Sister's Visit
We had a fantastic visit when my Sis came to town for her birthday. Kicked it off with an evening speakeasy trip with surprise burlesque entertainment.
Walked her legs off the next day with a walking tour beginning at the Art Institute, going along the lake to the Zoo and finishing with a lakeside snack and cocktail.
A good time had by all!
The next day was a neighborhood garage sales experience, including our girl, followed by a dinner at a Greek restaurant. Later was cake & cocktails and gifts.
