I returned to LA on Saturday night. It was really fantastic to be with so many family and friends in the midst of a successful work trip, and now I am glad to be home with my hubby. The Midwest Extravaganza was fabulous! Here's a breakdown:
Friday night - out with Alex and Christine and old high school buddies
Saturday - breakfast with Gama Max and Uncle Erick, pool party at Christine's, then out with Alex, Christine and Katie, and the surprise addition of Jessica in from KC!!!
Sunday - 1:30 Cardinals game with mom, dad, and Uncle E; dinner with the previous, plus Gama Max, Jake and Emily; then to The Muny to see Camelot!
Monday - travel to Minneapolis and work from hotel, dinner out with colleagues
Tuesday - successful meetings with the journalists we were visiting, awesome steak dinner at Capital Grill
Wednesday - travel to Chicago, work, and then a delicious Mexican fiesta dinner with Benson's dad Earl, Joanne, Penny, Steve and Kellsie (loved that sangria!)
Thursday - All day meetings in Chicago that went very well, plus dinner with colleagues at the PrimeHouse
Friday - more meetings, then ended the day with cocktails and a long lingering dinner at Sepia with friend Heather
Saturday - brunch with Heather, her husband Tyler, as well as our friend Barb, her husband Dave and their 2 1/2 yr old daughter Michaela; then hopped on an earlier flight to get home sooner :)
Benson picked me up at the airport with a suggestion to go out to a nice dinner to celebrate my return. We walked out to the new-ish Santa Monica restaurant Rivas on Wilshire near 3rd, and then grabbed dessert at Yummy Cupcakes across the street (thanks to Nicole for the suggestions of both in the past, they are on our faves list now).
Photos to come tomorrow.
