Chicago (a week later)

Sorry for the delay, as always, so many computer problems! SO ANNOYING!!!

 

So last Monday we both put in a half day at work, went home packed for us and the girls and then had about 3 hours to spare. We found a patio and got a late lunch with a couple drinks to start our vacation. Then we dropped the girls stuff off at my parents house and my dad took us to the airport! We got into Chicago, took the train and found our hotel and then found some dinner....which was actually hard to do at 9:30-10 on a Monday night, we went to the restaurant across the street, Sweetwater. It was really good food and a great place to watch football! We shut our restaurant down at 11 (we were watching Monday night football, didn't even occur to us that places wouldn't be open), then we shut down our hotel bar at 11:30!

 

We got up and found a great breakfast at Wildberry. I had the cinnamon roll pancakes, SO good! Highly recommend this place!

We went back to the hotel and got ready to rock and met up with our friend Kruse, who happened to be in Chicago going to the same concert as us!

We took the train to Wrigleyville!

And surprisingly at 11 am on a Tuesday, it is not easy to find a place open in Wrigleyville when there is not a baseball game going on! We walked until we found this perfect little Irish bar with a patio and we hung out for drinking, chatting for hours! Once it got closer to concert time we headed closer to the field and it was so fun! We met up with a couple of Kruse's friends and enjoyed the chaos of the AC/DC pre-show fun!

Then we headed into Wrigley field for the concert! Our seats were far away, as we knew they would be but it was a great show, perfect weather and alot of fun! So glad I got to experience that with Steve since they are his favorite!

 

After the concert the crowd was crazy and there was no way we were getting in the bar and no way we were waiting for the train to go back towards the hotel. So we Uber'd it! We are HUGE Uber fans! (check it out! do it! love it!) It was $18 and totally worth it! We headed back to the hotel and got food at the Jamaican restaurant there! Very good, very spicy and we waste so much food b/c neither one of us can eat that much! Oh well, it's vacation, right?
