Darryl and I went on holidays to Minneapolis and Chicago the week of August 7-16. We spent both of the weekends with our Canadian friends Tony, Cindy and their daughter Taylor. Some of the highlights of our trip to Chicago included experiencing the Science and Industry Museum, Chicago Art Institute and running the Lakeshore Blvd which is very similar to Vancouver’s sea wall.
Relaxing after long walks included indulging in double scoops of chocolate and butter pecan ice cream at Ghiradelli chocolate shop. Waking up and dashing out of our boutique hotel which was one block from the famous Magnificent mile, we ran 4.5 miles along Lakeshore Blvd. We dined at some familiar places including Luxbar, Rosebud and Eataly. This holiday was so relaxing and of course we celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary with Tony, Cindy and Taylor at Terezo near 50th and France.
Darryl, Tony and Joel spent the day boating on the Minnetonka Lakes while Cindy and I spent the afternoon at Wayzata by the water. We treated ourselves to the ambiance on the rooftop bar at Slate 6 what a glorious day of celebrating good memories and creating new ones.
