dinner date

my dad was driving through chicago tonight after being in wisconsin on business and decided to stop for dinner and stay over at my place.  i love impromptu visits from my dad when he ends up here for meetings, whether it ends up being dinner, drinks or just a quick cup of coffee.  tonight we went to glenn's diner for dinner and had great seafood and wine, all while sitting outside in the unseasonably warm november weather.  we talked about family, work, holiday plans and lots of other things and had a good time catching up.  having stopped in wisconsin at a cheese store, dad showed up with yummy cheese curds and wine, which we had before dinner and finished up the wine afterward. 

tomorrow he'll head home and i'll head into work but it's always such a treat to spend some unexpected one-on-one time with my dad.  i hope he makes it back up to the windy city soon and maybe next time he'll bring my mom!  ;)
