Escape From The Cage

The weather this weekend has been fantastic! Finally sunny, dry, and over 60 degrees anxiously awaited Saturday to get out of our cage. So, we packed up Gil (without the usual layers of clothes and blankets) and walked around the city. Kristen had a few items to return to H&M and I was in need of some shirts, so we walked over to shops on State Street and much like Superman soaked in the rays of the sun for strength.

On our way home we walked back along the river stopping at a new favorite spot of ours called Wow Bao. They sell Asian buns filled with great stuff like BBQ pork, Mongolian Beef, Teriyaki Chicken, etc. They also sell some sweets so Kristen had to get one of those as well. The buns are incredibly cheap and make a great snack. I highly recommend checking the place out.

We took a short nap and then headed out to the local Bar Louie for dinner and to watch the Final Four. Our friends Tony and Eric joined us. Gilbert was fascinated with the place and particularly enjoyed the plethora of large screen televisions surrounding the joint. We sported him in a fun 'city shirt' courtesy of Kristen's friend Sherry. Note the words suburban friends!
