This morning, we packed up and headed out to Chicago. I had to turn off my “avoid toll roads” function on Google maps to find the faster route, which made it so we arrived at New Star Chinese (and more) Restaurant. It is probably my favorite place to eat.
Often, when we have fond memories of a restaurant, we are let down by the actual experience when we return. This has not been the case for New Star. Each time it is as good or better than I remembered it. There we met up with my uncle and aunt, Jon and his new baby Abigail, and Katie and Sam. It was a wonderful lunch even if it was a little hard to hear as the place was so busy.
From there, we headed to Jon’s house where we also met up with his wife, Laura. We set up some hanging shade, ate pizza, and prepared for Abigail’s Baptismal party tomorrow. As part of that, Jon and I went to a local multi-level grocery store (also owned by Kroger). It has escalators for the carts. I went into full tourist mode, taking pictures in amazement.
Tomorrow is the Baptism and the excitement around it.
