Chicago

This last weekend, Jason and I headed to Chicago to visit Melody without the kids.  We had so much fun! On Friday, we ate lunch at Harry Carey's and then did a 7 hour walking tour of the city! I was amazed at how beautiful and clean the city is! The weather was wonderful break from the Houston humidity and we walked without barely breaking a sweat.

  We also took a architecture boat ride around the city.  It was really neat to hear all the stories about the rebuild of Chicago after the great fire!

The best view of the city was in the women's restroom at the Hancock tower

We were so tired from our walking tour, we got some famous deep dish pizza to go and watched The Dark Knight (filmed in Chicago) at Melody's place that evening!

 On Saturday, we headed to a cubs game at Wrigley's field.  The atmosphere was like anything I have ever experienced! Those Chicagoans love their cubs! Even though the lost 11-4, they were partying like crazy afterwards! We had lots of fun walking to each bar and soaking up the atmosphere!

On Sunday, we ate a great breakfast at a little cafe and then rode the subway to the airport. It was an amazing weekend!
