It was instant. At first sight. From the moment we arrived in Chicago, I knew it was love. The city immediately took my heart and each day we spent there, I adored it even more. I joked with Matt over dinner the first night that he may have to drag me to the airport on the last day of our trip. And friends, that became a reality when it was time to leave.
Chicago was our belated anniversary trip. We’d never been and wanted to go somewhere new for a few days. It was a much welcome break and just what we needed. We walked miles and miles around the city. We ate too much delicious food. We did a bit of shopping and explored endlessly. It was perfection. And no vacay would be complete without lots of pictures to remember it by.
We stayed in the Water Tower District and had this lovely view from our window.

The food in Chicago? Spectacular. One of our favorites was Frontera Grill.

Matt has been a huge Bulls fan since I can remember so no trip to Chicago would be complete without a stop to United Center.
