Chicago

The last part of spring break (Mar. 20-23) Matt and I went on a little vacation with our friends, Nate and Megan. It was a blast! The weather could have been better, though. The one full day we spent in Chicago, it snowed! (I like to think that's why I look like a drowned rat in most of the pictures.) We'll have to go back when the weather's nicer, and when we have money.

IN CHICAGO WE:

• Walked around Navy Pier


• Ate famous delicious deep dish pizza at Giordano's



• Shopped for Matt's birthday on Michigan Avenue


• Got free chocolate samples from the Ghirardelli's chocolate store so many times that the employees said, "Welcome back. You can have a chocolate if you want."


• Dined in China Town for dinner


• Downed dessert at a popular 50's diner, Ed Debevics--our server announced that we were the cheapest people in Chicago (since we only got dessert, and Matt and I shared).



• Laughed like crazy through Blue Man Group (Except I fell asleep for a few minutes…it was so late!)
  

• Were spoiled at our friend's parents' home (Liz and her family are so nice! We got mints on our pillows and treated to an enormous breakfast.)

THEN WE DROVE TO DUBUQUE, IOWA TO VISIT OUR OTHER FRIEND, ZACK, AND WE:

• Ate yummy pizza, again


• Took a driving tour of beautiful Dubuque


• Ate Easter dinner at Zack's (Overall, there was a LOT of eating on this trip!)
