Chicago

Once again I have fallen behind on my bloggin... so here is what we have been up to...

We went to Chicago a couple weeks ago and it was a BLAST! Mike's uncle and aunt and their kids went down there on a vacation and invited us up to join them and who could turn down a trip to Chicago?! We stayed right in the heart of downtown (the good part) so pretty much everything was within walking distance which was nice since traffic is a little crazy down there! Our first day there we went to a Cubs-Twins game (and of course the Cubs lost). It was really neat to see Wrigley Field and see the ivy in the outfield. Mike was like a little kid wanting to take pictures of everything. I couldnt believe how many people were there!

Mike's uncle and aunt took us out to this pizza place that is famous for of course the Chicago style pizza, we had to wait a little over and hour to get in but it was well worth it! The pizza was really good, I could barely finish one piece because it was soo big. The next few days we spend hoppin' around town trying to see as much as we could. We went to the museum of science and industry which was really cool! The best part about it was they had the Harry Potter traveling exhibit which seriously was the coolest thing I have ever seen! I never wanted it to end! After that we went down to Marine Point which is kinda like a board walk with vendors and lots of places to eat. The view of the skyline was amazing from there! The next day we went to the art museum which was really neat to see... lots of interesting pieces... after that we spend most of the day in the park. They where having a Blues Festival and I won a tote there and Mike won a really cool water bottle.

It was a really fun trip and I wish that we could have spend a longer time there. There is just so much to see and do! I cant wait until we get to go back!!!
