My Grandmother, Tootie, Tom and Grandpa Larry arrived on Wednesday with a whole box load of peonies for me! Rusty made us chicken wraps with pine nuts, goat cheese and cilantro, on black eyed peas and braised kale.
I brought some of the peonies to work on Thursday and they brighten up my desk!

On Saturday, we went to the Lurie Gardens.
Uncle Tom enjoyed his semi-freddo dipped in chocolate
at Millennium Park.
I love taking photos with Tootie.
We were treated to a free symphony concert as we walked through Millennium Park.
Of course Tootie wanted a picture with the bean. I was happy to accomodate.
Grandpa Larry got the whole history on the Bean from a security guard. 
He makes friends with everyone! 
We also walked to the Art Institute of Chicago to check out the free exhibit.
I thought it was spiritual and grotesque. Grandpa Larry thought it symbolized the circle of life with birth, life and death.
We got tired after walking around for a few hours in the sun, so we took a siesta before meeting up for dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, Piccolo Sogno.
I'll post more pictures from dinner tomorrow. Tonight we're going on a driving tour of Lincoln Park and going on a sunset dinner cruise. I got a Groupon for the Odyssey!
