This past weekend MPC and I took a mini-break out to St. Charles, IL. It's just west of the city in the "Fox Valley" area, meaning everything is named after the Fox River. It was kind of worrisome to see so many things named after a furry little mammal.
It was so nice to escape the craziness of the city just for a little bit. I knew I wasn't in a real city the moment we hopped in the cab at the train station and the cabbie greeted us with a "Yo, what's up?" and had a rock station playing. I had a feeling he might have been high, but he was nice and didn't smell funny like so many of the Chicago cabbies so it was a welcomed change!
Without any public transportation we walked a few miles downtown and back during the day on Saturday and managed to catch a lovely windburn on my face! That night we went to a sushi place that featured a floating sushi bar and a very crazy chef. It was fun and the food tasty!
The sushi would just fly by on cute little boats! I couldn't take a clear picture for the life of me!
It was so yummy! I love sushi!!!!!!
After the sushi we hit up a cute little bar, met the owner, who gave us free root beer shots and I discovered this fabulous Lambic beer!
We had a great time and I wish that weekends could be longer!
