Murder Mystery Night

Last Friday, Jeremy and I went to a murder mystery dinner at a friend's house. It had a James Bond type theme. I was Diane Otherday (get it...Dying Another Day). Jeremy was Felt Odd (the odd job man). I thought that maybe I had killed Mr. James Bland, because my clues were so vague. I was told that I had been under the power of a criminal mastermind to kill Mr. Bland and eat his heart. Gross, I know, but I was the Voodoo lady! Anyway, Kevin the gardener was the killer and no one guessed him.

Rest of Chicago Trip

As you can already tell, Jeremy and I spent several days in Chicago and the burbs with part of his family.

On that Friday we arrived, we got to see the Broadway show, Wicked. It was Jeremy's first Broadway play. We both absolutely loved it. I would highly recommend anyone to go see it.

On Saturday we spent most of the day at Cantigny Park, where we learned more about different wars the US participated in and we learned about the McCormick family who basically was a founding family to Chicago.

Sunday was spent hanging out with the family at the Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder and at Sammy & Gigi's city apartment. Please note that Gigi decorated the entire apartment, including painting and doing the artwork. She is amazingly talented and comes highly recommmended by us both.

Monday turned out to be a rainy day, but we made our way through the city doing some sightseeing and having lunch at the Signature Room on the 95th floor of the John Hancock building. Amazing views of the entire city!!!

Tuesday we did a little shopping at the Woodfield Mall and in downtown Naperville. And then returned to reality on Wednesday. All in all it was a fun-filled trip and we are looking forward to next year when we can take our little one with us.
