The Windy City

Wow how time flies.....it has been 2 weeks since my last blog entry.  We were just in Chicago last week......I do love that city.  We got to stay at the new Trump International Hotel and Towers it was a great hotel and wonderful service.  The drive down gave us a taste of what is to come weatherwise.....rain, hail and then sleet....we also saw a horrible accident involving many cars thank goodness not us. 

Trump is the small tower in the middle of this picture LOL!

Our room was beautiful......


The first night we got to eat dinner at Smith and Wollensky.......great seafood and awesome steak.......upscale business attire.

The next night we got to eat at Dika's in downtown Chicago (I guess there is more then one) as you would suspect the place is loaded with memoribilia of Mike Ditka and the Bears and he is always there greeting patrons it was really fun and great food.


Of course there was a little shopping by little ole me while Mark was in meetings and I bought a few things.  While shopping at Nordstrom's I ran into a good friend and her daughter from home which was fun....it is a small world when you can go to another city and state and run into friends.  It's great to have a world class city like Chicago so close by.
