Chicago Trip

I took a solo trip to Chicago to meet up with Donnie and a couple of college friends (Jason and Jake).

Donnie picked me up from the airport!  We are pretty excited!!!!  

 We had dinner on the 95th floor of the Hancock building!  What a beautiful view!

Earlier in the day, we headed to the observatory in the Hancock building!  Spectacular!

 A view of the Hancock building from ground level

                                                    We took the train out to Wrigley field.

                                           

 On Friday night, we cruised around downtown and checked out the giant bean!

 The boys even convinced me to try some sushi!


 Tailgating!

The big event...at the game.  It was a beautiful sunny day!

                            I met up with some friends after the Bears game.  Amber and Kamie!

 The pillars!

 Giving the pillar a kiss!
