Chicago

We finally got to do our improv/ late anniversary gift. CHICAGO! We took the weekend to get away and listen to General Conference on the way up. We spent the first night in Normal Illinois. Chris was so excited because its mentioned in a Ben Folds song. We then took off the next morning to the Windy City where we played in Millennial Park on the age 12 and under playground and slides. We then went and got some great Chicago grub and walked by the Michigan river to the Navy Pier. We couldn't pass up the mystery maze and went through a psychedelic maze with strobe lights and mirrors at all corners. Next up was the Architect Tour where you tour Chicago on a boat and learn about all the cool buildings. Basically the only thing that I remember is the TRUMP hotel where each letter cost more than $100,00 dollars to put up. Of course he had to put a stamp on his hotel because people were calling it the Sears Hotel not TRUMP. (This is per the tour guide, just saying!) It was pretty chilly this day so we had some hot chocolates and enjoyed the city life! Exhausted we went back to the hotel and were out for an hour to go our next round and see the night life in Chicago. We went to The Magnificent Mile which means shopping! Chris's favorite :) We went to Dylans Candy Store and got some goods for the movie we saw late at night The Martian. We saw some interesting people many hipsters. Next day, we also enjoyed the art museum and learned about all the cool contemporary art. The American Gothic was my favorite. Learning it actually wasn't husband and wife but really father and daughter. We got some tasty hot dogs to end our trip! So much fun and best of all got to enjoy it with my husband :)
