The day after we got back from Amanda's birthday weekend, I had the opportunity to head to Chicago for a couple days and meet up with my friend, Aeleah! It was a short but sweet trip and I am very glad that she thought of inviting me to join her (she had a work conference there that weekend) since I don't get to see her too often anymore now that she is living near San Fransisco. I flew in to Chicago and met Aeleah at O'Hare, we took the train into downtown, checked into the Sheraton, and had an evening at the spa that night, complete with massages, manicures, and pedicures. After 3.5 hours at the spa, we enjoyed a nice meal out then back to the hotel for some visiting.
The next day, we spent the day walking around downtown and doing a little bit of shopping. We enjoyed some REALLY great sushi (oh, how I've missed you, sushi!), and hit up the South Side of Heaven comedy show at Second City comedy club in the evening (if you've never heard of it, check it out - most of the Saturday Night Live comedians have gotten there start there!). Back to our room for room service and more girl talk (until 2am!), and then off to bed.
(Obviously we must have been busy having fun, since the only pictures I got were of our hands and feet after our mani/pedis!)
I had to head home again the next morning, and was pleased with myself for being able to figure out where the heck I was going. It was a long day of travel by the time I finally got back to Willmar, but I was happy to see my girls and surprised at how much I missed them after only 2 days! Thanks for a great couple days, Aeleah!
