Way back in May, Bart and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary by taking a trip to Chicago. We spent part of our Honeymoon in Chicago, so it was only fitting that we should go back 15 years later. Here are some of the highlights of our trip:
We went on a really awesome architectural boat tour on the river. It was so neat seeing all the awesome buildings and learning some of the history of Chicago.
We had to make a stop to see The Bean, of course. We actually rented bikes and rode all around seeing some of the awesome sites of the city, and it ended up being a great way to be a tourist!
Just walking around the city is fun, especially when we were out walking around at night. It was so quiet and felt totally different from the bustling city it is during the day!
We saw Blue Man Group, which honestly was a little disappointing. Maybe it was because we saw a matinee filled with middle school field trip groups, but we left feeling a little let down.
We walked around Lincoln park, including the zoo, and seeing several statues of Lincoln himself.
One of my favorite parts of the trip was seeing Hamilton! We were going to get tickets, and then we weren't, and then literally a few hours before the show, we decided we absolutely had to. And I'm so glad we did. It lived up to the hype!
The last day we were there, we went up into the Willis Tower and out onto the Skydeck on the 103rd floor, 1,353 feet up above the city! It was AWESOME!
Bart was not as big of a fan as I was, and he definitely didn't approve of my jumping up and down out on the Skydeck platform :)
And of course, I had to post a picture of the delicious cupcakes we had at Molly's cupcakes, not once, but twice while we were there!
I can't believe we've been married for 15 years! I feel like the luckiest girl on the planet!
