I made my way downtown and was surprised how packed it was for a Sunday afternoon. Over the years, downtown could be a ghost town especially during holiday weekends. There are a lot of transplants here in the city, and a majority of them fly out back home during the holidays. But it seems a ton of tourists decided to be in town for Labor Day, and they were all hanging around the Chicago River.
Our wait wasn’t too bad to get inside. We ordered some wine at the bar before heading up to the rooftop. She loved it! We wanted to grab a table so we walked up to the host. She was super sweet! We were having a good time discussing Chicago’s nightlife. We eventually got a table, and our host would come up to check up on us. In the end, my friend and her hit it off and exchanged numbers. They wanted to go out after her shift, but I had to head back home for my mom’s dinner. I was up in the air about meeting up with them later. My mom had just came back from Mexico and I wanted to hear about her trip.
My brother picked me up at my train stop and we headed over to my mom’s place. She absolutely LOVED her trip! I felt bad because she confessed that she started to cry at the airport when her friends dropped her off. I realized that she had spent 7 whole days with her friends and she must have gotten attached to being around them. She’s still lonely being by herself at the apartment, even though she has her dog with her. I need to be around more…
friend of mine seemed a bit down, so we decided to catch up for afternoon cocktails. We had talked on the phone the day before but since I was meeting my other friend from Rhode Island, we couldn’t find time to hangout with one another. I figured I could squeeze in some fun before my mom’s dinner since she usually serves around 6:30pm. I wanted to show my friend the rooftop at London House since she was staying nearby. Luckily, Chicago was beautiful that day. Not a cloud in the sky!
