Hmm. . . Gorging ourselves at Taste of Chicago wasn’t enough, so after running errands downtown Nancy came down from Milwaukee and we went to Margie’s Candies for ice cream!! And then we met Abby and Kristin out and had a nice dinner at Settimana Cafe and went out for drinks after that. The next day we got up and had breakfast and then Jeannette & Tien had to leave for the airport. Thanks for visiting guys, I had a great time (even if it was too short and all we did was eat)! I’ll see you in September.

Chicagoist has more photos of and a list of all of the food that Tien, Jeannette & I ate at Taste of Chicago. Also, although I’ve seen many photos of the Millennium Park, Saturday was the first time I’ve actually seen it for real. The top photo is Frank Gehry’s footbridge leading from Grant Park to Gehry’s pavilion in Millennium Park.

After some messed up travel arrangments (thanks, Mother Nature!), Tien and Jeannette arrived in Chicago on Saturday morning instead of Friday night. We decided to go to Taste of Chicago where we could carry on our tradition of taking photos of each other stuffing our faces. It was a fun time, we did a lot of people watching, and we ate a lot of good food.

Nancy and Josh got more photos of Riley this week. She’s 5 weeks old and still very tiny! Her hair is making me laugh. I bet she’s going to have beautiful, thick hair when she’s older.
