Day 7

Outdoor wedding prelims.  

     Days 4 and 5 were spent in Lisle so not much to report on except Ty played in the Interstate 8 All Star Game and looked good. His senior year of baseball has been phenomenal.   Day 6 started in Lisle with a graduation party and then a very nice wedding out in the country.  Then we went back to the apartment and started a very nice couple of days.  Ty had a guest stay with us.  They went to the Grand Lux which I've already discussed as being an excellent restaurant.  Then later they went to Navy Pier and afterwards we all spent a very pleasant evening.  I'm really glad that we were lucky enough to get a two bedroom because part of the fun has been when people have come to visit with us.

So consider this an open invitation to anyone that would like to come down and spend some time in the city with us.

Kel, the Boy, and TWIK coming from
 our so-so breakfast.

     I got up early this morning and went up to the Sun Deck, afterwards I walked a little by the lake and waited for everyone to get up and moving.  That took awhile, but when they did we took a little walk down the street to eat at Yolk.  Unfortunately there was a long line and we were too hungry to wait.  That was a mistake.  We went to a place called the Streeter Irish Pub and Cafe.  They didn't have a line and with good reason; bad service, high prices, and only so so food.  It was a 2 of 5 Brick rating.  Next time we'll wait.  I have heard lots of good things about Yolk.  We spent sometime at our health club and then spent some time at the lake.

Kim Chee Fried Rice, really good.

     We skipped lunch and then met a friend at Yeowoosai Korean Restaurant for dinner.  It was pretty close to a five brick place.  The only real problem was the price (a little high), but we had a Groupon!  So we are wrapping up the weekend on the couch.  TWIK is reading a book and I'm on the computer, all is right with the world.
