Well, last time I was here I took AJ out for Skyline Chili and ice cream at Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams as a Mama-baby date. This time we had an extra person on our date with us. My bloggy BFF, Moe, is back in town and she met up with us for a late lunch and ice cream yesterday! We had tons of fun, we chatted, we laughed, we wrangled AJ, we shared food!
We were both laughing because we told our significant others that we were going to meet a relative stranger and neither of them really seemed all that concerned for our safety. ;) We both said we were glad that we aren't axe murderers or something!
The three of us at Jeni's.
It was so much fun to finally meet Moe in real life, and I hope that I get another chance to come through town again so we can expand past Skyline Chili!
After eating ice cream (in the dead of winter, mind you) I realized that we were close to the neighborhood and house I lived in as a little girl (from ages 3-5) so I drove past it and took a picture of it for my parents to see. I was lucky that there was a For Sale sign in the front yard, otherwise I would have felt like a huge creep!
My old house. I promise there is a "For Sale" sign just to the left of the picture. ;)
I also have AbbyDog with me on this trip, and she has been making herself feel right at home at my Aunt and Uncle's house. So much so, that my Uncle had her doing tricks last night for a little snack before dinner.
I love bloggy meet ups! When we moved here I met up with a bloggy buddy, Sam and she has become one of my best friends!
ReplyDeletelove it! my bloggy friends were my first friends at fort drum! :)
ReplyDeleteSweet! Sounds like fun! This might rat me out as "stupid" but is Skyline Chili a Chicago thing?
ReplyDeleteOhmygosh! I was so busy at work today I never even saw this post. I laughed out loud at the part about us not being ax murderers. Ha! Of course D asked what I was laughing at...and just shook his head when I told him :) I hope that one way or another we pass through each other's towns soon. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you found your old house. Luckily that for sale sign was out front.. hehe.
