Long time no blog post... and to think I said I was going to write more.
There are no excuses, just that I need to be more efficient with my
free time. Anywho, I'm going focus on getting caught up this week so be
prepared for a few recaps :)
First up is our trip to Chicago. We went to the Windy City with
NINE
of our friends for the Kings of Leon concert. The concert was on a
Saturday night so we decided to make a weekend trip out of it. We
boarded the Amtrak train at 7:15pm on Friday night expecting to have a
great time and to get our drink on. That didn't quite happen and here is
why-
1. The train was PACKED meaning we couldn't all sit together
2. Some passengers were complete party poopers {but refused to move to the quite car}
and best of all...
3. My husband started violently throwing up about half-way into the ride
At first we thought he was suffering from motion sickness, but that was
odd considering he didn't get sick once on our honeymoon cruise. So then
we thought it was food poisoning, but he had eaten the same food as I
had that day. Either way the poor guy was completely miserable and SO
disappointed. He'd been SO excited for this trip. We made it to our
hotel without any trouble {La Quinta Inn Downtown- HIGHLY recommend this
hotel!}, but the rest of the night was a complete bust :(
Saturday morning T still didn't feel great, but was feeling better so we
braved it and ventured over to Shedd Aquarium. NEVER make the mistake
we did and not reserve your tickets ahead of time- we stood in line
outside in
20 degree temps for roughly 1.5 hours!!! It was brutal and
made the overall experience less enjoyable, but we still had a decent
time. After the aquarium we headed to Giordano's for some deep dish
pizza. It was delicious, but so filling!
