Chicago, City, Chocolate

Okay, so I've had this post prepared for quite a few days but just haven't posted it because I've been distracted with other things. But here are a few pics from Chicago. Next will be the pictures from New York.

We had a great weekend away! Flew into Chicago on last Wednesday and wandered around downtown. Went up the John Hancock Tower (third tallest building) and the view from the top was pretty sweet! Went to the Hershey's store and to Wicked (broadway musical) in the evening which was amazing!! So much fun! After Wicked we returned to our hotel for dinner (at 11pm). We decided to order 2 lbs of wings to shared. Um.. in Canada terms that's not a lot of chicken. In U.S. terms that's a copious amount of chicken. Chrystal's pictures wont' open on my computer and she has the picture of the gigantic plate of wings so we'll have to wait on that one. it was pretty amazing though. haha.. but it gets better.. (you'll have to wait for that story for the next post).

Thursday morning we went for the Chicago architectural boat tour, which was awesome. it was an hour and a half through the canals of Chicago under all the lift up bridges that go across the river. So beautiful! And the buildings are all pretty amazing! Later we went for Chicago deep dish pizza and then went to the airport to catch our flight to New York! Enjoy the photos!

Yay! I brought my pictures to Sask with me and had so much fun reliving the trip over and over! My pics won't open? Maybe Vista and your Mac aren't compatible or something. Sorry, we'll have to figure something out!!
