"I've never ridden on an elevator before!" (3 of 3)

So once we all reluctantly rise on January 1st 2010 to face the New Year, we decide that the best thing we could do would be to venture out in to the freezing weather and explore Chicago!(minus Thad and Audree who sadly left us)
Molly really wanted to show us Loyola's campus (and we wanted to see it too) so we ventured out that way and froze our asses off on what was probably the best campus tour we could have asked for in 5 degree weather. We had way to much fun playing in the nativity scene and then headed to a coffee house to warm up and pee (which led to many interesting conversations.
After I promised Molly I would not complain about the cold (which I didn't) we all traveled in to the heart of the city. We walked the Magnificent Mile, explored Millennium Park and Matt Smola took a lot of pictures. Naturally we had to stop at Millennium Park and play at the bean for a long time. Molly climbed on my shoulders, we took some amazing pictures, overall no big deal. As it was getting cold and we had dinner resevations we decided to head over to State Street to show the Ohioans Macy's Marshall Fields at Christmas. We traveled up to the 8th floor to view the Christmas Tree in the Walnut Room which Molly quickly explained was actually a real Evergreen/Redwood crossbread with real live tinsel and a real star on top taken down from the sky. On the way back down, Molly then informed as all "I've never ridden on an elevator before!" at which the store employee riding with us become shocked and exclaimed "Girrrrl, you serious!?!?" it was good laughs all around. Now completely frozen we all traveled back to Molly's apartment and meet up with Ed before we traveled to Uncommon Ground for dinner. The food was amazing though the best part had to be getting Molly to leave her number for a waiter. After he found constant excuses to walk by our table and deliver our check ever know he was not our waiter, we knew it was fate (or was that after he pointed at Molly and she just stared back dumbfounded.) Anyways, we were all great wingmen, other than Matt Smola who interuppted thier conversation to shove out check in his face - Rude! Matt remained ignorant to what he had done.
So we traveled back from dinner and when we reached the train we had an epic moment where Ed could not get through the gate to pay and Molly's hand slipped away as the train pulled off. Ed and I were left behind, but not worry we were soon joined by "WallStreet Q" who kept us entertained with his stories of how he attempts to pick up Loyola girls etc etc - we quickly ran on to a train car that he was not entering and everyone was reunited (and Ed and I were still alive).
We made it back to Molly's, sat around, came up with some great answers to the game Things and around 12:30AM thought there was no better thing to do than start drinking and so we did. More dancing ensued, Molly climbed into the window (again), played with the broken window screen and Molly also decided to spray us all in face with whip cream. Oh well :-)

The next day Adam, Austin and Matt traveled back to Ohio and I went home to change and stuff cause turns out the rest of us did not have enough of each other. So I went back to Molly's, Ed joined us and we just sat around for the rest of the night to recover from the shit show that was the last two days. Molly and I overtook facebook and freaked out when we realized Loyola and Miami have the same spring break.(We also used Ed to harass other people on Facebook) and then we just sat around and enjoyed it all and laughed at pictures of course. Life was good and there was no better way to wrap that one up. Without a doubt a very successful New Year something!
