Figured I'd update everyone on how our trip went.
LOVED IT!!!! We had an awesome time, and look forward to going back in warmer weather. The cold wasn't too too bad, and we still did a shit-ton of walking. Took cabs here and there, but the train to get to and from Midway, how convenient!!! Wish I could get to the airport and back here for $2.25 and leave my car at home! lol
Saturday - got to the hotel around 2, unpacked, then hit up Ed Debevic's...hilarious. Our waiter came by on his way to another table and was like..."Yea, I'm your waiter, get excited about it". When my wife's burger came out, she asked for a knife. He grabbed one off another table and stabbed her burger right in the middle of it! hahaha Took a cab to Water Tower Place, impressive mall! Only store we went into was Candyality for some gummies and chocolate covered smores. Also stopped by the front desk there to pick up our Go Chicago Card. $175 for the both of us, and we had access to 27 attractions! Most of them had "front of the line" access, so no waiting! WELL worth it IMO.
Sunday killed us. After breakfast, took a cab to the Shedd Aquarium and spent a few hours there. Then walked over to the Field Museum for a few more hours. We didn't even see the whole museum...holy SHIT was that place HUGE!!! We just saw what we wanted to see and left. So, driving past the Bean in the cab, I'm like..."Well, that's not too far?" We wanted to see that next, but I didn't think it was far enough to merit a $10 cab ride (what we spent on every cab ride we took) so we walked it. BIG mistake!! It was a LOT farther than expected. hahaha But ah well, that's life. The bean was pretty awesome, got some cool shots there. Then we walked over to Sears Tower, followed by a cab ride to Portillo's. Chicago Dog's FTW!!! My wife got pissed at me because I wouldn't give her a bite of it. lol I'm like...."WTF!!! I'M the Chicago Dog lover here, we're IN Chicago, and you want me to give you MY FIRST BITE of an authentic Chicago Dog??" (I hadn't even bitten into it yet) Do you WANT me to go home without you????
Naptime at the hotel after that, then Giordano's for some Pizza later in the night. I couldn't even mess with that stuff...DAMN it was filling! Since we didn't have a fridge in the room, we gave our leftovers to a bum. lol
Monday started off with the Herbie Hancock Observatory. I actually liked that one better than Sears Tower! Then another $10 cab ride to Navy Pier...froze our ass off there! haha We just walked to the end outside, and went inside for the walk back, so it wasn't the worst thing in the world. Cab ride to a Verizon Store so they could check out my wife's phone that was acting up, then a short walk across the street to the Marilyn Monroe statue for some fun (tee HE!), and since we were right there, stopped by the Billy Goat Tavern for a Cheezborger!!! Amazing! Naptime again, then Portillo's for dinner...2 Chicago Dogs, an Italian Beef, and Hot Fudge Sunday...had to do it right on our last night! haha And that place was our favorite.
Train back to Midway, and home on Tuesday.
Thanks again to everyone for the input and suggestions!!
Oh, and Garret's Popcorn was ridiculous!! Definitely going to order that stuff online for home delivery!! haha
