Saturday night in Chicago in the winter. Not always an inviting prospect. But this past Saturday it worked. Peter was sure I knew exactly what we were going to do, but I didn't. So he totally surprised me when he turned off Lake Shore Drive and headed for Navy Pier.
We haven't been to Navy Pier in so long. Our kids are teens and tweens now. It used to be the great playground for them, but now that they are older and busy with school, those spontaneous trips to Navy Pier have ended.
But Saturday night, it was our turn.
Peter took me to Riva, the lovely restaurant at Navy Pier overlooking the lake. We had a good meal, and nice conversation, and our waiter had no sense of humor, always incentive for Peter to change that around. I did notice, though, that the waiter seemed to be enjoying the attention under the attitude.
After dinner, we had tickets to see the IMAX 3D U2 Concert! Very fun! We wore our oversized glasses. The place was packed to the ceiling, A 3D concert is the way to go. You get the experience of being at the concert -- in fact you are right onstage with the band! -- and you get the comfort of a seat. You also get to see Bono's big fat arse! I loved the medium. I would see a 3D concert any time.
So, good stuff. Thanks, Peter. See, you can and often do surprise me!
