Katie Was Here

Katie was in Chicago this week. She was taking a writing and improv class at the famous Second City (home to Tina Fey and more).

That meant that Mommy got to hang out with Katie (and Jeremy) a lot this week.

First up, pizza at Lou Malnati's (just a block away from our new place). It is a favorite of Jeremy's. Mommy said it was really good (and it must be, the wait was almost an hour for a table). They stopped by after dinner to say hi to me :-).

The next night, they all decided to go to the Willis Tower Sky Deck. But first, dinner in the theatre district (very close to Mommy's work).

Then it was off to Willis Tower. Mommy, Jeremy and Katie spent almost 2 hours waiting to get up to the top of the building. So, they took the time to learn more about the building (and Katie got a chance to do her homework).

More than 100 floors up (and a minute later), they were at the top to experience the city at night - and from a different view.

And then, Mommy was brave enough to step out on the sky deck. Essentially, it is a plexiglass (like) box that hangs out over the city. It's like you are walking on the city. Mommy said it was great as long as you did not look down.

And then came the last evening. They went to RPM, the Italian restaurant owned by Bill and Giuliana. They loved it. In fact, Grandpa Mac thought it looked good and looked at the menu online. Mommy told him he would take him and Grandma there when they come for a visit.

Thanks Katie and Jeremy for coming to visit me and Mommy this week. We both had a blast.
