Chicago Getaway

Even though it is so close, I can hardly remember the last time we've been to Chicago just for fun rather than work-related stuff. Thanks to a Travelzoo Top 20 deal, we enjoyed a stay at the Swissotel Chicago at a great rate. The weather was perfect this weekend, as we enjoyed lots of windy city classics...

We walked our legs off taking in all the sights, shopping, etc.! Took what pictures I could with my cellphone, since we forgot our camera...

Fun! I know Dan doesn't miss living in Chicago but it's such a nice place to go for a getaway! Our absolute favorite spot was Buckingham fountain. And I LOVE me some Giordanos or Lou Malnatti's pizza!!! Sounds like you had fun =)
