Buckingham fountain - on our way to Soldier Field
The reflecting bean in Millenium park - is this thing amazing or what???
At Hotel Monaco, you get to request a goldfish for your room if you so desire, so of course I did. He was the perfect pet for the weekend, did not make a peep, need to be let out, or chew up any of my shoes! I though that the kids would love this
Navy Pier on a gorgeus Saturday afternoon walk that we took down Lake shore Drive.
Well, Doug finally got to enjoy the birthday present that I gave him back in April.....tickets for the U2 360 tour in Chicago. We headed out of town on Friday and stayed in Lombard that night at a gorgeous Westin. It was wonderful. Had a very yummy meal at Maggiano's and an even more yummy martini before dinner (-: Saturday am, headed downtown to our hotel for that night. We got checked into Hotel Monaco and then hit the streets. I just love the business and excitement of that city.....sightseeing, people watching, etc.,.,it's all fabulous!! It was a beautiful day and we really enjoyed ourselves. That night, we decided to walk to Soldier Field for the concert, with the other 80,000 fans. What an amazing sight when the sidewalks all came together about 4 blocks from the stadium. Snow patrol opened for them and then U2 took the stage around 8:30. It was a great concert, a beautiful night, and I couldn't have had a better time! I do think that Doug enjoyed himself too, but I did remind him that his birthday is now officially over - (-: Sunday morning we headed out to Willow Creek church in South Barrington, IL. That place is amazing and I would highly recommend it to everyone if you are ever in the area. It reminded us so much of Hope!
Ben and Kate were very blessed to have been able to spend the entire weekend with Papa and Nanny Suhr. They all kept each other entertained and created many new memories - thanks again! We love you both!!
After Meals for the Heartland that Monday, we took the kids out for lunch and stumbled upon some free I-cubs tickets....thanks Spaghetti works!
