| Dinner at Porto |
Keith's parents came to visit us in Chicago over Halloween weekend. They arrived Thursday afternoon, just in time to get settled in, have a glass a wine and head out to dinner at Le Bouchon, a French restaurant just a few blocks from our house. We shared a yummy mussel appetizer and roasted duck for dinner. We both had to work on Friday so Jean and Dick went out to the History of Chicago museum. That evening, we had more wine and then went to dinner at Temporis where we had a delicious multi-course dinner along with wine pairings.

| Interior Architecture Tour |
On Saturday, Keith went for a walk with his parents on the 606. We had cheese for lunch and then went on an interior architecture tour downtown where we got to see some pretty cool interiors ranging in architecture style. The tour took about two hours and was very well done. That evening we had dinner at Porto where we tried some interesting and very tasty dishes - jamon iberico, grilled fish, roasted vegetables, and mussels in a can.

| Frank Lloyd Wright's Oak Park Home |
On Sunday, Keith went on another walk with his parents on the 606. We then did a tour of Frank Lloyd Wright's home in Oak Park, followed by an audio guide of the neighborhood to see some of the other houses he designed. When we got home, we had some more cheese for lunch and then relaxed that afternoon. Shawna cooked dinner for that evening so had to get the dinner going in the afternoon. That night, we had Caribbean lamb stew and black beans. The stew is a recipe that Shawna got from Joyce who made it for her birthday weekend in the Outer banks - it was very tasty!
