Eat and Get Out

This is how I feel sometimes.

We headed up to Chicago to drag another relative through some of our favorite places and a few new ones. So far we have hosted Honey, Uncle Drew and now Aunt Amy, Chris' sister. Just a few more to go.

We tried the Field Museum, had another Meaty Legend at Gino's and were there for the grand re-opening of the American Girl Place. Georgia was so excited because we were having her doll's hair done at the doll salon for the very first time. I wish I had a picture of it...dropped the ball on that one. I even acquiesced to having Gabriella's (the doll) ears pierced-a totally new service. She was a little bummed that she could not watch it being done. I thought to myself that this was a good call. No one wants to watch their beloved doll get a spike hammered into its head. Probably would not fit with the oh so "pretty in pink" image they have going over there.

Our new stop for this trip was a diner called Ed Debevic's. Gigantic portions, cheeky waitresses (think of the PG version of Dick's Last Resort), and yummy, yummy food. Chris' milkshake was one of the best that I have tasted. We split this ginormous chili cheese hot dog. The darn thing was a foot long and not one of those skinny ones, either. Our waitress brought it to us saying "I've got a big wiener for you!" and calling out in passing,

"How's that big wiener going down?" and "Do you like my big wiener?"

We did.
