just catching up on summer adventures! we spent a few days in chicago in july. i had a work event and christian came out a few days later. we had a lot of fun. we ate deep dish pizza and hot dogs. we strolled down the magnificent mile, went on a boat tour, to navy pier, and to peter pan. two of my favorite places in chicago - mr. beef and lou mitchell's. fantastic diners with amazing service!
