Friday night started with dinner with K's cousins. She and her husband are actually due with their first baby October 5th. We are so excited to meet them and it is so weird thinking that the next time we see them they will have a baby boy with them! The live in the South Loop - which is a neighborhood that K and I don't venture to very much so I suggested we try something new in their neighborhood. We tried an Italian restaurant called Gioco. It had a very cool ambiance, but both the food and ambiance were less than impressive. The wine list was disappointing and didn't even have a chardonnay on the list. I ordered salmon which I thought was very good, but the rest of the group was pretty disappointed in their meals.

After dinner we heading to check out K's cousin new house that they are building in the South Loop. It isn't expected to be finished until mid November so It was just the framing. It was really exciting to see the lay out and we are really excited to see it when it is finished now that we have seen part of the process.

Our long walk/bike ride on Saturday |
After biking we walked to lunch at Hannah's Bretzels which K had never had, but I have had a few times at work. It is all organic and the sandwhich's come on pretzel bread which you can never go wrong with. On the walk home from lunch we treated ourselves with some gelato from Marianos.. my favorite. After some digestion and our food comas, we set out to finally get our workouts in. My legs were feeling the bike ride and long walk, but I still managed to fit in 10 miles.

Saturday night was spent in our PJ's and ordering take out. We are creatures of habit thats for sure. My ideal Saturday night.
Sunday was spend catching up on life-- lots of laundry, vaccuming, quick work out, grocery shopping, and trying new recipes.

And once again, Monday morning comes way too fast and I feel like I was just walking home from work on Friday. The best thing I know I'm on my way back on Monday morning.
