Weekend In The City... Part 3

Our fun night out with friends in Chicago was May 10, 2014.  The other two couples arrived at the hotel and we got started on the fun!

 

Sarah, Megan and I took a cab to get our hair and makeup done at Goldplaitd. It was fabulous! We had champagne and got pampered.

Hair. CHECK.

Make up. CHECK.

Fun girls. CHECK.

We all came to Chicago to celebrate Farooq and Sarah's anniversary. Before dinner we a little bit of the bubbly to start the celebration!

Wedded bliss :)

Popping bottles of bubbley...

 

So then, after a toast and glasses clinging, we headed a few blocks away to the John Hancock building. We had dinner at the Signature Room on the 95th floor of the building.

 

We were what you might call fancy...

Oh, these boys.... always ordering big things.

None of us girls at it.

Alex's Lobster Bisque.

He loved it.

I kept the lobster's head and took it out to the bars with us.

My delicious chicken.

 

Alex's steak.

Our view from the table.

This is the view in the lady's bathroom.... it's one of the best views in the house.

 

Here is our rowdy crew. I seriously think they were super happy to see us leave. It was the type of restaurant where they have way too many forks for the amount of food you plan to eat and they even put your napkin on your lap for you. I get uncomfortable and trashy in restaurants like that :)

As always, Alex was giving the man working the elevator a hard time.

Always a comedian.

The Jacksons ready for some "clubbin'"

Jason and Megan...people who actually go clubbing and it isn't a far fetched idea to.

Farooq and Sarah....they left five month old twins, a four year old, and a 16 year old at home with a babysitter. This is their party faces.

Mannequins.

They both look so pretty here :)

 

We walked back to the hotel and freshened up. Then we got another surprise. Alex and Jason got us a limo for the night. We headed to a bar across town that wasn't very "poppin'". Then we headed to Sound Bar and did the clubbing thing. It was like a scene out of a movie for me. I'm more of a townie bar kind of girl. Less of a downtown, massive night club girl. It was fun. We had lots of drinks and there was a ton of people watching. Then we rode around town and blared music and danced in the limo. It was perfection. We ended back at the Drake at 2 am. We were all intoxicated and happy!!!

 

 

The next morning we all got up and walked to a place for breakfast/lunch a few blocks away. We had all felt better in the past :) It was a rough morning. We then checked out and headed home to see our babies :)  The kids had stayed with Mom and Dad all weekend. They had even gone to the Villa for the Saturday and Sunday. Gigi and Papa dropped them off around 5 pm which gave us a chance to take a bit of a nap. Awesome weekend with friends :) We had so much fun!!
