Today Cameron, Doug and I left for the suburbs of Chicago with the plan of returning the repaired CRV to Cal and to bring back the Civic. As an added bonus we also had plans to meet Carl and Marina for lunch at Giordano's. We hadn't visited with them since they were here in June, and Doug really wanted to get together with them before they left for Florida in early November. Doug had invited Dan to meet us as well, but we weren't sure who in his family would be able to attend as Addie had had homecoming last night and was part of the senior court. Thus, we were all pleasantly surprised that she, Morgan and Kim were able to make the trip as well.
The ten of us spent our two hours at the restaurant catching up on all that had been happening in our lives recently and also talking about plans for the future. Both Addie and Cameron shared their plans for life after high school and Morgan shared her experiences of college life. Cal caught everyone up on the turtle races that he attended last night in Lincoln Park as well as his Mount Rushmore of Chicago athletes. Marina talked of their plans for traveling to Florida and Carl appreciated all of the pictures, articles and jewelry that I had found in Jeanette's possessions stored at our home. The only disappointment on the day was that Meg, Brett, Cole and Phil couldn't join us for the mini-reunion. Hopefully, we'll all be able to get together again soon.
