More Love from DC

When most of the universe hears "DC" they immediately picture our nations' capitol.  I recounted my recent trip there here.  However, a tiny portion of the populace associates that familiar acronym with another, more local, DC; Door County, Wisconsin!  This weekend found me in both DCs! 

Chicago Love

Derby hat? 

I lived in Chicago for five years while I was in law school and then when I was working in my first post-grad job.  Many of my friends still live there so I end up visiting about once a month.  This weekend I went down for a surprise birthday party and a hockey game.

Weekend Love

I often comment that my ideal weekend is a mix of fun, relaxing and productive.  It is surprisingly hard to achieve the perfect balance of these elements but this weekend came pretty close.  Highlights included a lovely dinner at Bleu with friends, a nice run on Sunday followed by an even nicer three hour nap by the fire (wooo happy Super Bowl to me), and best of all my BFF's one-year-old twins' birthday party.
