Mike was awarded a very prestigious award at work and was flown to Discover Card headquarters in Chicago (along with the other winners) to receive it. He went there on a Tuesday, had fun with his co-workers and doing things at headquarters (sitting at the CEO's desk, having fancy dinners, etc.) then I joined him on Thursday and we had fun for the weekend! I'm not gonna lie, it was my first time leaving Jake overnight and I was very anxious about it (he was with my parents and was totally fine)! It was a great trip, our first time to Chicago...we really liked it there.
We were able to do tons of things there: the Science and Industry Museum, Shedd Aquarium, the Chicago Art Institute, a Cubs game (vs. the Yankees!), went to the top of the Willis (aka Sears) Tower and John Hancock Tower, had some delicious deep-dish pizza, a river/lake boat tour, and were able to walk through many of the parks! The weather was great and the city was cool, hopefully we will get to go back again some day!
In front of Buckingham Fountain - it is huge!
This is called "The Bean" in Millennium Park
