i love craft beers.
And what better way to celebrate than dinner at DMK (typical) and stopping by our new favorite spot, Vrai Amour?
How it took us 2 years of living in Chicago to discover this place is beyond me.
Vrai Amour specializes in craft beers and amazing wines, holds tasting events and can be rented out for private parties. That's all great, but what keeps P and me coming back for more is their Make Your Own Six Pack. They have two large refrigerators in the back of the store stocked with some of our favroite beers - from Allagash to Dogfish Head, Two Hearted to Delerium, they've got us covered. It's so fun to fill up an empty six pack with exactly the beers we want.
After a delish dinner at DMK, we capped off the night with our beers, our friend M, and a stogie for the boys on P's roof. A perfect little celebration.

Once I get over my ambien hangover and jet-lag, I put my fate in the hands of our tour guide. (I truly have no say in this, as we typically travel in the pack of 14 on these trips...some serious QT with the fam). I am hoping that the tour guide will look something like Chris L, and we get to spend an afternoon olive oil wrestling. I mean....
After 4 days of experiencing Istanbul in similar fashion to the extremely romantic trip taken on The Bachelorette (with the addition of 13 loud family members, and a lot of complaints), we are headed to Cappadocia, a scenic cave village ( i took that straight out of the itinerary...i have no effing clue where/what Cappadocia is, but I know our hotel looks BAMF).
Regardless, the itinerary doesn't lie, and the place does look mighty scenic....
We will be spending the following night (yes, just one night...due to an epidemic of ADD, my family cannot handle more than 24 hours without action) in a town called Kusadasi at the Charisma Hotel.
We have no tourist type plans this day, so if my family sends out a search party looking for me, you will most likely find me here...
or here....
Umm...Yes Please! I cannot wait to trade in my view of the conference room for this!
And now that I have completely wasted 4 hours researching, and an hour posting about my hotels, I am officially going on this trip in whatever clothes I decide to wear on the plane. Unless I get my act together and start making piles of clothes tonight! (Who am I kidding, I have a severe case of OCD...I have a very well organized mental list going on...but its not official until it's in my suitcase).
Until then, the countdown begins.
7 days!

Candwich??
This is literally disgusting. For starters, I think most things that come from a can are disgusting. They remind me of cafeteria food, or canned fruit or veggies. Just plain gross. Especially these days, now that there are so many healthy alternatives to prepared foods. On top of that, PB&J sandwichs are a poor man's food to begin with (or a 5 year olds lunch). But then, you throw the canned bbq chicken sandwich in the mix. What on earth posessed Mark Kirkland to create this concept is beyond me. GROSS.

Bieber Fever
Seeing as this was my bros 2nd year (and he's the youngest child), we strolled in roughly 45 minutes late for pickup. L was less than impressed that he was the last one to be standing around waiting for his parents as 3:00 slowly approached. Poor timing aside, he was pumped to see us once we arrive. Not as pumped, however, as I was when I saw what he was wearing. The campers worked on silk screening projects... L's team created the below t-shirts.
The front....
The back....
Apparently the little man (with the help of DOE), has quite the sense of humor.

A weekend in the burbs.
All in all, a totally successful weekend. While C-Mac may have spent just as much money shopping as she would have during a night out on the town, we totally rejuvinated ourselves. Drank good wine, ate good food, hung out by the pool, and managed to be in bed by 10. Nothing beats that.
A few snapshots from our weekend away from the Big Apple....
ML had a bbq on Saturday night, and one of her friends brought flowers from her garden. While having tottie time on the deck, she began talking about her beetle problem she is having in her garden. Immediately C-Mac's ears perked up, at the sound of someone else having beetle problems. Unfortunately, this was a different type of beetle problem. While eating dinner, I noticed a beetle on the flower arrangement in front of our plates. It was a sign. If C-Mac had gone back to the city that night, as intended, she would have DEF been thrown off the tree. Look how happy that beetle looks, nestled on top of those flowers, watching us eat our bbq pork and corn on the cob!
Post dropping C-Mac at the train station, I went with my cousin, ECQ, to gather our stuff from the pool, and as we turned the corner, we came across this in the road....
Just a turkey, casually crossing the street in CT. I sent a pic of this to C-Mac to let her know what she was missing out on by taking the early train home. In typical Hoosier form, she responded "Should have hit it and we could have grilled it on the roof tonight." I'll let you judge that comment yourself.

"I'm disgusted with you."
Why did they even need to do this interview? So unnecessary. (Yet SUCH great television on a Monday night after an amazing long weekend. . .)
