Chicago








drew and I went to Chicago over the summer to visit some friends, it was my first time to the beautiful Midwest city and it was awesome! we had so much fun; we visited the art institute which was absolutely amazing!





        I was able to see some of the most famous paintings in the world...


                                        van gogh, self portrait 1887


Edward Hooper, nighthawks 1942


grant wood, American Gothic 1930

The museums were amazing but the city as a whole was really cool, The old buildings were so awesome, and so was the above ground train! (I'm from a small town in Nevada. we barely had paved roads)



we went to a bar on the 96th! floor of then john Hancock building where we had a 20 dollar cocktail and stunning views!






the view from the ladies room is said to be the best...









and of course....we ate...disgusting amounts of food. it was fabulous











this is a blurry picture of of dinner at mado (best meal ever) drew ate a cow heart, i had a whole trout, every thing was local and organic. it was an amazing four course meal.




luckily Jill works there so we got a major discount, thanks mado you rule!
