Chicago!

We had such a fun trip to Chicago over MEA weekend!  It all started with me wanting to take the new Amtrak Borealis train route from Saint Paul to Chicago.  So, I booked our tickets, and the rest of the trip fell into place.  We stayed right downtown Chicago and walked everywhere.  We only had two full days, but we managed to fit a lot in.  Our weekend was full of museums, sightseeing, a boat ride, and lots of bagels and deep-dish pizza!  To top it all off, we had the most beautiful weather.
