Chicago Day 1

Last weekend I flew to Chicago for my friend Kristyna's wedding. She was one of my closest friends at Baylor so I was excited to see her so happy and in love with her man! She was a beautiful bride, as you'll see...but here's a recap of our trip! Jenni came with me to see Chicago and we had a great time! Day 1-

Wake up at 4 AM to head to the airport. Willow was so tired she refused to get out of bed!
Arrive at the gate and board the jet plane!
Take off!
Arrive in Chicago, head towards the subway, or as they say in Chicago, the L!
Ride the L from O'hare to Downtown!
Check in at our home away from home, the Congress Plaza Hotel!
Walk to the Buckingham Fountain
Watch the water show!
Walk to Millennium Park for some more fountain fun!

Self photograph in front of the shiny bean at Millennium Park, with Chicago behind us!
Giordano's Chicago style deep dish pizza for lunch, yum!
Stand on The Ledge at Willis (Sears) Tower, a glass balcony 103 feet above Chicago!!!

Walk State Street and see the Chicago Theatre!
Wait in line and consume Garrett's famous Chicago Mix popcorn, Cheese - Caramel Mix!
Go to open house at Kristyna's beautiful new condo on Michigan Avenue! She has a great view of Soldier Field where DA Bears play!
Day 2 to come...
