What a FUN Weekend!

This was one of those weekends that's making me have the Monday morning blues because it's over.  It was SO much fun that I want to go back and do it all over again.  Our friends Eric and Ann came up for the weekend and we all stayed at a hotel in Schaumburg.  We all met up on Friday night at Big Bowl for dinner, YUM!  After that we went back to the hotel and stayed up talking and having some cocktails.  On Saturday morning we planned to get up early and go on a bike ride (we all brought our bikes up there) but that didn't happen so we just met up for breakfast.  After breakfast Ann had a doctors appointment that she went to and Chris, Eric and I went to the gym.  It felt good to sweat out the alcohol and dinner from the night before.  Once Ann got back we showered and changed and headed out for a very fun afternoon and evening!

We got massages and then went and walked around the mall until our 5:30 dinner reservations at The Melting Pot.  Not the healthiest option I know, but it was so GOOD.  We had a lot of fun making our own food and mmmmmmmmmmm the cheese and chocolate :)  It was Chris's first time there and he really liked it, score one for Ann who picked the restaurant.  After dinner we went to the Improv theater at Woodfield and saw Rocky LaPorte.  OMG he was SOOOO funny.  Actually all three acts were great.  We all left there talking about how much our cheeks hurt from laughing so hard (true story!)  On Sunday we woke up and went to breakfast and after that finally got to use our bikes.  We went to Busse Woods and did the 11 mile loop.  This was Chris's and my first ride of the summer AND our longest one ever and we're a bit out of shape so to say we were tired at the end is an understatement.  However, it was a lot of fun and and I burned 829 calories so I'm glad we did it.  I would have liked it if it weren't quite so hot though :)  After that we went to the Bolingbrook Promenade and walked around, did a little shopping and had some dinner before it was time for Eric and Ann to head home.  I love the fact that we worked in workouts throughout the weekend, it made me feel not quite so guilty for over indulging in food and drink!  Next up we all decided that we're going to train for a 5K together that's coming up in September!

Tonight we're going to the Cubs/Sox game so at least I have that to look forward to while I'm at work!
