Chicago...the best city ever!

Friday was my day off (every other Friday I have off!!!!) so, after working out, I decided I was going to go to the City and pretend to be a tourist for the day. I actually do it a few times a year, and it is always such a fun day for me. I like to go alone- that way I don’t have to worry about what anyone else wants to do- it’s all about me.

I went up to the Hancock Observation Deck and took lots of fun pictures, walked around a lot, got the yummiest Intense Dark Mint Sundae from Ghirardelli Chocolate. I was randomly walking and I found the “Regale Beagle (anyone who watched Three’s Company knows what I’m talking about). I went inside because I was curious…the actual bar did look like the one on the show, but everything else was sort of a disappointment. I thought I was going to walk into the 70s, but I did not get that feeling. It was cool though…it could just use some improvements!

For lunch I went to Pierrot Gourment, it is a little café that is attached to the Peninsula Hotel. The food was delicious!! I had a cup of Shrimp Corn Chowder- by far the best soup that I have ever had. I was so impressed. My meal was this French flat bread with pesto, onions, and shrimp. Also very scrumptious! It was the best $30 lunch (without alcohol) that I have ever had.

Can you find the buiding that looks like a flask?
