For our 2 year anniversary Ryan and I knew we wanted to take a trip. We hadn't been on vacation just the two of us since our honeymoon and wanted to get out of town together for a bit. So we decided to go to CHICAGO! We had the most amazing time! Chicago is such a fun city! I didn't realize before we went that it's the 3rd largest city in the U.S., next to NY and LA. Well anyway, when we landed Thursday morning we took the train downtown to the Loop to our hotel. We LOVED our hotel! It's called The Wit and it's a boutique hotel, which are sometimes described as intimate, usually luxurious or quirky hotel environments. It was decorated beautifully and was close to EVERYTHING. It had 3 restaurants, one being a rooftop bar where we went to stare at the beautiful city views and have a cocktail each night before we went out . The first day we just walked around exploring and of course ate pizza! We didn't even check in to our hotel yet before we sat down at Giordano's to have a slice of famous Chicago deep dish pizza. It was sooooo good! That night we went to see the Blue Man Group and sat front row!! We were in the poncho section :)! It was so fun and probably one of my many favorite parts to our trip.
Here are some photos from Day 1:

Our AMAZING view from our hotel room!
What we woke up to every morning
The pretty but unused tub... too much to do to take a bath!
Ryan was very happy about this 42"
Did I mention the hotel held up our check in? How could we complain when they give us 4 $25 vouchers to use at any of the three restaurants in the hotel! Oh yeah, and the bell boy slipped Ryan a little bottle of whiskey too :)
Yummy french fry snack with ketchup and basil aioli and a delightful martini
Loving Chicago already
