I did not discover a new sight today, but rediscovered a forgotten favorite. Culver's! Mmmm! I got a sundae with Andes and brownie pieces and vanilla custard. If you've ever thought about what a cloud would taste like ... vanilla custard is it. Yes. I think if clouds were made of vanilla custard the sky would be my favorite place to be. Another thing I forgot about Culver's was the flavor of the day. I picked up a list with all the flavor's for February, and I'm thinking I'll be visiting there a whole lot in the next few weeks! Some flavors coming up soon ... Mocha Chip, Caramel Apple Cobbler, and Coconut Cream Pie! So let me know if you want to make the journey to Culver's sometime soon and share in this delightful treat ... I know I would enjoy it.
Another eventful trip happened this weekend ... I took a trip to Indianapolis with Matt, and we went to the Castleton Square Mall. Very nice mall; only one level so it's kind of sprawling, but there are no stairs; well laid out, similar stores are near each other, making it feel niche oriented. They have a lot of different stores and a lot of variety. After the mall, we made our way down the street to the Cheesecake Factory. The line was really long, but I figured maybe 30 minutes wait. I was very wrong. The wait was 1.5-2 hours. We heard that and turned around and left. Not worth the wait, we were really hungry at that point. So we drove across the parking lot and tried our luck at TGI Fridays. The wait there was 30-45 minutes, and we didn't even have to wait that long ... maybe a 30 minute wait. But it was worth it! The food was great!

Riding along in the most fashionable IWU mini van, myself and 11 others arrived in Chicago. Fortunately it wasn't windy, cause that would just throw off the entire style of the day! We had concrete plans...which was so nice...cause don't even get me started with going into a city where you and your group can do SO much...and end up doing nothing because not everyone "agrees." ugh so annoying...anyways, thankfully we had structure and had two glorious hours to shop, go to a play, and eat adventurously at an Irish Pub.
The shopping was epic, that's the only way to explain a seven story mall...and the play "Master Harold and the Boys" was a very enjoyable experience. Throughout the first hour, I was wondering what the point was in the play, and then the final half hour...it all "hit the fan" so to speak...and we all left the theatre in a awed state. It was truly fantastic!
Then, the Irish Pub...I do encourage anyone who is in the windy city to go and visit an Irish Pub because people are very nice and the bathrooms are amazing! Seriously! The sinks were like something I'd never seen before...it was a combination of an antique water pump with a contemporary waterfall...in other words, just go see it yourself.
Chicago was a perfect touch this weekend...and full of sights 'n sounds for an adventurous Saturday!
