Saturday AM...Cori & I left home at 5 AM headed for DFW. At 6 AM, we arrived at Kristy's house to meet Kacy. We picked her up & headed for our gates. Kacy & I had an 8:25 flight. Cori had worked out going with us at the last minute,so she was on an 8:50 flight & had to stop in St. Louis for a few hours.
Kacy & I arrived about 10:30, so we got to our hotel & got checked in. We walked around in search of a bookstore to buy a new Chicago book because, apparently, I lost mine in the airport in Dallas. We walked and walked and walked...only to find a Books-a-Million about a block and a half from our hotel. While we were out walking, we were reminded that Chicago is the WINDY CITY!! We then went to Giodarno's and had a pizza while we waited for Cori. It was YUMMY!!
We stayed at the JW Marriott Hotel on Adams Street in the financial district.
We walked down the river walk to the Bridge House Tavern and ate dinner. The highlight was the sweet jalapeño popcorn.

Saturday afternoon, after Cori arrived, we went to the Magnificent Mile on Michigan Avenue and shopped. I realized after just a few minutes that I was traveling with two SHOPPERS!!

After dinner, we walked back to the hotel and thought we would call it a night. Down the hall a few doors, a party started up about the time the bar closed. It was so loud that Kacy went downstairs to complain. Security came up and quieted it down once. After about 15 minutes, it started up again. I called the front desk and they sent security again. This time we could hear them be threatened with being kicked out if it got loud again. That worked and by 4:45 AM, we were able to go to sleep. Needless to say, we slept in Sunday AM.
