The Bun and I just returned from a fabulous (albeit rainy) weekend in Chicago.  Thank you to everyone who gave us great tips on what to see, do, and eat!  We hit up the Art Institute on Thursday after a delicious lunch at Gage.  Dinner was Giordano’s pizza. Yum! Saturday was spent exploring the sights of  Millennium Park (the Bean and the wonderful sounds of the orchestra practicing) and Grant Park  (Buckingham Fountain), taking in a Cubs game, and enjoying a delicious beverage in the Signature Lounge on the 96th floor of the Hancock Tower.  The torrential downpours did not stop us from enjoying an architectural tour of Chicago by boat on Saturday as well as a superb dinner at Blackbird. The in-between hours were spent watching Up (KHC, it *is* a fantastic movie!) and touring Navy Pier once the sun came out.  It was a whirlwind trip, but we had a wonderful time!
