Well Hello

I really did not intend to basically take off the entire summer but I think the school age kids are on to something.  No work, no responabilities, not a care in the world, and you don't have to be accountable for anything for 3 months.  Unfortunatley,  all good things must come to an end.

I spent a good portion of my summer in the Hamptons of the mid west (Michigan)

Holland

Chicago is just a hop, skip, jump, and train ride away so we went to see Heather (and her hubby's insanely gorgeous and delicious restaurant)

Pearl's Southern Comfort

and Taylor

Swift, that is at Soldier Field

and ate like it was the end of the world

Little Goat

Lyfe Kitchen

Cupcake ATM (brilliant)

Summer House Santa Monica

Eataly

Dylan's Candy Bar


I swear we did other things besides eating

Kayak Chicago anyone??

and those Divvy Bikes were a god send!



I spent some time in Petosky, Michigan which I think feels like the top of the world

and a visit to Detroit to see my sister

After being gone for most of July it was time to come home

and now the countdown to fall begins, my days of doing this are numbered!!

boo hiss!!!
