A special visitor! Guess who?

Last weekend, we had a special visitor from New Orleans:  Matt’s mom!  
We showed off the Garfield Park Conservatory, checked out (rather serendipitously on our way to lunch at the Walnut Room) the Macy’s Flower Show, the Winter Garden at Harold Washington Library, and topped it off with the Gospel Brunch at House of Blues. 

We also had dinner at Greek Islands - where we ate flaming saganaki cheese, spanakotiropita, and dolmades (grape leaves) and Italian Village (which is talked about even in New Orleans!). 
As proud Chicagoans - Matt and I enjoyed sharing our favorite places with our special visitor.

Garfield Park Conservatory

A few weeks ago, we visited the Garfield Park Conservatory.  We knew we were going to be impressed, I just don’t think we realized how much. 

We’ve seen our fair share of palm trees, but the ones here can’t be beat.  

Even though it was mid-February, it felt like spring - what a great place!

Our first DePaul sporting event!

We had another Chicago first this weekend: our first DePaul sporting event.  Our friend, Sean, invited us to see the women’s basketball team in action.  We hadn’t been to a college sporting event since our last basketball game in Gainesville - so we were excited! 
The Blue Demons didn’t disappoint and beat West Virginia 78-55.  The DePaul women’s team was aggressive, competitive, and very talented.  They have a winning season ahead of them, and Matt even thinks they’ll make it to the NCAA Tournament.  I hope so too!  Go DePaul! 

P.S.  Pictures of Dibs (DePaul’s Demon in a Blue Suit); Sean and Matt with #51 - Katherine Harris (well, her cardboard cutout, but still pretty cool!).
