At breakfast I heard one of the most entertaining abuses of the English language ever. When David asked if the waitress had squeezed the orange juice herself, she replied, "No, someone squoze it this morning." Think of choose and chose. Squeeze and squoze. Awesome.
After breakfast we visited Sheri's grandmother before heading off to Chicago. David, Barbra, Aunt Debbie (cheers Deb), Bub, Sheri and I all posed for a final photo.
Chicago is about a five hour drive from Detroit. We had a lot of time to listen to NPR and stare at the ominous storms hovering over the Midwest. After four hours of NPR I learned that the new iPod sounds pretty cool and that city cows in India are dying because they eat too many thin plastic bags. Yay NPR.
Sheri's younger brother Daniel and some of Sheri's cousins live in Chicago. We first met up with Daniel at Northwestern's campus. It was great to see him, but it reminded me that I really enjoy not living in college dorms. Although the sponge bob menorah made the place feel like home.
We spent a bit of time hanging out at a Cafe Ambrosia with Daniel before getting some Sushi with Marsha, Gabby Rose, and Noah. Marsha and her husband Jerry are technically Sheri's cousins, but I'll throw in the standard disclaimer. Everyone in Michigan is somehow Sheri's cousin. In this case I think Jerry is David Osher's first cousin.
I'll leave you all with a cute photo of Marsha and Jerry's kids. The chocolate cake lasted about 2 minutes.

This is such a lovely post!!! I am in love with these food items. Hoping that you all had nice time eating all this. We too would be hosting a family weekend party at one of the local NYC venues. I am planning to use a colorful theme for the DIY décor for this bash. I am sure that pinterest would help me find some easy ideas.
