Except it was Thursday, and at sunset.
We met at The Park at Lakeshore East for the last "Movie in the Park" this summer. The setting was incredible––the soaring condo buildings of downtown flanking a perfectly manicured green space. In my opinion, Lakeshore East is quite possibly the most beautiful, serene city park in all of Chicago. And that's a tall order as there are almost 600 parks around town!
I wish I had known about this one sooner in the years I've been living here (although my girlfriend tells me it wasn't around five years ago, so I don't have to kick myself too much). Her baby boy was in tow, but Max was tucked in for bed at home. I have to admit it felt pretty good to be sans baby; I could actually enjoy a real conversation, a movie, and a complimentary ice cream bar followed by a late-night gab session upstairs in her condo, all with minimal baby-holding required!

I wonder, can babies smell another baby on you, the way dogs can with other dogs? Do you think Max will be jealous? All in all, a perfect summer night with a light, lakeshore breeze, and they were showing the new Hunger Games, so score! :)
