Spring Weekend
As the polar vortex pushes it's way (slowly) out of Chicago, it seems everyone is itching to get out and enjoy some nice weather!
Neil and I realllly pushed the weather this weekend, but it was a blast!
Friday night we continued our annual tradition of going out for crab legs the first nice Friday night of the Spring/Summer. The past four years we have gone to King Crab in Lincoln Park for some crab legs and corona's on the patio. This year we could have used a heat lamp, but we stayed outside and enjoyed the seafood, which was awesome! Neil and I can't figure out why we only go there once a summer, but at this point it's become a rule.
Saturday we had what we like to call a "Clark Saturday" which consists of taking Clark to the dog beach and then going to bars/restaurants in our neighborhood that have outside patios so we can bring the dog. We were at the beach for about four house before heading home and going out in the South Loop. Once again though, the wind got a little too cold and we were forced to move inside to finish up our day. The great thing about Clark Saturday's is how tired he is afterwards. He sleeps for about two days (and moans very loudly while sleeping).
Buckingham Fountain is back on!!
Relaxing on the balcony.
Dog tired on the way home from the beach!
Trying to go low carb, embarrassed to order this in public!
A man and his best friend far out there!
Sunday was the most productive Sunday I've had in years! Since we weren't out very late Saturday I woke up bright and early and headed out to the grocery store to stock up for the week. Once I got back I did a massive deep clean of our apartment. It felt so good to clean the walls, cabinets, floors, etc. Neil cleaned the balcony and was able to make it out for a bike ride, too. It was a great day and now our place looks spotless!
Where's Clark?
Sunday night dinner: beer can chicken, bok choy and corn on the cob!

Hola!
Today is the first day back to work after an AMAZING week in Punta Mita, Mexico with my sister Megan!
As previously stated, my sister is amazing and a kick-butt sales rep, so she won her company's President Cup trip to Mexico! It was such a blast! We flew (first class) to Punta Mita last Monday morning and had such a great, fun, sunny, relaxing week!
Monday we arrived in the late afternoon and just went to our room to get ready for the welcome dinner, which took place at the resort on the beach! The food was amazing and they had live, local music.
View as we walked in to the resort.
Tuesday morning we got up and went out on a boat trip with a good portion of the group we were with. We saw a bunch of dolphins, went scuba diving (and got stung by Jellyfish), went to a small little beach and saw blue-footed and yellow-footed bubi's (beautiful bird). That night Megan and I went off-site to a local restaurant right on the beach!
Wednesday morning we got up and did some fly-boarding, which was a blast (pictures to come)! From then on we pretty much sat pool side, or floated on the lazy river, sipping on Pina Colada's and Agave beers! We had a few more group dinners, including one at this INSANE house right on the beach and an Italian dinner off-site at someone's house!
Exceptional Coronas
Hotel send off.
Sisters
Everything was absolutely amazing and relaxing and I am SO thankful that Megan took me as her guest!!
Megan, if you're reading this, get back to work, I've grown accustomed to these trips and expect to be there next year! :)
