Chicago Baby!!
Chapter One
It was really amazing. I'm not sure if I can describe the feeling of being in a beautiful city with yourlove, sans children...We hit Chicago for a perfect weekend, the weather was a perfect 75 Degrees.
When I am in a large city, I feel so
A L I V E
All of the energy bouncing off everything and everybody, all meshed together among amazing technology. (Since living "off the grid", I have a new appreciation for civil engineering.)
I was literally skipping down the street. (okay, maybe more like a skip in my step.) So many cafe's and shops. A huge crowd gathered for a glimpse of Bono, who was in town for concert. They were still there an hour later as we walked by again.
And I went on so many dates! Breakfast dates, lunch, and of course dinner dates.
walk with me to the museum dates, theater dates, ball games... well, It does a woman good to go on dates!
Also, I got to have a night by myself in Chicago, (Toby was working one of the nights). I went and saw Julie and Julia...I would have never seen that in the theater. The theater was at the top of a sky scraper. I rode the largest escalator I have ever seen. Of course, it was next to the glass windows all of the way up.
My knuckles were WHITE! Kind of Scary if you have heights issues.
Then I went shopping in some fun funky stores that were HUGE. We stayed right on Michigan Ave. and enjoyed a "shi shi" hotel experience.
Again, I cannot reiterate how much fun we had together!
so, finally, pics...
As soon as we arrived, we went to breakfast!
This was after our wonderful breakfast! Who doesn't feel like kissing after eggs benedict?
The lobby of our hotel...so nice that after the red-eye, they had a room available at 6:30 a.m. Thank you Marriot on Michigan Ave.... I heart you. I really do.
We strolled the streets of Chicago. I love how art and sculpture are integrated everywhere!
see what I mean?? just beautiful.
We went to the greatest Italian restaurant, pretty small in size but the best "real" Italian food. (ha ha mom!)
We had the best conversation, and we were laughing so hard..
Also, my ravioli were about the size of my fist...
My VERY handsome date
Hello capaccino!
And what better way to end our first day with...

So jealous! I've never been to Chicago, but want to go so bad. Don't you just love trips without the kids :)
Aww that is so sweet! It sounds like you had such a good time!
We did that for our ten year anniversary and I LOVE CHICAGO!
Getting away with your husband is so amazing. I need to do it more...
Glad you had fun!
