Memorial Day Weekend

My Memorial Day weekend started a little late, as I had to work until midnight on Friday. After work, I cam home and cleaned the apt in preparation for the arrival of Mel. Mel arrived early on Saturday which gave us more time to have fun. Saturday afternoon we hung around my apartment and played some old school nintendo and caught up with each other. We went out for dinner to a thai restaurant and had some amazing fried rice. Afterwards, we hung out with Jenne and then headed down the street so that Mel could say Hi to the locals and meet Josie. Zimmer and Tisha met us out and we all had a good time, ending up back at my place where we chatted for a few hours, before heading to bed.

Sunday, Mel and I took on the Windy City. We went to Navy Pier then walked to Michigan Ave then walked and saw the bean in Millenium Park. After that we headed down to State St to do a little shopping. After all that walking, Mel took her first ever L ride back to my place where to got the apt ready for the girls to come over. The drink of the night was white cran-strawberry champagne martinis...and were they good? Amazing. Maggie, Megan, AJ, and Jenne all came over then we frolicked about the neighborhood until we landed at Hawkeye's because Ed was working. It was a good time had by all.

I took Mel to Union Station this morning, so she could make her way back to Madison. Now, I must pull myself together and get ready to head into work.
