We left for Chicago on our 7th Anniversary, August 21st, to see the Windy City and a BRAVES/Cubs game at Wrigley Field. A few things I learned in Chicago:
1. Hotel Parking is $50 per 24 hour period...are you kidding me?
2. Public transportation is $5.75/per day for all of the bus and "L" riding your heart can handle...SCORE!
3. Everyone rides bikes in Chicago (even ladies in heels). Re: #1, I am not surprised.
4. Everyone seems skinny in Chicago (with the exception of #5), it made me want to lose weight. Re: #3.
5. All Chicago Bears fans look like Dick Butkus, even the lady fans.
6. The hot dogs are all I dreamed of and then some.
7. The pizza isn't all that, but I am glad I tried it.
8. Dunkin' Donuts are all over the place.
9. People are pretty nice and I felt completely safe walking around the city.
10. When we go back I want to do a boat tour, see Millennium Park, go to the Sky Deck at the Willis Tower, and eat at many more places.
Here are some pictures of our adventure!
