A trip to the windy city ...

For spring break {which we currently have 3 more glorious days of} we took a little trip to the Windy City for a couple days.  We stayed right in the heart of downtown - walked walked walked - ate ate ate - and enjoyed a great time with friends!  Here's a little picture recap of our adventures ...

Lobster Rolls were a must for our first night - sadly, they were all out of lobster! But, we had crab rolls instead which were SO good - and went back our last night to have some lobster {which didn't disappoint either!}

Our first night it was SO nice out - so we did a lot of walking around town ... 

Down by the river ... 

And over to Millennium Park


The night view from our hotel room ...


Day two we had a chilly {about 20 degrees cooler than the night before!} walk to the Shedd.


We had a blast and loved seeing so many creatures!







Day three we headed to Willis Tower.  Such a breathtaking view!



And of course we HAD to go out on the Sky Deck! 103 floors above the city!





After all that walking we stopped to have some Girordano's Chicago Style Pizza for lunch - SO good!


And later on we took another walk to get some popcorn for my mom ;)



A late night snack to Fire Cakes - SOOO good!


We may have taken a walk in the rain the next morning to get a donut for breakfast too ;)


After we checked out of our hotel we drove over to the Museum of Science and Industry where we saw the Brick by Brick exhibit.  So many amazing models made out of lego!




And of course we had to check out the bike exhibit too ;)



Our pup had a blast at the doggy hotel too --- he was pretty tied when we returned home :)
