JJ Grey - Jan 25

To finish off our exciting first month in Chicago, we saw JJ Grey in the Chicago theater in downtown Chicago.  We first grabbed dinner at The Berghoff Restaurant, a famous German restaurant within walking distance to the theater.  Nadine and Dave split beers & pretzels (of course!) and a few other dishes.  We laughed thinking about our times in Germany only 3 years prior.

Bulls-Warriors: Jan 17

Nadine and Dave took quick advantage of being in a major sports city and being able to see the premier sports stars of today.  The Golden State Warriors were in town and we bought the cheapest nosebleed seats we could get, we sat in the very last row, but could still see the action with Steph Curry, Clay Thompson and Kevin Durant...oh yeah, we watched the Bulls too in the arena that Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen played.

During the 4th quarter, we snuck down to the lower bowl and tried to catch a glimpse of the superstars from much closer.  We saw just eng

Dave 33rd bday - Jan 7

Dave celebrated his 33rd birthday in Chicago (614 S Dunton Arlington Heights to be exact), just 3 weeks after moving from Scranton.  Nadine cooked Dave breakfast 33rd birthday pancakes to start off the day.  It was followed up by a birthday dinner at Boston Seafood for some amazing seafood plates (Dave's parents joined for the dinner!)   The day ended with the only beer perfect for celebrating #33....Rolling Rock (33)!

Birthday Pancakes - 33 years!

Is that a tie?  Or a shirt with a tie?

Look at that seafood feast!

What 33rd birthday isn't complete with Rolling Rock (33)!
