We got a late start, but after an awesome dinner of my favorite mom-made casserole (thanks mom!!!), Betsy and I were ready to jet. We made it to Chicago without hitting any traffic, and in just enough time to get some drinks with some friends.
Here are some pictures:
We ended up at a karaoke bar where it only made sense that it would be the last place we stopped all night. There's no way this place would have been as much fun earlier in the evening. The man in the video below was quite the karaoke pro, so we had to get evidence. Betsy asked me if I thought it was ethical to post videos of drunk men we don't know on the internet. I'm pretty sure it isn't, but we did it anyway:
Part 2, Day 2:
I want to preface this entry by letting you all know that Chicago can be awesome. I've seen it. However, Betsy didn't agree. I don't blame her. It rained all day. But we decided to brave the monsoon anyway and check out Millennium Park because it's necessary. Drew kept saying "are you SURE you want to do this in the rain??" Yup. We were sure.
Afterward, we said goodbye to Drew (who was a champ enough to stand in the rain with us) and were off with a quick pit stop on the way to meet Betsy's friend Charlie at a Safeway gas station just near Valpo.
We finally made it to Betsy's house by 4:30 AM. Sorry to all of you who got text messages in the middle of the night.
