Like I said in my previous post, it was ridiculously cold last weekend. I mean, really cold. I like to think I'm a bit tough being a Minnesotan and all, but really, it was freezing. Snot crystals kind of freezing.
For dinner, we returned to the same place we ate at last year - Grand Lux Cafe. If you are ever in Chicago and find yourself wandering around about 600 N Michigan Avenue, do yourself a favor and go eat there because it is AMAZING. The best part about it is that it's on the second story of a building and overlooks Michigan Ave. which is so beautiful this time of year with all of the trees wrapped in white lights. The food and service is also excellent!
After a terrific meal, we made the trek back to the red line at Chicago and State and headed toward the hotel.
Sunday morning, my family left to head for Minnesota and Allison and I scooted back downtown to make a few shopping stops we weren't able to get to on Saturday. We found some great deals (which was eventually counteracted by the over 10% sales tax-yikes!). But we were able to drive by my old apartment and ride the train some more which is probably my favorite thing about Chicago!
Overall, a wonderful weekend. I'm looking forward to the next trip to Chicago when the threat of winter weather is no longer upon us!
