My thoughts for Chicago :)

I really, really, really want to go to Lou Mitchell's for breakfast on Saturday. It's seriously the best breakfast I've ever had, and DH and I go there every time we're in Chicago (so 2-3 times/year). The only problem with this restaurant that I can see is that we'd have to be seated in groups of 2-4 since it's kind of a crazy busy place but SOOO worth it. I recommend going early (think 7-8am).

Other than that, I hadn't really thought about what I want to do, other than I would like to walk around the zoo (weather permitting) and do some shopping/window shopping/browsing.

I'd love to have a hotdog for lunch, so Portillo's might be a good, inexpensive option for that (YUM!!)

I'm kind of hoping I won't be able to drink, and a lot of what DH and I normally do in Chicago involves bars and beer! LOL We're also going back for our anniversary in September and are going to the Aquarium then, so I don't plan to on this trip.

Also, I think it would be FANTASTIC to go as a complete group to the Sears Tower. It would make for some cool pictures, I think.

    I hope that you can't drink either!!

    Can we maybe try to set a time in the afternoon for this?

    And how are you feeling?

    I would also do some shopping but just something for me to bring back for my kids Big Smile

  • No drinking for me, but the Zoo or Sears tower sound like great ideas to me!  I haven't been since they've added "The Ledge"

  • Sounds like a good plan to me. I have never been to the zoo in Chicago.

    What type of transportation are we thinking about for longer distances from the hotel? Public transit or cabs? I have never done cabs and am not sure about the expense. I do have experience using the public transit.

    I always take cabs to Lou Mitchell's and the Zoo. Everywhere else, I usually walk!

  • I'm cool with going to the zoo. Portillos is yum-o but I will be doing the food tour so wont be able to go. But I recommend it for everyone else. Not even sure where the closest one to downtown is. I don't have a desire to go up the sears tower (unless it is free) but I'll go for a photoif we wanted a group photo outside it. I think group photo in front of the bean would be neat.

    What about a ticket to Detroit on Thursday? It's cheaper to fly on Thursdays and Tuesdays. I could pick you up, you could stay with me Thursday night, and then you could get on my flight from Detroit which was less than $200 round trip on Southwest.

    Think about it!!!
