Summertime

Summer is so glorious here (today was a true Bermuda day), but as I'm sure it probably does for everyone, it seems to disappear in a flash.  Assuming everything continues to go well with this pregnancy (a girl can hope) and we start the 2nd tri in early July, we've got a lot on our plates, as usual...

Travel:
-Brooklyn to visit sister Jen and Gary in their new apt., also my friend Shelby and her new baby boy, and step-sister Alyssa and her bakery.  (We don't want to get stuck in the hot city again like we did last summer, so we're off to the beach/The Hamptons!  DH also wants to see "The Book of Mormon" on Broadway.)
-WI for cousin Chelsie's wedding, stopping at Taliesin in Spring Green on return trip for tour/dinner
-Long weekend in Saugatuck, MI
-Italy for 5th anniversary! :)  (Tuscany and Rome, side trip to see DH's friend Deepak in Maranello)
-A week or two in WI to hang out with G-ma K... (she's also giving me her new Husqvarna sewing machine)

Around town:
-Go kayaking through LLB
-Go sailing on Lake Michigan w/DH's boss, Robert et al
-Frequent Green City and other local farmer's markets
-White Sox v. Red Sox game (our respective alma mater's neighborhood teams)

Around the house:
-Have my dad, the carpenter, build out wall in den for extra bedroom
-Choose furniture and decor and begin work on nursery

Exercise:
-Get to our outdoor pool as often as possible
-Use home gym (treadmill & bike) and do yoga as often as tolerated
-Use Harper gym, if feeling particularly ambitious ;)

Outdoor Concerts:
-U2 @ Soldier Field (rescheduled from last summer)
-Ravinia corner concerts (Ramsey Lewis/Pink Martini, Yo-Yo Ma, Gipsy Kings, etc.)
-Get to Millenium Park concerts at least once

School:
-Taking summer school class on Green Design @ Harper (online)

Work:
-Do contract consulting as good opportunities arise
-Continue to lunch and cultivate client work with professional contacts
