On Friday, June 28, Kyhle called on his way home from work and said, "Pack your bag! I am taking you to Chicago for the weekend!" Boy, did he catch me by surprise! He came home, we booked the hotel, and headed out an hour later. We first drove to Terre Haute and stayed the night at his mom's house where we left the dogs for the weekend. We left early Saturday morning for Chicago. We had such a perfect weekend! It was the weekend before my birthday and our third anniversary, so we made it an anniversary present to each other.
Unfortunately, we packed for 80 degree summer weather, and were not expecting 50 degrees!! We had to go buy new sweatshirts just to be able to enjoy walking the city at night time. I don't know what I was thinking not bringing sweatshirts to the windy city! I was also a dodo and wore cute shoes instead of being smart and wearing tennis shoes. Again...what was I thinking?! Despite my aching feet and cold legs, we enjoyed walking around and Kyhle loved really seeing the city for the first time. We ate a yummy dinner at Girodano's pizza, and then went over to Navy Pier. That was the best part! We got to do two boat rides! The first was a twilight special so it was really cheap. It was a 30 minute ride out into Lake Michigan to get a gorgeous view of the skyline at night. It was perfect timing being right at sunset. We wanted to ride the ferris wheel, but it was too windy, so they shut it down while we were there. We then decided to splurge a little (anniversary, remember?) and we went on another boat ride for an hour during the fireworks show! It was such a blast! We rode a large speed boat, and got soaked, but it was so worth it!
Thank you for such a fun trip, Kyhle! I love you so much!
