hotel room with a great view because our first room was occupied when we walked in! opps!
the view
After we caught the "loop", "CTA", or rapid, as we call it, we walked through tunnels, buildings, walkways, and whatnot to get to our hotel. We freshened up, caught a taxi, and went to Maggiano's for dinner. The taxi driver recommended the place and we were very happy with it!
We got up early Saturday and went to Shedd's Aquarium. It was very interesting and a constant reminder of our girls because they would have had a great time there. After that we walked around and hit Michigan Ave "shopping central." No major purchases, mostly just t-shirts for the girls.
We waited for an hour to eat the famous stuffed pizza and it was SOOO worth the wait! Yum!
Saturday night we were not very hungry because of the amazing stuffed pizza we ate so we just went to the John Hancock lounge, got some drinks, and enjoyed the view!
Sunday we went to Navy Pier. The weather was gorgeous so we just walked around the pier and sat at a few benches to enjoy the view. After that we made a long trek back to our hotel, stopped at a deli for lunch, then grabbed our bags and headed to Midway airport. It was the perfect getaway and just what we needed! Thanks again mom and dad for a great weekend and taking care of our girls and dogs for us! :)
