Chicago

Jason and I had our 10 year anniversary in July and to celebrate we went to Chicago this last week. It was awesome! It was really nice to have some time alone. I am very grateful for good family and friends who were willing to take good care of our kids!

We stayed in downtown and enjoyed walking by the river, going on a river cruise and watching fireworks, seeing Buckingham fountain, eating some great food, going to the Lincoln Park Zoo (which is free, by the way), the aquarium, and a Cubs game (we sat on the first row, right next to the Cubs dugout; I personally didn't care where we sat, but Jason did, and I have to admit it was pretty cool to be close enough to see the blades of grass on the field).

This eyeball was the first thing we saw when we got off of the train in Chicago. I guess every city should have an eyeball like this.


We used the subway and buses to get around Chicago and I was surprised at how old and rundown the subway stations really were.
