we went to chicago on tuesday night to visit the rolfs.

we toured the city’s culinary palatte and saw an amazing variety of restaurants from HB, to Lou Mitchell’s, to Hot Dougs – all nationally known for their fare.  the first day we braved our adventurous side and tested out some ethiopian food.  we were all really surprised how much we loved the beet salad!  we, like lo and chris, fell in love with their favorite sushi place – the butterfly.  the sushi was amazingly fresh and we could not get enough of it!  BYOB – is a new concept to us.  we do not have this in nc.  will and i could not believe that a restaurant would find it profitable to allow you to bring in your own bottle of wine and serve it to you with your dinner!  a fabulous treat!

we took a walking tour of the city and visited all of the world famous chicago locations.  luckily, we brought warm weather with us, so only the first two days were unbearably cold.  the first day, when we were out walking we stopped into the Ghiradelli store to get some hot beverages.  lo and will were not fans of the literal hot chocolate.  by the time we headed it out of town, it was in the 50’s!  very warm for a chicago february! 

we played multiple board games to humour ourselves during the week nights.  jenga was amazingly great, until i knocked down the tower of over 30 blocks!  way to go, steady handers!  we also played battle of the sexes.  thankfully, lo and i won on that one, so we pulled one out for the ladies in the end.

we all headed out to second city comedy club on friday night.  this is the place where so many famous comedians have gotten their starts.  the place was sold out, and rightfully so – the show was amazingly hilarious!  we laughed our butts off!  we all wanted to go back and see it again, but you have to get your tickets early – so let’s buy some now for this summer’s visit!

we can’t wait to head back in august!  mark your calendar!
