With the Irish



We arrived in Chicago just in time for an early brunch at the infamous D4 Irish Pub.  For me, that had to include fish n chips.  C'mon, you're in a Pub.

Smith & Wollensky







A visit to the convention hall to get registered and then walked  - seems like 10 miles.  In any event, we arrived for dinner at Smith & Wollensky.  This was a first for both of us and it was amazing - we'll do it again.

The Veil




A surprised Karley walks in to see the veil she wanted hanging and steamed.  It's getting real, ya'll.

No Supervisor

When you're on the road and there is no one to tell you, "no."  It's carrot cake every time.
