Chicago

Some old pictures from our trip to Chicago. I love Chicago. Not so much my husband. He hates the traffic. My mom resides in downtown Chicago, a condo across from Gibson Steak House. I love this restaurant and Jeff loves their martini. They invented the Gibson martini (with pearl onions instead of olives). Many famous people have come here and yet they treat average Joe and Jane like us -- who came with shorts and t-shirts with no reservation, showed up at 10 pm, slightly intoxicated -- as they would treat Liz Taylor.

Something that I would highly suggest when visiting Chicago is to purchase the City Pass. I can't tell you how beneficial this purchase was. Although there may not be a huge difference in money savings it was a tremendous time saver. The city pass makes us feel like a VIP. Every single tourist attraction that we visited, we were able to skip the long line that would've taken us hours to wait which could've been spent on sightseeing.

We ate at Dock Street Cafe, one of the restaurants along Navy Pier. Here's father and son trying to decide what to eat for supper.
