The Sweaty City
/One day of our recent vacation was spent in Chicago. We both love Chicago. The architecture, the food, the shopping…what’s not to love?…
I want to move to Chicago for one month. I’m sure I’d miss my cornfields after that…and have $0 left to my name. Why?…..the food…and the shopping….at least observing the architecture is free…
I talked Nate into stopping at the multiple stories of wonderfulness that is the Crate and Barrel on Michigan Ave. He willingly obliged…because they had air conditioning and it was 1 billion degrees outside…and he made the stipulation that whatever I bought…I had to carry home on the train…
He had fun. I swear.
I loved this Lyle Side Chair…for our kitchen eating area…with the District Dining Table. Nate liked the added benefit of fart holes in the seat. This is when I began to laugh hysterically and a saleswoman came to kick us out of the store see if we needed assistance. The heat was definitely getting to us. Needless to say, we went home empty handed.
We also made the rounds to some of our favorite touristy spots in the city…
The Field Museum…
The Field Museum is packed full of information…like the evolution of my awesome posture…
The Cloud Gate…
The spitting faces…
And Buckingham Fountain…
We are thinking about heading back later this fall to further enjoy the wonderfulness that is Chicago….minus the profuse sweating…
Have you been to Chicago? What’s your favorite restaurant? tourist trap? museum? etc.
And for you non-Chicago fans…what are you loving at Crate and Barrel these days?
