Back from my trip to Chicago with Will.. now that was amazing. Saturday night we went out for dinner at an Italian Restaurant called Nick and Tony's.. That was awesome food. Sunday we went to the beach, where will and I scouted out beautiful girls and found many. I ended up talking to these girls from the suburbs and we spent much of the time on the beach with them. Then we left the beach and bumped into them again on michigan avenue as we were walking back to our hotel. We arranged to meet up with them again sometime tuesday or wednesday(which never happened unfortunately) but hey, they were both awesome and we had a lot of fun that day. Went to Park Grill in Mellenium Park for dinner.. awesome food. some guy in the booth adjacent to us started swearing and saying "this is fucking ridiculous! bullshit" all of a sudden and got reprimanded by the maitre`d, and then he stormed out. I think he was with his mom; she followed shortly thereafter. It was like a scene in a movie- everything went quiet and everyone turned to look at them as one. Awesome dinner anyway.. we went back to the hotel and passed out. Monday.. woke up way late.. went for breakfast/lunch at a place called Portillo's.. authentic Chicago style food with an amazing atmosphere. From there we just relaxed... then went to dinner at THE Weber Grill... after which we went to a Cubs game, vs. Reds at Wrigley Field. Unbelievable Stadium. It's just part of the neighborhood. Cubs lost, but the experience was still awesome and I'm glad I went. Tuesday I waited around for our friends from the beach to give us a call- they couldn't make it.. so will and I messed around during the day until about 5:30 which was when the lounge across the hall from us started its happy hour. free cocktails and hors douvres. we somehow managed to get a hold of some peronis from the bartender... not to get drunk or buzzed but just to be social. Anyway I ended up with a Chardonnay after that, and because my virgin body isn't used to any sort of an alcohol, the mixture of the two types went straight to my head. I was definitely buzzed.. but not really drunk. Kinda funny.. Anyway then we went off to dinner at a place called bella bocinos or something to that effect... walked to the Sears Tower to check out the view, and then back to the Hotel for the night. Next morning I tried to arrange somethin with the girls from the beach again.. but her friend was having a bday party, so nothin doing. So Will and I slept late... got up, wandered around michigan avenue and shopped a bit, then went to ESPN zone where we played some arcade games. We went to the Revello Lounge again, had a few drinks... The Amalfitini is amazing.. Martini, Amalfi Style. We spoke to these canadian girls that weren't quite our age at all.. but will was totally pushing it along so I went along with it.. so we went next door to the Redfish and bar and we ended up having dinner together. Then the Amalfi's bartender showed up, and we all hung out for a while. Got lots of pictures. Then we went our separate ways, and will and I went back nextdoor to the hotel, and passed out Woke up this morning, and through some unfortunate combination of events, I ended up back home. So that's summer I guess. I had a lot of fun and I wanna go back like tomorrow. Anyway, I'm out to pass out. really tired from flying. lateee
