Day two of our trip we woke up and had breakfast at the hotel restaurant and then headed to Chicago!
The last time we went to Chicago together was right after summer sales in Cincinnati Ohio. We visited on the way home. It was a crazy experience that freaked me out and we really just stayed the night in a sketchy motel where someone banged on the door in the middle of the night, scaring us to death and then we drove around Chicago the next day, not being able to afford to park. We parked in a no parking zone and then took a picture by Lake Michigan and then drove home.
Josh has gone to Chicago once with work and once with Palmer and he loved it. This time we were going to experience it right. We first went to the Sky Deck of the Sears Tower and took pictures of the view.
We went out on the "ledge" and it freaked Josh out...
Pretty cool!
That is a tall building!
Some local art.
Checking out Chicago.
Yummy ice cream while we waited for our boat tour.
I loved going on the boat tour! We learned so much about the architecture and history of Chicago.
It was a little cold, but super fun.
I always love a lighthouse.
We walked around the city shopping and seeing all the cute things. We found a Ralph Lauren that had "Ralph's Coffee."
We got hot chocolate and a pain au chocolat. The hot chocolate wasn't very good, but the foam was really pretty.
Such a cute cafe.
Someone told us to try Garrett's caramel popcorn. We didn't have high expectations, but it was really good!
Beautiful ivy covered church. Chicago was so charming.
Inside a mall.
We found a huge awesome Harry Potter store.
It had a cafe with treats and butter beer.
I got the cake from Harry's birthday. It was yummy.
Patronus outside the Harry Potter store.
We stopped on the way home and got dinner. I got Sweetgreen and Josh got pizza...Such a fun day!
