So last weekend we flew to Chicago to attend Sara’s old college roommate Amy’s wedding.  The wedding was on Sat. but we took Thur. and Fri. off so we could spend some vacation time in the Windy City.  And why go to Chicago if you’re not going to experience some authentic Chicago weather?  It was like 50 and rainy the whole time we were there.

Thur. night we stayed with Dabu and went to dinner with MY old college roommate Chad and our friend Mike D (not of Beastie Boys fame).  We went to some tapas place, and it was really good.

Friday we went to the field museum in the morning and we got soaked on the way there.  I love the field museum because I absolutely LOVE dioramas!!  Seriously!  Sara hates them though (why?), so I don’t think she enjoyed it as much as I did.  We also saw the stuffed cadavers of the lions from the Ghost in the Darkness and Sue the T-Rex.  That’s a good museum.

After the museum we met up with our friends Alexis and Gregory and picked up our stuff from Dabu’s and then we ate at some Mexican place that had good margaritas and then we went to see Second City.  It’s a really good sketch comedy group in Chicago.  It was really funny and probably the highlight of the trip.  Oh, also on Friday, we got some bad directions from Dabu and had to walk like 10 extra blocks in the freezing rain trying to find a Swatch store.  That was probably the low point of the trip.

The wedding was nice and all, but we hardly got to see Amy at all.  Not much else to report.  It was a pretty good trip all in all. 

Also, I usually fly US Air, but let me tell you, on the way back we flew I think American Air and it was the best plane ride I ever had!!  Not only did we have twice as much leg room, they gave us Tostitos instead of pretzels.  I hate pretzels.
