Well I am home from a wonderful trip, did you miss me? Well we started out on our trip on Monday, July 21. We were driving from Phx to Chicago. Our plan was to drive to arrive on Wednesday, July 23rd. We stayed Wed & Thur at an apartment in Old Town/Cobbler Square Lofts.. We had a really cute apartment were about a mile from my sons place. On Wednesday we met up with him and his lovely fiancee for dinner at Twin Anchors and had some wonderful BBQ. We went back to their place for a bit for cocktails and called it a night around midnight.
Thursday Rob and I hung out around our apartment and met up with the kids and some of his friends and ours that were in town for the wedding at Tin Lizzie’s. Again, a night of cocktails, LOL… are you seeing a theme?? Our younger son flew in Thursday and joined us for drinks.
Friday we headed out to Deerfield to the location of the wedding and checked into our hotel for the next two nights. Friday evening was Rehearsal and then back into Lincoln Park for rehearsal dinner. It was a wonderful evening and there were about 30 of us for dinner and drinks. We had rented a party bus to get us to and from the dinner. We got back to the hotel about 11 o’clock and guess what?? Everyone ended up in our room for cocktails… At 2 am I told everyone I didn’t care where they went, but they had to leave our room, LOL.
Saturday was the wedding and although there was no rain, it was VERY humid and it was an outside wedding. The ceremony was BEAUTIFUL and of course I got teary eyed, as I knew I would. The food was some of the best I have ever had and of course there was an open bar and we had more cocktails.. The dancing started with their first dance, then father/daughter dance and then mother/son. We danced to Billy Joel’s “She’s got a way” and I started crying as soon as I stood up to dance with him. We stayed at the reception until the very end, 1 am. Danced the night away with friends and family. Went back to the hotel and I was up until 3 am..
Sunday morning we all did breakfast at the hotel before heading off in our own directions. Rob and I, with friends of ours from Phx went back to Lincoln Park where we rented another apt for the next two nights. The couple are very good friends of ours and we planned to do some sight seeing on Monday with them. Our younger son flew home Sunday evening and my newly married son and daughter in-law came over to our apt for pizza and beer along with a couple other friends.. The kids were leaving early Monday morning for their Honeymoon. So here we were, another night of drinking, LOL…
Monday we went to Shedds Aquar and ended up back at our apt with the four of us having cocktails on the private rooftop of out apt.. Tuesday we started out journey home and our friends flew home… We were going to try to sight see through the CO Rockies, but it POURED and we were not able to stop. So instead we stopped at the Arches National Park and spent 4 hours there. We got back home on Friday..
So we had a fantastic trip and I have a couple pics I’ll share with you…
Oh My gosh! The amount of booze ya’ll drank! :-O Hope the hangovers weren’t that bad :-( When you get them, hope you’ll share pics of the wedding and reception. Hope they decorated the car good! Gary
