I’m flying to Chicago out of Panama City Beach on Friday afternoon. Once in the Windy City I’ll meet up with my daughter and our middle granddaughter for a weekend of shopping, dining, and Les Misérables-ing.
In preparation for the trip I’ve been listening to the Les Misérables soundtrack, because one never knows when they’ll need someone to fill in for a cast member. I probably don’t look much like Jean Valjean, but I could sing his part in a pinch. And Cosette’s role? I’m ready to don her dress and belt out her lyrics. Just in case.
My tastebuds are already anticipating a Chicago-style pizza, as I recall the ghosts of pizzas past. There’s simply nothing better than a deep dish pepperoni. Mmmmm. Can you smell it? I can. Now all I have to do is convince my daughter and her daughter that we need to head downtown for dinner Friday night!
Of course, Friday will be my daughter’s thirty-somethingth birthday. I’ll let her choose dinner on Friday, but Saturday is pizza for sure. Am I excited? Duh!!! And the best part? Getting to see my family! I’m packed and ready. Let the party begin.
Sounds great! Chicago – always wanted to go there 🙂 Have a lovely, lovely time!

I love Chicago! One of my favorite cities! I’ve never seen a production of Les Mis before, but I’m familiar with the music. Glad you are too, just in case they need a backup that night! Have fun.

Love Chicago! Italian Beef sandwich at Portillo’s and pizza at Malnati’s are two of my husbands’ favorite food places. (He is a native so these are probably considered old school places, and have been around for ever for good reason!) Also, LES MIS will be fabulous!!! One of my favs! Have a wonderful time!!!
