Adventures in the Windy City


























Ah, Chicago.

We loved you for your doughnuts and coffee.
We loved you for your churches and community.
We loved you for your skyline and tall, tall buildings. 
We loved you for your incredible Chinese and Italian food.
We loved you for your people watching.
We loved you for Cloud Gate/The Bean.
We loved you for your friendly metro workers.
We loved you for your fancy fall colors.
We loved you because there's still so much more to go do/see, which means we'll be baaaack ;) 

Things we learned: 
Deep dish is indeed, all it is cracked up to be. I dream about that pizza.
You absolutely must get an ice cream doughnut sandwich at Firecakes Doughnuts and a Nutella pocket at Stan's Doughnuts.
Metro workers are much more helpful/nice than in New York City. 
Cannolis are NOT as good as good as any we found in New York City (work on that, Chicago, mmkay?). BUT. Eataly is a place of Italian food heaven.
Fatso's Last Stand is where you can find an amazing dog (make sure to get a lot of napkins because it gets everywhere).
The John Hancock Tower is just as high, with shorter lines than the Wilson Tower. And they have The Tilt.
China Town. Yes.
Airbnb for the win! (Although you might want to check the neighborhood for crime prior to your commitment). 



Have you been to Chicago? Did we miss a must-see?
