What an amazing weekend!

I will start by saying that I wish you all had a wonderful Mothers Day. I know that we did! We had our Moms here for a fun filled BUSY weekend. We spoiled them a bit and I think they had a great time!



Saturday we headed downtown and went to Buca's for lunch. There spagetti is SO good and we all loved the little tour that they give you through the kitchen before they seat you. Definatly unique! After lunch we went and saw a few sights on our way to the surprise destination. We were able to get a few great shots along the way.

Our surprise destination was WICKED!!! They had NO idea that it was coming and boy were they surprised! We went right in and took in the amazing beauty of the Oriental Theatre. That place is like a palace. Our seats were in the balcony so it was a different view than when Shaun and I went in January. It was still a great view and one hell of a show! The talent of these actors is unbelievable. I look forward to seeing it again one day!

After Wicked we headed to Millenium Park so my Mom could see Cloudgate (aka. the bean) No matter how many times I see this sculptor it still gets me every time!! We took several photos there and then walked over by the Face fountains. Both Mom's thought that those were pretty cool. After all that we went home, made a trip to IKEA and then hada yummy dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. Day 1 is a success!!

Sunday we had tickets for the Cubs game. We did not know if we would be able to make it because the weather was nasty in the morning. Winds like crazy and it was raining pretty hard. We called the box office and they said the game was still on so we all bundled up, I grabbed 4 blankets and we headed to Wrigley Field. It was Mothers Day so the women all got pink Cubs hats. We found our seats and got ready for the game. It ended up being a great game and the Cubs won 6-4. YAY!! We then headed home and had a nice relaxing evening here at the house. It was a great weekend and I am so happy that we were able to do this for them. Hopefully they will be able to come again sometime this summer and we can show them some more sights.
