A Visit From Cousin Jessica

Dallas’s cousin Jessica from Honolulu lives in Brooklyn now and was in Chicago over the weekend. She was nice enough to make time to come out to Logan Square and meet Makai and have dinner with us. We wanted to go to Revolution, but there was a wedding reception there and they were jammed so we went next door to Chicago Diner, the popular vegetarian restaurant. Jessica has a mostly veggie diet, I’d only been there for brunch, and Dallas had never been there, so it worked out great. And actually, it was really tasty and baby friendly.

Jessica was nice enough to bring Makai a few gifts, which I made him model the next day :). And for us, some totally decadent macarons that she brought from La Maison Du Macaron in New York and some amazing Belgian pastries from Hendrickx Bakery in Chicago. Leave it to the New Yorker to tell us where to get some amazing croissants in our own town!

It was great to visit with Jessica, since it had been about four years since we last saw her! And good to introduce Makai to more relatives!
