Last weekend was a whirlwind trip to the windy city, Chicago to participate in the walking Chocolate
tour. Three of us went and had a fabulous time!
We met some great people from the waiter at Frontera Grill, Rick Bayless' restaurant. We had a great time and D being the huge R.B. fan was beyond ecstatic when he made a quick appearance by walking into the restaurant! The train ride home was fun after meeting the cousins that were heading home to Columbus, Indiana. We even talked about a road trip to visit them in upcoming months! Of course there was the initiated contact I had with an officer for directions who later found our girlfriend and asked her if she would stay the night and entertain him!
We had some fantastic food and great chocolate! Fortunately with all the walking we did, we offset the great treats! Here are some that we managed to take pictures of before devouring:
