Weekend Recap: A long weekend of new

Welcome back from the long weekend! It was extra special to have the extra day. I kicked off my weekend by hearing the best news, my sister is engaged!! Daniel popped the question Friday night when she came home from work and surprised her with all if the food they had on their initial dates. I'm so thrilled for them!

After that wonderful news on Friday, the weekend continued to be a success. I tried out another Barre Bee fit class on Saturday morning, more of a mix of dancing and toning. It felt great to workout in the morning and be ready for the beautiful weather we had on Saturday. My friend and I made our way to the field museum to see the Maharaja exhibit. It was gorgeous! I highly recommend checking it out before its gone the 2nd week in February. They don't allow photos but I did manage to snap these elephants in the lobby.

After the exhibit we walked back to Streeterville and enjoyed the sun while walking. Next stop was Mahoneys in River West to watch the Hawks bring home a victory!

We then celebrated by trying out TWO on Grand. It was unbelievably delicious. We tried three plates between the two if us and it was perfect. The place was packed but we squeezed in at the bar and ran into an old wright wood bartender. Small world for sure. Check out TWO here.


Sunday I joined a coworker and her boyfriend for brunch at Angelina's. It is the cutest Italian place on Broadway and Addison and their brunch is a must try. $21 will get you unlimited champagne and any brunch item. They are very generous with the champagne and we had our fair share. We tried the frittata and Jess had the eggs Benedict. Both were delicious. Make sure to get there before 11:30 because it gets extremely crowded but worth it.

It was such an action-packed weekend filled with lots of rest on MLK day. Let's now get ready for a crazy week ahead!
