My Kind of Town

Mark and I spent this past weekend in Chicago and had a fabulous time. Mark was there for a game, and I flew in for the weekend to enjoy the city, go to the game, and see Mark's sister, Deb, and her family. The weather there over the weekend was unseasonably cool, but it was awesome for walking around the city. We were staying downtown, just a few blocks from Michigan Avenue, a.k.a. the Magnificent Mile, and a few blocks the other way was Navy Pier and the waterfront side of the city, so it was a perfect location. On Friday night we walked through downtown and got a table for dinner at Carmine's which was a fantastic meal. On Saturday, we shopped on Michigan Avenue, had lunch at an outdoor cafe, then Mark got ready for the game and I kept on walking around to the waterfront side of the city.I didn't bring my nice camera b/c I was trying to travel light, so the pictures aren't great and I didn't take many...too busy having fun!
I went to the game with Deb, Rick, and the girls. Everyone is all smiles here after the game since DC got their first road vicory. Maybe I'm good luck and should travel away more weekends? :) My parents (who watched the girls for us) might think otherwise, but I appreciated the chance to get away for the weekend with Mark and have some fun.
