Burger and Ham and Cheese Sandwich |
Brought home dessert |
We headed downtown that night to grab some real Chicago pizza at Pizzeria Uno.
Numero Uno minus mushrooms on one side- I still don't care for mushrooms |
SUPER excited!!! |
I've been DYING to try Gibson's steakhouse since I moved. We went there for lunch on Sunday which was perfect. It was just as delicious as I expected. It was definitely my favorite from the weekend.

Despite the size, Diana managed to finish the ENTIRE creme brulee. I helped with a few spoonfuls but she took on the majority. I was quite impressed. If you love creme brulee I guarantee you have never had any that is this good.
We were quite full and tired after lunch and accidentally passed out when we got home. As soon as she woke up she was ready to eat again. I took her to Portillo's which is famous for hot dogs and Italian beef. Diana had a true Chicago dog...and then wanted custard.
I couldn't let her eat alone :)
The original Italian Beef was created at Al's in little Italy. Another thing to check off!
Don't worry, we split it and it was delicious! |
The snow started to come down right as we were leaving Al's. So we headed to Navy Pier. It was cold and SUPER windy. They don't call it the Windy City for nothing. Despite the cold, we went all the way to the end of the pier to look at the frozen Lake Michigan and play in the snow.
It was sooo cold outside and we didn't have much time left before heading to the airport so we stopped into the Museum of Science and Industry. I have a membership and their OMNIMAX movies really are cool. It's a 5 story domed screen. Definitely a neat experience.
We goofed around for a little bit but the snow was coming down really hard and we decided that the best thing to do was to head to the airport. It's about a 30-45 min drive from downtown and it took us 2 hours!! Horrible driving conditions but we made it. Her flight was then delayed like 5 hours. I'm so happy that she came and we had such a blast!!! I was able to check off so many things that I've been wanting to do and had some awesome company! I couldn't have asked for a better weekend!
