Okay, so you know how people go on vacation and take a picture of every little thing they see and want to remember...and then they come home and show you every picture so YOU will remember every little thing? Well, that's what I'm about to do...lol It really is so you can see Rach, but that's just what I feel like right now for everyone else!
So we went to Chicago, in August of 2007, wow, I didn't realize it was that long ago! Anyway, I flew to Oakland from LA, Fidel picked me up and we drove to San Francisco to take a red eye to Chicago...
It was a rough flight as you can see how we looked when we got on the train! So we got to my aunt's house (where we stayed) and took a nap. We decided to not be too ambitious on the first day and that we would just wake up, get all pretty and go out to a fancy dinner and call it a night. So that's what we did...
After literally 5 minutes of walking, we were like literally hit in the face by a massive storm! We were instantly drenched, so we ran into a foot locker and asked what the nearest restaurant was..they said there was a Popeye's on the next block. No thank you. So we took a cab back home and ordered Chicago Pizza! Mmmm, best thing that has ever happened to us. The pic above is before, the pic below is after, it was a rough 15 minutes as you can see! lol
The Next Day
The Next Day
Lunch Cruise=SOOOOO much fun! And Beautiful!
Grant Park
Big Weird Mirror Shaped Bean...where we saw Big Weird Sweaty AL! lol
Water Tower...the only thing not burned in the fire(I think)
Hancock Observatory=Gorgeous views all the way around!! Definitely recommended! As you can see we spent a good amount of time there...pics start light and end dark! lol
We found this cute little pizzeria where we had calzones outside the White Sox stadium...it was just so cute I couldn't help myself!
This is my FAVORITE Chicago picture of us.
White Sox/Red Sox game...so much fun! It was nice to be at a rivalry game that you didn't REALLY care about! Unlike the Giants/Dodgers games. Eew, I don't wanna talk about it.lol
About to get on the "L" train, see it? Here it comes! Fidel is talented isn't he? Luv him!
NAVY PIER: You just gotta do it.
