Chicago environment

http://www.theonion.com/articles/environmental-study-finds-air-in-chicago-now-75-bu,36407/

Jason and I did hear sirens at ALL hours of the night!

If it weren't "The Onion" I'd totally believe it.

And then they brought a piece of complimentary butter cake

Oh. My. Word.

I can die happily now.

(We've decided we're gonna tell restaurants and hotels we're celebrating an anniversary from here on.... whether we are or not.)

Tenth anniversary dinner

Made Jason do a mirror selfie. :)

Had my first filet in a long time tonight. Cooked perfectly medium. With mac and cheese I'm obsessed with.

Roll me out the door please!

Bought a long sleeved shirt today just in case

I know I'm a wimpy Texan with thin skin, but 60s are cold in shorts.

It feels a lot better today but I don't trust it to stay warm. ;)

The evolving weather

And its effect on my wardrobe and hair. :)
Ya know... the important stuff.

Shorts and straight-ish hair on the Chicago river.... to shorts and a hat at The Bean as walking on the lake front made my hair get bigger and bigger... to jeans and giving into the curl for Second City.

(I left my cap in the room... so like good dorky tourists, we bought Chicago hats.)

Today we're gonna buy a long sleeved shirt. It's way chillier than we expected.

Even our river tour guide was like, "Please come back. Chicago is usually pretty this time of year and it usually doesn't feel like October." :)

Although we can't swim in weather like this, we're kinda loving the cooler temps. I just wish I had packed a little differently.

The view from our room

And an anniversary treat from the hotel.

At Second City...

... ready to watch a comedy sketch.

Got some great pics, but.....

By the time our tour ended, Jason and I wished we had long sleeves (brrr! ) and the fog rolled in. 

Big time!

Life is good

A river cruise and a bloody Mary. :)

Off to Chi-town

Should I call it that while I'm there? I'm sure that's what all the natives say. ;)

Jason and I are getting away this week.

Woo hoo!!

This is only my second time ever at Love Field. It's pretty exciting!  :)

I'm easily impressed.
