We were so lucky to have some of our best friends come visit us over the weekend.
They wanted to a have a quick babymoon before they welcome a little girl in early November,
and we are so thankful they wanted to come visit us in Chicago!
We met Johnny and Marsha our first night in California. Johnny helped move us in (even though he didn't even know us), and then introduced me to Marsha the following Sunday at church.
For anyone who knows Marsha, you know she is quite possibly the nicest person in the world! In the first 3 min of talking to her she already had my number, in her phone, so we could go to dinner, and I already felt like we were best friends. They were a big part of the reason why leaving California was so hard. We spent almost every spare moment with these two, so it was so fun to have them come see our new home!
Day 1: We started off with lunch at a little Mexican joint in Humboldt Park...best meal of the whole trip. We then walked through our favorite place in all of Chicago...the Lincoln Park Zoo. Please note how amazing Marsha looks at 8 months pregnant! I die!
{I love where we live! We absolutely LOVE it. Sometimes I never want to move, though I understand this might change come the insane, freeze your gonads off, winter, but as for now..I've completely fallen in love with Chicago}
Day 1 continued: We headed out for an early dinner at Q, and then headed to a hilarious show at Second City.
Day 2: We started the day off with lunch (yes I did say started. We woke up around 11am every morning) at XOCO with the most amazing tortas. We then walked and shopped up and down Michigan Ave, took some time off our feet with a movie, and then dinner at another favorite: Chicago Oven and Pizza Grinder.
Day 3: We ended our time together with a great brunch at Meli Cafe & Juice Bar.
Thankfully we are going to California, at the end of October, so we get to see them real soon!
Thanks for coming and making our weekend, John and Marsh! We love you both so much...and baby girl Clayton!
