Eight Days Off: Chicago, San Antonio, New Orleans, and Back to Chicago

J and I worked nonstop earlier this month so that we could hang out with friends and family during a week we scheduled off. It all started out with grilling with great friends in Chicago, then we went to San Antonio and had many adventures there (as well as grilled with great friends), headed over to New Orleans to visit family (and - a change of pace - boiled crawfish), and brought it all back together by grilling in the Chicago 'burbs.

Gorgeous people grilling some tasty food on a beautiful Chicago day. Life is good.

Japanese Tea Garden, San Antonio
This is a wonderful, free trip. It is a registered historical landmark and has some
neat history behind it.

Crawfish Boil in Louisiana!

I want to go to all these islands, especially after reading The Spice Necklace.
I really need to write a blog about some of my favorite recent reads.
Back in Chicago summer days = catch with the hubby.
...it also means grilling and white wine.
