Nice hotel room, small but well-appointed. Comfy robes. Going down soon for continental breakfast. Discovered this is Restaurant Week here so may try a lunch before heading home later.
Nice little hotel breakfast bar. Managed to avoid donuts or Danish.
Wonderful lunch at Seasons 52, a restaurant in Schaumburg that focuses on local, in-season foods so that their menu items adjust weekly. They also tell you up front that all their entrees are under 450 calories! Why can't they be closer to me? The atmosphere was elegant, the food and service excellent. We started by sharing a garlic chicken flatbread. I had goat cheese ravioli and Dad had a lovely Piedmont beef burger, and the desserts were served in cute tall shot glasses. Mine was a mocha macchiato with layers of caramel, mocha mousse, chocolate cake, and vanilla cream mousse. Yum!
The Lincoln comic was particularly apropos because it wasn't online before I left Friday so I just got to it tonight.
