This past weekend we were able to go to Chicago (thank you Kesten’s and $35 one ways Southwest!)

We got in on Thursday afternoon and left early this morning. For the short amount of time, we sure packed a lot of fun in it! We were able to go to the Lincoln Park Zoo, Bahai Temple, Chicago Art Museum, Window shop the Magnificent Mile – I was going to buy a few new fall items at Prada, but we just didn’t have time, ha ha! I can’t fail to mention the amazing food we had Saturday night at Hugo’s Frog Bar when I hear the term “filet medallions” my taste buds will water! We were very lucky to get a ‘local’ view of Chicago too, it was so fun!

Sunday James and I ventured on our own (true tourist style) and headed over to Navy Pier . I have to say, I’m proud of myself as to make this trip as least costly as possible we only took a cab to the airport, and walked the 2 miles (each way) from our hotel to navy pier. I got my people watching fix in for sure. I loved our hotel, especially b/c priceline gave us a super duper deal! Being the freak I am, I was stressed we weren’t going to wake up in time to catch our cab at 5 a.m. So I had a really cool internal alarm that woke me up every hour starting at 12 a.m. it was awesome. Not. But we made it on time!

It was a great time and had fun pretending there wasn’t laundry or bills waiting us at home!
