free vouchers for breakfast



We took the kids to Chicago this past weekend for some much needed r& r. When we got to our hotel they told us they didn't have the room we reserved but they would upgrade us for free! So we got an executive suite at no extra charge plus 2 more breakfast vouchers! The deal I had found online only included 2, so that meant we got free breakfast! We met our good friends Nick and Judy for dinner at Maggianos. Yummy! I love their food and the atmosphere. It was great to catch up with them and have lots of good laughs! We walked downtown and window shopped and saw lots of cool stuff. It was probably a good thing lots of stores were closed, so that we only "window shopped." I was so mad cause my battery died before we got back to our hotel and missed some great shots of the girls. The next morning we had breakfast at our hotel, where we had a very nice server named Joel who is working his way up the totem pole. Those of you know well know I'm very picky about food service and he passed inspection. We were browsing the menu and a glass of O.J was $5.00 The breakfast Buffet we ate for Free was $19.00! I'm glad we didn't have to pay 80 dollars for us to have breakfast. It was a great buffet but 80 dollars great! Well that is all for now but more to come in the next couple of days!
