Chicago

We arrived in the suburbs of Chicago on Saturday night and had dinner at Weber Grill. The food was delicious! Everything is cooked over charcoal grills. Joe had a steak and we girls had burgers. Then we settled in for the night since we knew we'd have a busy day in the city.

Once we found parking in the city, we decided to do the tourist thing and ride the hop on hop off bus so we could see as much of the city as possible. Our first hop off was at the Navy Pier. My friend Amy texted me just in time that we should eat at Giordano's if we wanted an awesome pizza. We certainly did want pizza, so we tried a true Chicago Deep Dish. Oh my...it was heavy:) Megan, who was not having a good day, does not think that this is real pizza. Sauce is not supposed to be on top. When I asked her what was real pizza, she replied Little Caeser's. Well, guess we have failed there...or not, since it only costs $5!  She finally indulged and I think she liked it.

We looked around the Navy Pier and then hopped back on the bus. I'm really glad we did the bus, we learned quite a bit about the various buildings, museums and landmarks. Of course we had to hop off and grab some Ghiradelli ice cream, the last one of the trip. Then we hopped back on to head to Millenium Park to see the big bean. The girls were quite mesmerized by it. I was quite dizzy from it, but when in Chicago, one must see the bean.  After that, it was back on the bus to our last stop closest to where the RV was parked.

It was a fun day in the city and the weather was perfect. It was cool and breezy, especially on top of the bus. Chicago is definitely a place we would like to visit again when we can stay longer and enjoy some of the museums. It's a good thing some of our friends are moving to Chicago, so we will have an excuse to come up here again very soon!
