Chicago Girls Trip

On top of the Hancock building. We were told by a man selling boat rides that the ladies restroom had the best view of the city. He was right!

Krissy kept giving us a hard time because we were always on our phones. We voted and decided Mel was the worst, either Cynthia or I was second (I can't remember), and Krissy did the best job of abstaining. It is pretty pitiful.

We bought these ridiculous flowers and wore them in our hair one night.

Walking along Navy Pier

Pizza at Gino's East!

We are showing our age by having a 'wheatgrass shot' instead of a real one. Krissy insisted it would help my stomach issues. It really just made me sick!

Once again, Krissy, Cynthia, Melissa, and I had a fabulous laughter filled girls trip. This time we went to Chicago. We owe it all to Cynthia who told us that she would get new college friends if we didn't plan something, We basically ate, shopped, laughed, ate, shopped, laughed. I would have loved to hit the museums, but of course I was the only one! We did go on the architectural boat ride and since I know absolutely nothing about architecture, I promptly forgot everything that was said the second we stepped off the boat.

We stayed at the Westin on Michigan Ave and during our first night there someone tried to break into our hotel room. The person managed to break into the room next to us as we were awakened at 4:00 am to a scuffle in the hall. We immediately called the front desk and they sent security up. We listened at the door without opening it as a woman gave a desciption of the man who broke into her room. A little unsettling to say the least and it took us a while to fall back asleep. The next evening we happened to meet the women staying next to us whose room was broken into. We got the whole story from them as to what happened and they assured us not to worry as we should feel very safe since they are abortion providers and there are ATF agents on our floor!!! Ahhh....yes....we feel so much safer now knowing our hotel could be bombed!! The next morning we found ourselves on the elevator with the ATF agents and bomb sniffing dogs. GREAT! And then Krissy and Cynthia had what they considered a near death experience on the subway going to the airport. Luckily, they warned Mel and I to take a cab, which we did! We had a blast and I already can't wait for the next one!!
