We made our way to Chicago for a good friend's wedding. It was one of the most fabulous weddings I have been to. We were chauffered to & from the ceremony/reception. The bride was gorgeous, the ceremony was beautiful, the reception was elegant and the groom was tearful. It was so classy, so romantic. Congrats once again to Shane & Patricia Jackson!
Chicago is a great place to visit! Jason and I are great tourists - not the kind that wear fanny packs, but the kind who like to try different kinds of food & drink and see major tourist sites. In that being said, we shopped the Magnificent Mile in downtown Chicago, we ate at the famous deep-dish pizza restaurant Giordonos, we tried a Chicago style hot-dog & we took on the heat at a Chicago WhiteSox ball game.

At a Chicago WhiteSox ball game. Of course, it had to be hot, hot, hot after a night of celebrating till wee hours of the morning - even my knees were sweating. When we got to the 5th inning, I got excited, thinking we were near the end. Apparently, there are 9.
Batter - up!

A day of shopping downtown Chicago - in the rain.
It doesn't matter to me how hard it rains, nothing gets in my way when it comes to shopping.
