I surprised Mikey with a weekend trip to Chicago to celebrate his 30th birthday! We arrived on Friday Sept 25th at:
The Hard Rock Hotel is located in the old Carbide & Carbon building. Here is the swanky lobby:
Our room overlooked Michigan Avenue and so we were eager to venture out. We were both so amazed at the great landscaping in this city.
How cute is this? They had displays like this everywhere along the Magnificent Mile:
This was on the sidewalk right outside our hotel:
We worked up an appetite for Chicago Deep Dish Pizza... Sausage & Pineapple:
Good thing our hotel was only a couple blocks away because we stuffed ourselves silly. Here is our hotel lit up at night (taken from the pizza place). We stayed on the 22nd floor which is the start of the taller portion of the building. We got to go up the "special elevator." We loved how easy it was to navigate by car, foot & train in this city.
It was a foggy night. Very mystical:
After dinner, Mikey spotted fireworks over the lake. Here's a glimpse between two buildings (sorry for the poor lighting... just had my point & shoot camera, not the DSLR). It was a great night after a long day of traveling.
Here we are before calling it a night. We got some free drinks from the bartender who was trying out a new drink menu:)
