Chicago Trip


It seems like every summer for the past four years that we lived in Arizona we would start talking about how much we missed Chicago. Especially when we went to all the cubs spring training games around Phoenix. Once we decided earlier this year to move back to Indianapolis, Jason started planning a weekend in Chicago for us and got Cubs tickets at Wrigley Field. We went a few weekends ago in April and had a blast. The Cubs won against the Dodgers in the 8th inning. We sat in the outfield with the "bleacher bums". It was a beautiful day there and such an exciting game. We didn't plan for such a sunny day and got a little burnt on our faces!


After the game we ate at Uno's Pizza which was a few blocks from our hotel. Then we walked around Michigan Ave and went up in the John Hancock Tower Observatory once it got dark. It was so beautiful! We actually went up in the observatory when we went to Chicago back in 2003, one of our first trips together. Since then it looks so much different. They added a restaraunt at the top and a bunch of tables and sitting areas.

The next morning we went to Shedd Aquarium. It was awesome! It was actually Easter Sunday when we were there. Didn't know if it would be more or less crowded, but we are glad we went early because the line to get in was crazy by the time we were leaving. We took a lot of cool pictures there and are glad we went!
