CHICAGO

During the last week of October I was talking with my friend Valerie and we started talking about Chicago and talking about how fun it would be to take a trip there. So I said lets do it this weekend. And that's what we did. We got on Orbitz and found a great deal on a hotel room right in the heart of the city. And we decided that we would meet up at the Midway airport and ride the subway into the city. And that was that. Saturday morning we hopped in the car - and drove 6 hours to Chicago's Midway airport - parked and met up with Valerie and her hubby David. We were all so excited. None of us had ever been to Chicago before - so it was bound to be a great adventure. We did so much in a 24 hour period. We ate awesome pizza, went to the top of the Sears Tower, walked the Magnificent Mile, went to Millennium park and went to Navy Pier to ride the Ferris wheel.
Chicago!!

Eating Famous Deep Dish Pizza! We heart pizza -MMMMM...it was really good!

Giordano's is known to be one of Chicago's Best Pizza!

After eating we walked to the Sears Tower and road the elevator all the way to the top!

Our view from the top - it was a beautiful night view!

After the Sears Tower - we headed over to walk the Magnificent Mile. And Magnificent it was. We headed down to the Hershey store where we were in Chocolate Heaven!

Aren't these Hershey bottles great! We have a picture posing with these bottles at the Hershey store in NYC. I always get comments on it. Truth is - these aren't REAL bottles of chocolate - they are piggy banks!

I love Tyson Kisses! I do. I do!

After the Hershey store we headed over to Ghirardelli Chocolate for some yummy ice cream sundae's - by the time we were sitting down we were all so tired from walking, we weren't motivated to take pictures. But I can promise the ice cream was the bomb! After ice cream we headed back to our hotel and crashed for the night.

The next morning we got up early - ate breakfast and we were off for more adventure. This is Tyson showing off his goods (oh baby!) on our walk to Navy Pier.

Navy Pier was cool. We hopped on the Ferris Wheel and enjoyed the ride around enjoying the view.

The BEAN.

We also hit up Millennium Park - which was so COOL! We got to see the BEAN, which was seriously so neat! We had a good time taking a ton of pictures!

All four of us holding up the bean. Some ladies thought it would be really fun for us to pose like this. Whatev. It was fun.

In front of the BEAN. I love how the city reflects off the BEAN.

Our trip was so fun! We will definitely take a trip or two back there before we leave Ohio. Hopefully next time we can, ya know, go hangout with Oprah! haha.We are so happy we have such wonderful friends who will be adventurous with us. Thanks Val and David for such a quick, but fun weekend! Let the good times roll.
