Chicago[dad and i]

dad and i went to Chicago- we were there for a business seminar- basically a restaurant managing seminar-- a lot of good information- it was good to finally be in chicago, even if it was just for 4 days---

i love eating out, i love seeing the different menus, tasting the different foods, feeling the textures in my mouth, smelling the yummy scents-- i love food

we went to four great places to eat, our fist dinner in Chicago= uncle julios; Mexican food. it was good!! i had a chile relleno, chicken taco, and pork burrito... i was stuffed! excellent service, a lot of fun!

dinner the next night was an Italian restaurant, calming to be the oldest in Chicago-- a really nice set up, it was a hoping place! not only was it in the heart of the tallest buildings, it was defiantly a favorite of many! i had a lemon chicken- the sauce it was in was perfect, it had the lemon flavor, but the texture of the sauce had the consistency of an alfredo sauce-- really good---

for lunch the next day we found Panera Bread co. top on my list--- i had a veggie medditrainian sandwich. and of course desert! i had a pineapple upside down bunt cake- YUM, and also a shortbread cookie!!

dinner the last night was in a super cute/quaint town= Glenco, Ill. we ate at Frank and Betsies!!! it was very Italian, i had a chicken breast with portabello mushrooms, and swiss cheese. the sauce was incredible! also a side of steamed veggies, carrots squash and zuchini, and yes, i ate all my veggies! also a small helping of very light and fluffy rice- it was floating in my mouth- it was the best- dad and i ended the meal with chocolate truffles and i took a peice of their famous "no flour chocolate cake" home- what a meal! it was in the perfect area, wonderful weather--- it was great


the weather the whole time was perfect--- not too cold at all, but all the locals said Chicago was an unusual 15 degrees higher than normal--- so it was great--

dad and i had time to visit lake michigan, i even stuck a finger in the mossy lake-- it took some convincing- but dad said i needed to--- we also took a road trip up to Wisconsin! we basically took pictures of the "welcome to Wisconsin" signs and turned around! but it was fun---

anyway it was a lot of fun, we learned some interesting things in our seminar, so yep!!!

someday ill defiantly be living there! there is no stopping me!
