We talked about what we wanted to do to celebrate for awhile. We both thought a trip to Chicago for the weekend sounded perfect.
After arriving in Chicago on Friday afternoon and getting settled in, we stopped for a bite to eat at Portillo's and then walked to Navy Pier. There was so much to do there. They even put on a fireworks show at night. I loved being by the water.....

As soon as we got to Navy Pier, we headed to go for a ride on the Ferris Wheel...

On Saturday afternoon, I met up with my blog buddy Carla and her cutie daughter Kendall for a Chicago Deep Dish Pizza lunch and some scrapbook shopping. It was so nice to meet up. She is super sweet. You can read all about our visit HERE on Carla's blog. THANK YOU Carla for hosting the day and taking pictures!
When I got home from my trip with Carla, Ted and I wanted to try a restaurant that was just around the corner. Weber Grill had the BEST steak.
After dinner we went to Michigan Ave. to do a little shopping. A few streets over, we stumbled upon the Hershey Store. Oh my. It was so cool...
When we got back to the hotel, I broke out my new Slice (that I bought from Carla) and started playing while Ted watched the last few laps of the Nascar race. :) 
We stopped at Lou Mitchell's (one of Dawn's suggestions) for breakfast before going to the Brown Elephant for some vintage/antique shopping and then heading home on Sunday. It was SO good! Their not kidding when they say it is the best breakfast in the world. :) Ted and I really enjoyed the vintage, diner-like atmosphere.
The trip was fantastic minus the traffic. lol It was so nice that Ted and I got to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and just spend some time together. I can't wait to go back!I'll be back soon with some creative shares. Thanks for stopping by!
