We were excited to learn that some of our best friends were planning a fun long weekend trip to Chicago in November. Chicago was definitely on our list of places that we've always wanted to visit! While in Chicago, we ate delicious food, visited Shedd's Aquarium, shopped on Michigan Ave, ate a Chicago dog, ate at 3 famous Chicago pizza landmarks, devoured Garrett's popcorn, had a swanky drink at "The Aviary" bar, went to the famous B.L.U.E.S bar, walked the pier, visited the Bean numerous times, and much more!
What a cute picture with the Chicago skyline in the background.... so I thought.
Look closely to the left, what the heck is going on? Did she trip, or is she getting mugged? Now, look at the right side...they look like statues. Are they watching or frozen in time?
My 5 year old husband Kirk had to walk on the tall wall.
Not sure what he's trying to do???
What a delicious Chicago dog!
Walking the streets of Chicago at night, we came across "The Redhead" piano bar!
With a recommendation from my brother-in-law BJ, we ventured to this swanky bar called The Aviary. They specialize in unique drinks that require instructions before you enjoy!
This was Kirk's drink "In Ice". It was an ice sphere that came in a glass. The sphere had to be cracked with a special slingshot, revealing a cocktail with the broken ice sphere floating like little glaciers!
This was Brandee's drink. It came out in a beaker that had to be brewed for a while before enjoying!
The ice sphere post slingshot!
Mmmmmm, pizza
DO NOT EVER TRY Garrett's Popcorn unless you want to become addicted!
We visited the famous "Bean" a few times. This is taken from inside.
Looking up from inside
He's a mess
More pizza!

We bought this Merry Christmas sign at Macy's to make cute pictures!

When you come across a cow on the sidewalk.....hop on and take a picture!
Jon had a sesame street skit stuck in his head (he's such a good daddy), so this was his "proud, proud, proud to be a cow"! I shortly had it stuck in my head too!
We all had too much fun with this cow!
Well, hello Marilyn.
