Dad's no longer an intern

This was one of the busiest Chicago travel weekends of the summer for many reasons - the Taste of Chicago, the Cubs continued their cross-town rivalry against the White Sox, there were numerous neighborhood festivals, and the annual Chicago Gay Pride Parade. For these reasons we decided to stay near home this weekend and limit any travel by car because traffic was backed up throughout the city. Lisa and I have been to the Taste a few times and decided it was just too crowded to bring a baby (and just too expensive), it was impossible to get tickets for the game, and we were not willing to drive anywhere with the traffic this weekend to check out the local festivals; however, the Chicago Gay Pride Parade was one of the largest in the country and passed just a block and a half from our condo, so we decided this was the event to check out! Unfortunately, the weather was too tenuous to bring a baby outside among drunken revelers so that plan was ditched.
What the family did do was attend a dinner, a treat from my residency program, for the last night my friends and I would be medical interns. Zoë came along and met one of my attending's new babies. The music (and my friends) were loud so we did have to leave dinner earlier than others. Plus it was way past Zoë's bedtime, but as usual, Zoë got a lot of attention at the event.
