A few months ago, Jon and I had a weekend getaway to C H I C A G O !! “Hey Chicago, what do you say?  The Cubs are gonna win today!” …we love that song! =) While in that awesome city of architectural goodness, gangsters, and deep dish pie, we got to see The Bean & the spitting fountains at Millennium Park, the Cubs beat the Cards to win the National League Central (!), the Magnificent Mile, and the GREAT Lake Michigan. We ate the best tasting pizza ever: Giordano’s was yum-O! Here are some fun images from the trip… Enjoy. =)

  • Jim and Jerl Dean

    Awesome…Love these pictures.

  • Thanks, Claire! We did have a blast; Chicago is such a neat place. :) Hey Erica, the Bean is one of my most fave creations, too! I think it will be okay that you’re not allowed to like the Cubs… we can still be friends. :)

  • oh, chicago. i love everything about that city. i can almost taste giordano’s. and the bean is one of my most favorite creations ever. :) sorry, though, i’m not allowed to like the cubs — i married into a die-hard cardinals family. :)

  • what a vibrant, fun set!
    i love the shot from the airport.
    looks like you guys had a blast!!

  • We want to go back, too! There’s so much more to see. Thanks, Brig!! Jon and I really want that pizza again… did you know they will ship it on dry ice to you?? We’re thinking about ordering it sometime. yum :)

  • Awesome pics!!! I ♥ Chicago! My dad is a die-hard Cubbie fan…well, anything Chicago…Bulls, Bears, Cubs. I’m thinking Jon (my Jon…Heckathorn) and I need to take a trip to Chi-town just for that pizza!!!
