Auntie Kristin came for a visit - along with her friend Judy - to see Bono and the Boys (U2 to all of you) at Soldier Field.
First, Judy. Judy lived next door to Auntie Kristin and Mommy when they were children in Springfield, IL. Auntie Kristin reconnected with Judy a few years ago and now they go to concerts together. Mommy was so young she didn't remember Judy.
Mommy and Auntie Kristin made sure to show Judy a good time. They took her to the Sugar Factory (Auntie Kristin hadn't been there either) for some candy adult beverages. They also took her to their favorite jewelry place (thank god they didn't get all of this).
They even had donuts from the Doughnut Vault - and on the rooftop of our apartment building.
But, the real reason they both were here was to see U2 on the 30th anniversary tour for the Joshua Tree album.
Mommy rounded up a few of her friends that were also going to the concert and headed out to the concert.
Auntie Kristin and Mommy had great seats (they weren't sitting together).
The Lumineers opened for U2. If you'll recall, Mommy and Auntie Kristin saw the Lumineers last year at this time. Both agreed that they sounded a lot better last night.
And then U2!
Everybody had a great time! They didn't like the 1.5 hour trip home, but they made it home safely.
