We had a very windy storm here in Connecticut on Friday. Thor woke me up at 1:30 am the night to Saturday by barking at the wind. Our terrace is above our bedroom and when there is a strong wind you can hear the furniture wobble a bit and T thinks it’s intruders. I couldn’t fall back to sleep after that, and then we had to get up by 3:30 to get ready. Guess if I was tired?
Hundreds of flights were cancelled the night before because of the storm, but by the time we were leaving (flight was at 6:15am) it was all fine. We made it to a sunny Chicago a bit early. We had all day to hang out before we had to get ready for Sandy’s birthday party. Both my husband and I took a nap after breakfast. After lunch, Jim, his stepdad and I sat outside in the sun for awhile. A real spring day, so lovely!
We got ready and drove to Frankfurt. The party was at a popular Mexican restaurant, Fat Rosie’s. We had tables in the back. We had so much fun. I have never heard Jim’s mom laugh that much, she seemed to have had a great time.
When everybody had left, Jim and I stayed. Bob, Sarah and their friend Mike joined us after a few minutes and the five of us had a really fun evening going from bar to bar. We were back at the house by 1:30 am which is probably the latest we’ve been out since last time we saw Bob and Sarah in June:) So, I was awake for 24 hours and I slept like a rock!
We didn’t do anything on Sunday. We were all tired and around 2pm we left for lunch before we had to go to the airport. We had a fun and quick trip to Chicago. It was nice to be able to celebrate my mother-in-laws 60th birthday:)
A video from our weekend will come up tomorrow, Wednesday.
