My kind of town, Chicago

So this is what Chicago looked like the last time I was there in the winter, it was Christmas 2005.  They got a ridiculous amount of snow and the whole city was paralyzed for days, I vowed never to go back in the winter.  But, here I go.   The draw of 4 days in the city with NO kids is even stronger than the scare of 2 feet of snow.  I mean really, what are the chances? I better check the weather report, be right back...CRAP! it's calling for snow.  Still, Chicago with just me and my hubby, it's worth it. Hubby will be working two of the four days so I am on my own. The Art Institute and shopping in Buck town are calling my name plus lunch with a dear old high school friend that I have not seen in years.  And, of course, drinks and dancing at the Green Mill.  On top of all this, we get to spend a couple of days in Wisconsin with my in-laws.  Our timing couldn't be better, the Packers are playing the Bears in some playoff game so my husband is thrilled to be able to share this with his family.  It will be ugly if the Packers don't win but we must have faith. A football fan I am not, being from Detroit, hockey is my sport. "Let's go, Red Wings".
