Visitors make us Very happy - with a capital V

The Keaty Family has been very fortunate to have had visitors TWO weekends in a row.
Last weekend! Auntie G flew in from the North and spent 3 wonderful days with us.

We hit the beach...
And also spent some time with our cousins Meghan and Emily shopping! Eating with Greta's friend Lindsay at a GREAT Indian restaurant, and sought out A/C whenever possible. We took Finn to his second movie, Despicable Me, and really just enjoyed our time together.

This past weekend we enjoyed a visit from Mom and Cathy! Mom and Cathy have been friends for a really long time....and I can remember many memories of my childhood that involve her spending time with my Mom, sister and I.

So it may not be a surprise to any of you that Chicago has a LOT to offer in the food department.
I personally have a list 60 miles long of all the restaurants I would like to try.
And people often come to visit with places to eat in mind.
Like my sister! and Veerasway...the amazing Indian spot
Cathy! Wanted the best deep dish pizza Chicago had to offer.
Mom! Wanted Garrett's famous cheese and caramel mix.
Me! I wanted to try this little pie shop that I've been reading so much about.

Everybody got their wish.
And I documented the PIE!

Banana Cream - delicious.

Cherry Berry - so FORKIN' good


Love that little boy and his coffee mug....

Don't know how I managed to not get a picture with Cathy. Haven't been taking my camera out much these days , to not add any EXTRA weight to carry around. But we also had a great time catching a Second City show, a BEAUTIFUL day at Millennium Park, dinner at Chinatown and a quiet night in watching A Girl With A Dragon Tattoo (great book AND movie by the way)

And the cherry on top of this visitor's sundae?
The chocolate mousse on this Old Town salad bar?
I get to see my family AGAIN this weekend for some wedding celebration in Milwaukee.
YES.......

Any chance you can blog with smellavision? Maybe a Willie Wonka app that can transport food samples utilizing the WOM chip. (WOM is write only memory...funny eh?) It's funny when you can get the people at Radio Shack trying to find you a WOM chip.
