Father's Day: A Visit to the old neighborhood




Father's Day started out with crazy weather and ended with gorgeous blue skies (as you can see from the pictures). We began the day debating whether or not Ben and I should go to church during a storm that blew down many trees in our area including one that fell on a neighbor's garage. We decided to stay home and William went off to work on his first Father's Day.

The day ended with a beautiful drive north on Lake Shore Drive and a visit to our old neighborhood and favorite burger joint - Jury's. It was Ben's first visit into Chicago and bringing him to Jury's felt pretty significant to both of us. Jury's has been a big part of our lives. We found it shortly after we moved to Lincoln Square. At Jury's, we have shared many burger meals, had many big conversations, and been there during all the milestones in our lives - before marriage, after marriage, living in Lincoln Square, living in Berwyn, pregnant, and now with Ben. Pete and Dan, the owners, know us by name. Oddly, we had the worst service we've ever had, but we'll go back. We haven't found a better burger anywhere. We're sure you'll rush right down to Lincoln Ave. to have one now that you've seen a picture!
