We love Chicago. The husband and I went to college just south of the city and we have had some great days exploring the city, at all times of the year. Christmas? Love it! Summer? Nothing better than laying on a blanket in the grass at Millennium Park downtown. Now we have never gotten lost before, but there have been times we have accidentally taken the longest route possible. We always just called it an adventure.
"Adventures" are less fun when you have a 10 month old and it is a misty 35 degrees. We didn't realize it was going to be so cold! It's almost May for goodness sakes! We had just been about 40ish miles south and it was 30 degrees warmer and not nearly as windy. So here we are with Norah and her stroller making our way from Michigan Ave. to Navy Pier. Half way there we realize it was a terrible idea and once we got there we decided abort the Navy Pier plan - which meant we were hiking our way back the other way... all the while having a grumpy child who was getting annoyed with having to be bundled up. After trucking Norah, the stroller, our overnight bags (3 of them) and ourselves over 3 miles we found ourselves in a very busy and loud cafe and I'm sure we got plenty of interesting looks.
We're pretty cool. I'm not so sure Norah agrees :)
We still love Chicago, but that we have a kid I think we have to learn to stick with a plan.
