Memorial Weekend

Shaun and I had a great weekend. We both had to work on Saturday but we had Sunday and Monday off. On Sunday we drove over to Downers Grove and I stopped at Memories and Beyond to scope out what they had. I picked up a few baseball items that will be great with all the Cubs pictures I have. After that we drove around Oak Park to check out some of the Frank Lloyd Wright houses. Man, those are some cool houses! We are going to try to get back and do the tour. We got back into the city and did our grocery shopping for the next day and went home to relax for the rest of the night and watch National Treasure 2. Sunday we woke up and went to Home Depot to pick up a stand and gas for our new grill. It's not Memorial Day if you don't grill out!! :D We came back to the house and we did some cleaning and put the air conditioners in and then chilled out until dinner. We had picked up some steaks and I was so excited to try them out on the new grill. They were SUPER yummy and I made cheesy scalloped potatoes to go with it. Dinner was great! The day was great other than it went from 85 degrees down to about 49 degrees in a mater of minutes, literally!! Gotta love the Midwest. Here are a few pics that we took over the weekend. Enjoy!
