So... my main birthday present is a trip to the windy city, hooray! (I am giving up fun, non necessity wants for a cultural experience! Yay me!) I have never been to Chicago and couldn't be more excited! Mikey has a good friend that lives (nearish) to the city, so he and his girlfriend are going to be playing "host" and we have lots of fun things planned. Some of our very best friends are making the trip with us....this is what we have in store:
1. Architectural Boat Tour. I heard from several people this was a must do to see the city. I love water, boats, and pretty buildings. Should be good times.
2. Hop on/off Signature Trolley tour. I know Chicago is a walkable city, but I like these tours b/c you get to hear about lots of neat historical things, etc. Added bonus: not as much walking, I'm lazy.
3. Second City. SUPER DUPER pumped about this. Really. Pumped. We are going to see "The Absolute Best Friggin Time of your life."
4. Giordano's Famous Chicago Style Pizza: a trip to the windy city wouldn't be complete without a taste of some pie. This restaurant was recommended by several people, yummmm....my mouth is watering just thinking about it.
5. Other restaurant/bar/happy hour recs. that we hope to be hitting up include: Yolk for brunch, Rockit Bar and Grill for lunch, Hub 51 for dinner, Mercadito for dinner, Bull and Bear, and Epic. I CANNOT WAIT. Good food, good friends, good city = good weekend.
6. The Palmer House: I really hope this hotel is as cool as it sounds and looks. The 4 of us are staying in one room, but the cool part is there are TWO bathrooms. WOW~ do I sound like a backwood redneck who never gets out or what!?! Regardless, excited about staying here, great location!
Would love to hear any other recs., we leave Friday!
Happy Tuesday, TWO days till 27 and THREE days till CHICAGO=)

The architectural boat tour is awesome! I went during a college class as an assignment, but I loved it - so cool to learn all about the amazing buildings in the city! Definitely a good choice! :)
