We found a back alley in between some stores and took a few pictures. I am really not pissed in this picture…hehehe He told me to have a serious face…I guess my serious face looks kind of mad. LOL

Union Station where we first arrived. We then had to take a taxi to our hotel….I seriously thought we were going to get into an accident. I was really scared. LOL They drive like mainiacs(sp?). We survived the taxi ride…thank goodness.

I love these Brownstones….they are the coolest houses.

Just a view from downtown. I loved all the tall buildings.

I also realized that chicago is a HUGE city. And I realized that I am so not a city kind of girl….well not a big city like this. Growing up we used to live North of Chicago in Great Lakes when my father was in the Navy. I don’t recall ever going to chicago growing up…but myabe I did. It is really overwhelming, rich, snobby and expensive. What did I expect tho…hahahaha We did alot of walking around the town tho…that was alot of fun. We went in several stores…and just laughed at prices. I was shocked at the mark up value of their clothing. Crazy I tell ya? Who would pay such prices…LOL Just shows I am not a ‘BIG’ city gal. I like the size of Grand Rapids….big enough for me.

This is the Original Pancake house…we went here for breakfast on Sunday morning. There was a HUGE line when we got there at like 9am. It was the most popular place to eat. We didn’t have to wait too long in line…maybe 30 minutes. You can see Josh sitting down by the door..hehehe
