with my friend Allyson from high school. We have not seen each other in about four years. But thanks to the internet, we have kept in touch. I was also able to meet up with my friend Matt from high school, and his wife Lori. He gave me a great tour of Chicago at night, driving all around the city to show me the sights. While I have been there a few times before, it was nice to see it with a good tour guide.
Darrel and I decided to have lunch at the top of the Hancock Building, which is pictured below. Matt gave me a heads up on this one- you have to pay $12 a person to get to the top observatory floor, but if you go to lunch, it's about $15 and the same view. We were SO high! the restaurant is on the 84th floor.
My cousins Heather and Kelly came to town on Friday afternoon, so we could have a fun little girls weekend. I got all of my work out of the way in the morning, and we spend the afternoon shopping on Michigan. Then after a long afternoon of shopping, we went to go see Wicked! All of us absolutely LOVED it. It is so clever, and so well done. Heather said she wanted to go back on Saturday. :) We went out with Darrel and some other friends after the show, and stayed out a bit too late...
