Traveling Pants

Last weekend we went to Chicago to visit some friends and go to Ravinia for a Counting Crown concert. It was lots of fun! Lucy even came to the concert with us (it is really just a big yard - and people just bring chairs, tables, food and drink) and visited with her buddy James.



This past weekend we traveled back up to Chicago and saw more friends. Marcus had a guys shindig on Thursday night and I stayed with my friend Katie who I hadn't seen in about a year! Lucy LOVED her dog Henry.



Then on Friday, I drove to the city to see my long-time friend Lexie who is back from living in New Zealand! We stayed with her on Friday and went out with Marcus and a few friends for dinner! Then Saturday Marcus played golf and I shopped and played in the city before heading out to the suburbs to meet up with Marcus and go to our friends house for a cookout. We stayed there and got up early for my nephew's baptism on Sunday morning in Bloomington!



Whew! What a weekend. But I counted and I saw at least 17 friends - in one weekend! Really - a weekend can't get better than that!

This weekend we are packing up and flying out on Friday to San Fransisco! My life-long friend Lindsey Boehm is getting married and it is going to be such a great time!

So, lots of traveling and lots of friends! Thankfully, Lucy goes with the flow and is a pretty great traveler! (Although she was a little cranky at times with her first left lower molar coming though.) The next few weekends are busy too, with U of I games and a few weddings, but you only live once right?

I figure, we can relax and stay put at home - in the winter - when it is cold and snowing and we don't want to go outside!
