Jason and I went to Chicago to spend the 3 day weekend with my good friend Kimmi. We had such a good time and it was nice to just get away for a couple of days. We got in town on Saturday around noon and took the train from the airport to meet Kimmi and her boyfriend, Peter, for lunch. Afterwards we headed to Kimmi's apartment and settled ourselves on her back porch stocked with a full cooler and several games. We did not leave that porch for hours! We had so much fun sitting around and playing catch phrase, bags, and mad gab. All highly entertaining games that only get more entertaining after a few beers! If you have never played Mad Gab you should buy it for your next game night. It's pretty simple but so funny. Each player picks a card which has a string of words on it that make no sense and they have to sound it out.
For example: hype people earth duh hey
Say it over and over. Can you figure it out?
Answer: Happy Birthday!
It's pretty funny to watch/listen to people figure it out when their eyes are telling them one thing and their ears another.
Saturday night we enjoyed a late dinner at a great little Mexican place in a part of Chicago called Boys Town. Let's just say Jason got way more attention than Kimmi and I!
Sunday we relaxed and hung out at Kimmi's place and then met up with my parents and my brother, Christian, who were all in Chicago as well. Christian lived in Chicago for years and was back for a wedding. My parents didn't want to pass up the opportunity to spend some time with him since he's in Denver now and it's hard for him to get home. So we had a mini family reunion!We went to Pequods for deep dish pizza, a Chicago specialty. It was delicious!
