Back to Work: Upcoming Restaurant Week

Hello Everyone! Happy 2013! Today is my first official day back at work after two and a half weeks and I'm already struggling. I can't believe how long it's been, it was some  much needed time away and it might be hard to get back into the swing of things. Wish me luck!

Here is a recap of my Holiday along with the link to the Chicago Restaurant week in February. Make sure to mark which places you're going to try and sign up quickly! It is the best way to try all those fancy places for such a great price.

Christmas was amazing with Lucy.. even though it was on Friday, December 21st. She couldn't tell the difference. It is her favorite holiday and she loves opening the presents, even if they aren't hers :)

After a very fun (early) Christmas we got on the plane a the wee hours of 8AM the next day to Paradise (Barbados)

 We stayed on the West Side of the island in Merlin Bay. It was a beautiful property with 8 total villas to rent with 3-4 bedrooms each. We all shared the beautiful pool above and the beach.

 The Ocean was fantastic. It did rain almost everyday but you could find our whole family either in the pool or Ocean in the pouring rain. You could tell that we don't get out much and most of the other families in the property thought we were crazy! We just wanted to soak up the nice water.

It was the best 12 days, despite the rain for most. I feel completely rested and ready to take on 2013.

Wishing I was still in this water just about now...

Now that we're back it's that time of year again to start hunting and reserving your places you want to try for Restaurant week!! It's one of my favorite times in Chicago, especially when it's February and what is better than trying out fabulous restaurants for a quarter of the price.
