Back with tales to tell

So we made it to KC and back, this past weekend. But lets not get ahead of ourselves. Thursday night Barbara drove out to Wayne to pick me up, so we had dinner and then decided to go see Silent Hill. It wasn't great but was worth seeing. We drove back to Oak Park, then Friday we took the El to Midway, and the flight was only delayed 15 minutes. Tasha picked us up right on time, and we went to the Jazz for dinner, it was as good as i remembered. Barbara tried some crawfish. Took her through the plaza as it was pouring rain, stopped into Tomfoolieries for a few drinks, then over to Lu's to meet Fridge and Sean. Played a game of darts,then over to Tanners, where I ran into Mark and Joe. Back to Fridges, at about 3 Reid stopped by, talked to him and then hit the hay for the night.
Saturday Pat picked us up and we just made it to the wedding just in time. Drove by a liquor store, then back to the hotel, to check in. We got some food at the hotel, the service was so slow. Then Barbara took a short nap and i hung out and had a few drinks. We took a shuttle over to the wedding which was in a loft. The reception was fun, and after headed with Casey over to Tanner's downtown. Bernie came out to meet us, and ended up giving us a ride back to the hotel. Had a few drinks in the room and then went to sleep.
Sunday Tony picked us up and we went out to lunch with him and Michelle and Will. Had Thai food, and made faces at Will. He tiny and super cool. Tony drove us to the airport where we were on a gate delay for 2 hours. So we sat on the floor chatting it up, finally took off just to sit on the runway at midway for a half hour. Took the El home, where we arrived at around 9:30pm. Was a long day, had pizza for dinner.
Monday we started southbeach diet. Headed out to Oak Brook to go shopping. I bought nothing. Over to Wayne for dinner and that's it. Trip complete.
