Day 2 - Air Show Practice

We agreed to be up by 9:00 am for breakfast.  So we slowly started trickling upstairs beginning at 7:30 am.  We served up scrambled eggs, bacon, and some amazing coffee cake that Mary made.  Shortly after we got cleaned up, the practice began.  The Thunderbirds performed first so we got a little distracted and stuck around until they wrapped up.  

Soon after, we pulled the lines and went out to the viewing area.  Laid out our anchor and prepped for the day.  We spent the next four hours or so enjoying the sun and floating behind the boat while enjoying the show.  

For lunch we had French Dip sandwiches, chips and veggies.  Then after a little more time in the water, we decided to head back to our slip.  

We took a short break on the back of the boat, enjoying the last few acts of the air show.  Then we got cleaned up and headed out to dinner.  We had an Uber scheduled to pick us up at the front of Navy Pier.  He drove us to RPM Steak.  It was our first time here are we were super impressed.  

We ordered everything family style and then shared it with the table.  Here’s what we ordered:

Appetizers: Pork Belly, House Rolls, Rosemary Popover Rolls

Sides: Japanese Sweet Potatoes, Vintage Prairie Roasted Sweet Corn, Rosemary French Fries, and a House Special Parmesan Risotto

Steak: 4 oz Chateau Uenae Snow Beef (Japanese Wagyu - So incredible!), 48 oz Westholme Wagyu Strip Steak (Best steak we’ve ever had)

Dessert: Sugar Donuts, Blueberry Cheesecake, Coffee Crème Brulee, Cookies & Cream Sundae, Carrot Cake

Honestly, it was an amazing meal!  None of us had ever had anything like it.  We were so satisfied afterwards.

JC loved the sauce that came with the donuts.  

After our meal, we grabbed another Uber and headed back to the marina.  Scott and I took a walk to find an outgoing mailbox. After going to three locations, with no mailboxes present, we stopped into the lobby of a high rise condominium community and the kind security guard let me use their outgoing mailbox.  

Then we headed back to the boat to enjoy the evening again on the back of the boat.  We decided to call it an early night and all the adults headed to bed before 9:30 pm.  Our bodies are tanned, our hair is wind blown, our tummies are full and are hearts are too.  It was another great day!
