Two feet of snow as I flew into Chicago last weekend didn’t put a dent in the warmth of our weekend.
Here’s the timeline:
Highlights:
Thai couples massage
This technique made Cara and me feel even more bonded, if that’s possible. The giver gets as much as the receiver, always in a state of comfort and relaxation. We started with the receiver in traditional cat/cow of yoga, with – get this – the giver facing the sky, back to back with the receiver, and with every muscle completely relaxed. You become a weight to improve your partner’s relaxation and stretch. It just got better from there. Amazing baby, let’s do it again soon. 💘
Lyfe Kitchen
This is my favorite new trend – local food, prepped well, served with fast food convenience. B. Good in Raleigh is very similar. Cauliflower and brussel sprouts are our Chicago winter go-to.
Running around Chicago with Cara is always a dream. We were on the move, belly laughing and smiling like fools. Cara was determine to get me boots, as all I had were my canvas Keeps. I googled up some vegan kicks, and she found me the perfect pair on sale. Unreal.
Up close with 10,000 Maniacs
We saw 10,000 Maniacs at City Winery, a sweet little venue on some douche bag alley (endless bars and shops). I would put my best engineering assessment of my distance to Natalie Merchant’s pretty legs at 15 feet. She put the pretentious in their place right away, sharing that her first stop in Chicago was Goodwill to pick up the dress she was wearing. Nice choice! Check them out…
Ema
More dining fabulousness. The space was very open, yet totally romantic.
Isolation tank
Unbelievable. I’ll come back to this!
Amazing. Cara and I say it over and over: we’re so blessed and lucky.
