48 Hours in the Windy City

I left Jaima with mom and dad at the Chicago airport (thanks sis) to spend a couple days in Chicago with Drake. I met Drake out for a casual BBQ dinner in the West Loop before going to check out his new digs. He's got a great place and some wonderful roommates from Miami. 

Marshall arrived late on Wednesday and we both worked from a great hotel room that was within walking distance to Drake's place. Drake came to our hotel after work and we hooked up with his roommates (and one of their mom's that was visiting) for drinks before grabbing a delicious Mediterranean meal at Aba (we were able to snag a reservations thanks to the pouring rain). Our stroll back to Drake's place after dinner was much drier than our walk to the restaurant. We then enjoyed a couple of games of Euchre at Drake's before going to back to the hotel. 

Friday brought more work, but I was able to walk over and meet Drake for lunch around the corner from EY. Looking forward to visiting again soon and getting to spend a bit more time in the city with Drake!
