The view from our room this past weekend...
We escaped to Chicago for the weekend, it was a spur of the moment trip and that’s the only way to steal DH away from his work... funny how every once in a while you have to get lost in the crowd to discover yourself.
Chicago is one of our most visited destination, particularly the downtown area... we love to stay on the ‘Magnificent Mile’...
Other things that attract us are to Chicago are
- The Devon street, where you can get everything Indian/Pakistani from chat (Indian junk food) to 22kt Gold jewelry to bad traffic
- The lake shore drive, which reminds us (DH and I) of Marine drive in Bombay
- The window shopping on Michigan Ave for latest fashion/ design/ inspiration...
- The museums, we have seen them all multiple times but we still like to go... in this trip we visited the Field Museum
- The water play area at the millennium park
All in all a fun and relaxing trip with 8 hours of sleep each day...
the best part was that kids cooperated very well during the long drives (400+ miles each way)...
and the worst part was the lighter connection in our rented Volvo was disconnected so no ipod and no GPS... bummer
I'll try to load some pictures soon...
Awesome View!! I love heading to Chicago too, but usually it is to visit family, but I get my trips downtown every once in a while. I think I have done everything you listed (except visit Devon St)
