memorial day weekend.

 { Working from home with my favorite furry girl, sushi delivery, gigantic celebratory beer, apartment decorating progress }

{ Dressed up for a visit from the family, zoo style, carousel, sleepy rhino } 

{ Family photobooth photos, riding on a penguin, a visit to the bean, cheeburger cheeburger cheeburger } 

{ A patriotic Sears tower, brunch with Sara from Project Soiree, an exhausted Callie girl, the first meal I've cooked in awhile }

Wow, what a weekend.  It was the perfect Memorial Day weekend here in Chicago - the weather was hot and the sun was shining, I had family in town (for their first ever visit to the Windy City) and had a weekend that was just the right blend of fun, relaxation and productivity.  Summer sure is off to a great start and I'm more excited than ever for my first summer in the city and can't wait to show off Chicago to many more visitors (seriously, come visit me).  

Hope your weekend was just as fantastic - did you do anything fun?
