Chicago!!!!

Ryan and I went to Chicago for the first time for both of us this week and had an absolutely amazing time!!!  The city is so fabulous and alive and we packed everything we could into our three day stay and we both did everything we wanted to in this great city!!  To our surprise it was snowing when we arrived Thursday but we loved it (of course because we knew we were going back to warmer weather in a few short days)!!! We enjoyed the best food and drinks in amazing places, went on an architectural boat tour on the river Saturday and enjoyed the perfect high 50's temperatures, saw the famous sights of Chicago such as Wrigley field (although we both decided it is a must to go back during baseball season to see a Cubs game) and of course I loved shopping on Michigan Avenue while Ryan had to do a deposition which is actually what brought us to Chicago!  It was such a special trip for us and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment in this great city!!! Although we did miss our Jackson and couldn't have been happier to see him when we got home!!!  Enjoy some pictures from our Chicago trip!!
