A few weeks ago, Stephen and I went to Chicago for a much needed weekend getaway. We enjoyed a lot of good food, good shopping and perfect weather! We saw as much of the city as we could in two full days. We also enjoyed being able to finish a meal and a sentence without being interrupted! After three nights away, we were refreshed and ready to see the kiddos. I'm thankful for grandparents and babysitters who made this trip possible. Here are a few pics...
All dressed up for a night out. This was the view from the lounge at the top of our hotel.
The Cubs played in town, but we didn't have time to catch the game...too much to see!
The "bean" at millenium park.

We took one of the double-decker bus tours and saw many, many sites. I didn't have my camera for the top of the John Hancock building, but it was probably my favorite. You could see about 80 miles around from up there. 
The famous water tower was one of the only buildings left after the great Chicago fire of 1871. 
No visit to Chicago is complete without seeing Oprah's studio. We also saw her two-story penthouse on Lakeshore drive. Didn't get a good pic!
