Chicago

A couple of weeks ago Brando had training in Chicago for a week and I flew out to join him over the weekend to enjoy the city. I really did not know what to expect. I figured that Chicago would be just like New York and I was completely wrong. I love me some New York City, if I could live there, even for a couple of months, I would do it in a heart beat. But, I fell in love with Chicago. Chicago has all of the good aspects of a big city, but it also has a smaller feel. The streets are wide and clean, there are a lot of couples walking around with their babies, and best of all...there are drawbridges!!!

We had a great time exploring the city. We went on an architectural boat tour, where we learned about all of the buildings and their history. It was extremely interesting! One night we went to a free concert in the park by the Bean and happened to come across The Taste of Chicago. They were having an outdoor festival where restaurants around the city were selling food. It was delicious!!!

On Sunday, Brandon's flight left 5 hours before mine. While he was gone, I spent the rest of the day wandering around the city, I ate lunch right on the river, shopped on Magnificent Mile and pretty much explored the city. We had a great time, I hope that we get another opportunity to visit!!
