I think it is so much fun to go to a new city and eat your way through it! At least that is what we did in Chicago.
Tom's friend Rocky Yapp is a Doctor in Chicago and has a hotel room in Chicago pretty much next to the Hancock building that we were able to use for 4 days. It was originally a trip for work that I got to go on with Tom and Jamie. It ended up changing and Jamie did not have to work but had to spend the time with us!
The first night we ate at a place called Spiaggia - they have the expensive restaurant and then the cafe side. We went to the cafe side and enjoyed a great dinner. When leaving I tried to go to the restroom on the restaurant side but they were running people through metal detectors! We decided to just go to our room and on the way out we found several secret service men and limos...it is Michelle Obama's favorite restaurant and she had come in to town.
We went to the Art Museum, shopped the Miracle Mile, walked Millennium Park,walked to Navy Pier...walked and walked and walked.
We ate at Fontera, The Purple Pig, The Girl and The Goat! We got cupcakes from Sprinkles and popcorn from Garretts! Thank goodness for all the walking.
If you ever get a chance to get out of the airport in Chicago check out the city.
