Guest Post by Bonnie Flippin:
For my 30th birthday I went to Chicago with my
sister Laura Flippin. We chose Chicago as our destination because I hadn’t
visited before. My sister Laura had been many times and always raved about the
city.
My Birthday is in August so the weather was AMAZING. I
remember saying to Laura “ who wouldn’t want to live here if the weather was
like this all the time!” Our trip included going to the art museum, seeing the
massive Lake Michigan, lots of shopping and just general girl time with my
sister Laura.
Laura planned a few special events for my birthday weekend,
which included: A White Sox game (with flying Elvis’s jumping out of a plane at
the end) and dinner at Charlie Trotter’s famous restaurant.
I was so saddened to
learn of Charlie Trotter’s passing earlier this year. Laura and I actually met
him that night at dinner and because it was my birthday he gave us a tour of
the kitchen, several Charlie Trotter cook books (signed of course) and a
Charlie Trotter baseball cap for both myself and Laura! He was such a nice guy
and the food was incredible.
