Yes, yes, I know it is only September, but the Berghoff likes to start early. Every year they host Oktoberfest in Federal Plaza (for those who remember the movie The Fugitive, this is the plaza with the big red sculpture that Tommy Lee Jones chases Harrison Ford through).
My coworker Ann was in town for meetings so I took her along for a full Midwestern experience.
Vern and Susan were in town from Tuscon, Todd joined his parents, Dave and Liz headed out, Dan showed up after work, and we met up with an old family friend Jennifer (dang, didn't get a photo of the whole crew!). Kelly works for the Berghoff Catering so she was able to supply beer, brats, pretzels, and corn for all of us - free of charge - thanks Kel!!Bob and Dave decided that the tables/cups were perfect for a round of flip cup - nice!
Dave, Liz, Ann and I headed back to the train later on. Apparently we looked like we were on a mission because a cab "dropped out of the sky" and pulled over to pick us up. This was like no other cab ride any of us had been on. The man was possessed - whipping through the streets of Chicago, running a red light, etc. When we made it to Ogilvie, I seriously felt like I had just gotten off a roller coaster. But, getting their early gave us plenty of time to buy some Garrett's popcorn for the train ride home - YUM!!
