We have been enjoying Chicago and beautiful weather the past few days. On Saturday evening we finished a great meal at Salpicon where I ate lime sorbet flavored with serrano chile peppers. It was delicious!
Upon recommendation from our waitor, we caught a late evening show at Second City- I laughed so hard I cried!
Yesterday morning we skipped the observation deck (94th floor) at the John Hancock Building (the third tallest skyscraper in Chicago) for the Signature lounge
(96th floor)- complete with festive drinks and truly breathtaking views of Chicago. (The cost of sitting down for a drink and small plate in the Signature Lounge is pretty much equivilant to the ticket fee of the observatory deck, so take your pick). Watch the below video for a peak of us at the Signature Lounge.
Aferwards, we hopped on the El and watched a Cubs/ White Sox game in nearby Wrigleyville.
I sampled a "Chicago hotdog" while in the ballpark, complete with grilled onions, neon relish and dog on a poppyseed bun.
This morning we took a bike tour alongside picturesque Lake Michigan
and visited the Field Museum and snapped a photo with Sue, the museum's famous dinosaur.
Did you know that Sue is named after the paleontologist who found this T-Rex in Utah?
We then marveled at "The Bean" in Millenium Park.
Tonight we will sample authentic deep dish pizza in this town's hot spot- Lou Malnati's Pizzeria before catching fireworks on the Navy Pier. This vacation rocks!
