Chicago

The cowboy and I had a quick {but fun} trip to Chi town this past week
{We even walked passed Magic Johnson...and exchanged phone numbers....one of those statements are true}

Who wouldn't want to travel with this guy?
A view of the city
Heading into my 'Disneyland,' The Field museum.

The worlds largest and most well preserved T Rex....Sue.

A cute guy and Sue.

A journey to Egypt....complete with {of one many} mummies.

Deciphering a few hieroglyphics

Checking out the mosaics.

A walk along the pier
A beautiful view

Our last night.

A good meal.

A good time.

Thankful.

I give you Chicago. It is not London and Harvard. It is not Paris and buttermilk. It is American in every chitling and sparerib. It is alive from snout to tail.

I LOVE Chicago! I'm so sad we don't live close enough to make it a reasonable occasional trip anymore! Glad you got to get away for a bit!

Was the rivers still green when you arrived? Fantastic to see you were in short sleeves! Tai
