memorial day weekend
Every summer since I can remember, my high school friends (those who can make it--we miss you, Annie!) usually meet here in Chicago. That included me back when I lived in San Francisco, and "us" when Shawn joined the picture. Those weekends usually involved drunken badminton, well-intentioned grilling, and someone usually "napping" in the lawn, oblivious to the surrounding festivities. Oh, and lots of beer. This year, Danny flew in from L.A.; Nick, Lisa, and the kids from Cleveland; and the unpronounceable--but irreplacable--Dave Czneriawski drove in from The Cleve, too.
We've been easing into this for a while now, but this year was noticably different. And I really think we owe it to the shorties. Instead of revolving around our own hedonistic whims, activities centered around picnics, the zoo, and wholesome barbecues. We were actually all in bed early--and that does not include the aforementioned "naps."
Don't get me wrong, there was still plenty of beer. Just earlier nights, a grateful thing for those of us who are pregnant. Here are the (family-friendly) photos.
