Hello loves! Yesterday, I shared some of my favorite scenic pictures from my trip. {If you missed it, you can click here.} I'm so excited to recap and share pictures more of my trip to Chicago with you today!
{Thursday, August 25, 2011}
We had to give credit to the man who helped make this trip all possible!
Hotel #1: The Red Roof Inn in Downtown Chicago
The Navy Pier was gorgeous and was probably my favorite place in Chicago! I loved just walking by the water (Lake Michigan) and looking back at all of the buildings. There are a bunch of restaurants, stores, and things to do -- one of my faves was riding the Seadog {more on that in a future post :)}. (You can check out the Navy Pier's website here.)
Lunch at Harry Caray's Restaurant
{mid-left: turkey burger with brie cheese, cranberry relish, and roasted jalapeño aioli on a brioche bun and vinegar slaw; bottom-right: crab cake sandwich with caper rémoulade and french fries}
Smith Museum of Stained Glass Windows
This picture was taken in the mirror outside the Chicago Funhouse Maze.
We had drinks and appetizers at the Signature Lounge on the 96th floor! We overlooked the whole city. I have to say that the best view was from the ladies bathroom!
CHICAGO MARTINI -- bacardi "O" rum, raspberry liqueur, and pineapple juice
STAY TUNED for lots more to come!
Have you ever been to Chicago? Did you visit the Navy Pier and John Hancock Building?

The Navy Pier looks gorgeous and so does the view of the city at night time! I'm so happy that you had a great time! It looks so fun and I hope John and I can get over there sometime to check it out!
I was so disappointed when we went to the Navy Pier, it was completely empty and lots of things were closed.
We loved the John Hancock building though!! It's nice that it's free if you go up and have a drink :)
I'm pretty sure that I need a Chicago Martini!
What a fun trip! I've ALWAYS wanted to go to Chicago. You look absolutely adorable!
I love your collages! The first day of your vaca looks great!
Love this post!! I've only been to Chicago once and it was literally for a day, so we didn't get to see anything except Wrigley Field!
Great photos, LOL at the one in the funhouse mirror!
Ahhh! I love all of these pictures. You make the best collages! I'm so glad you had an amazing trip. You and your mama are gorgeous. xoxo!

Looks amazing!!! These will definitely be on my to-see list when (if?) I get to Chicago.
Your blog is cute! I loved the Chicago photos. It's my favorite city! Last time, I toured with a group we got a Chicago Charter Bus Rental.
