Awake: 5:15am sleep 5+01 looking outside from the 5th floor, this was our morning scene.
K & I had some coffee & then (30) min on the treadmill.
We had our breakfast with the Foote family, Corinne, Jerry, & Eriko. Later, we spent some time with my brother & Josie who arrived mid afternoon yesterday & are staying in the Hyatt Summerfield suites about a (100) feet from the Hyatt Place. We helped them find the Summerfield Suites location due to both Hyatts not having a GPS address yet since they are both only a year old.
Then my sister Mary Jo & husband Ed called from the airport & needed a GPS address, so I gave them a nearby address to find the Hyatt Place.
Mid afternoon, using (2) cars, we all went to the Rock Bottom Brewery & Restaurant for lunch. We not only had some really good beer but also excellent food. K & I shared a delicious Reuben sandwich. Then the Foote family & Nick & Eriko's family all went splashing in the Hyatt pool again.
Then it was time to drive or ride to the Lutheran church to practice for the wedding tomorrow. The Reverend was very casual but made sure that everyone knew his or her role for the ceremony.
After the rehearsal came the "Rehearsal Dinner" hosted by yours truly, Monte & Kathy Kirsch....& what a dinner it was. Barone's of Glen Ellyn served our group (6) pitchers of Miller Lite, (6) pitchers of Blue Moon, (4) Carafes of Chianti, (6) Carafes of chardonnay, & (1) pitcher of Samual Adams. Oh, there was also food...bread, salad & Pizzas with various toppings, thin & thick crust, & mostaccioli in meat sauce. Of course, there was also unlimited tea, coffee, soft drinks, etc.
After the meal, Zack & I went around to the tables & introduced ourselves to almost all of those in attendance, family members & friends. While we were busy talking, cake & coffee were served.
The rehearsal dinner was well organized, provided pleasant service & delicious food. Zack & Katie gave presents to all the wedding attendants & both sets of parents. I think a fun & fine time was had by all.
Lights out: 10:52pm.
