We got to spend a weekend in Chicago with our dear friends Blake and Lauren a couple weekends ago. We love going on these mini getaways with them and hopefully we can continue to do them regularly! This was our second trip to the windy city with them and this was a little Baby-moon for Chad and I. This will be our last real getaway before baby girls' arrival in February.
It was COLD! But we weathered the....weather... and ventured out into the big city. We were a little more adventurous than last time we went (see Chicago 2011 post) and actually took the train this time! We were all super apprehensive at first but it was so easy and totally felt accomplished after successfully getting to and from our destination!
We checked out the Field Museum, which Chicago is known for. It was HUGE and impossible to do in one day, which we tried. We got really tired and probably only saw 3/4 of it but it was really interesting! I loved the animals and the dino bones!
Mostly though, we ate a lot of food! Weber Grill is our favorite place from last time we went and we were super excited to eat there again. I'm pretty sure the boys picked our hotel based on proximity to the Weber Grill. ;) We also ate at RPM Italian (Guilliana and Bill Rancic's restuarant) and Yolk (an awesome breakfast place) and White Palace Grill (which was on Diner's Drive-in's and Dives). Everything we ate was awesome!
We walked the Magnificent Mile several times of course and stopped for hot cocca at Ghirardelli! It was Delicious!! I want some now! We did a little bit of shopping, of course we had to stop in the HUGE Nike store and see all the crazy things they have in there!
It was an awesome trip and a much needed mini-vacation! We are thankful to have great friends like Blake and Lauren to go with us on trips like this and look forward to many more!
