We came, we saw, we walked (a lot!) and we drank. Among the highlights was a fantastic time at the brand spankin’ new ComedySportz Theatre on Thursday night, a run through the Shedd on Friday followed by beers in Wrigleyville that night, walking through Millennium Park before visiting some “old friends” at the Art Institute, a private tour of the Tribune Tower, and sipping on a glass of scotch on the 95th floor of the Hancock building.

Most important of all, though, was catching up with some dear friends — remembering the past, talking about what’s happening in our lives now, and pushing each other to continue to be true to our dreams and aspirations. 

It doesn’t get much better than that.
