Friday night we started off by meeting Neil's cousins Dawn and Michael at Three Aces in Little Italy. It was a great dinner (and I remember the food a bit more than New Year's)! I had such a great time getting to know them both a bit more! We chatted about restaurants, traveling, their adorable boys and so much more. I can't wait to hang out with them again!
Saturday Neil and I woke up bright and early so we decided to go to Little Goat for brunch. Lately, we've been trying a bunch of new places for an early morning meal and in my eyes it's hard to find a place that beats Publican, but I do have to say Little Goat was very good! Especially their hash browns; they were shredded with some cheese (couldn't put my finger on what kinda it was). So great!
Afterwards we picked up Clark and headed up to the dog beach for a few hours. It was a very big day at the beach because Clark finally swam!! It was adorable and he did such a good job!
After we left the beach we walked around the Lake path for awhile because it was an amazingly beautiful day outside. I even bumped into someone I went to middle school with in Naperville! As Neil and I walked more we decided it was the perfect day to have a beer somewhere, so we drove home, ditched the car and went across the street to have a drink.
Cheap Watermelon shot that I'm pretty sure had no alcohol in it!
One of the many things I love about the South Loop is how dog friendly out area is! We have about three or four bars that all have outside eating areas that allow dogs, so we brought the pup with us as we popped around to a few of the bars in Printers Row.
As the day passed we sipped on craft beers and worked on our first farmers tans of the summer. Before too long, the beers and early morning caught up to us and we called it a night pretty early. It was the perfect Saturday!
Sunday morning we went to a park down the street and had a picnic of lox and bagels and mimosas! It was super relaxing and a great way to kick start a Sunday. I love finding areas in the city that make you forget you're actually in the city! The park was very quiet, surrounded by nice houses and there were plenty of children and families out playing.
After running some quick errand, we came home to clean and hang out. Neil cooked some amazing brats on the grill and we just relaxed and watched a movie. I wish every weekend could be this amazing!
