Chicago: An introduction



So, yesterday my love and I headed off to Chicago. Originally, the intention of the trip was for a Girlyman concert at The Old Town School of Folk Music, but it ended up being SO MUCH more! There is so much for me to write about that I am going to write a few blogs. Lots of material here people. A few of the topics that will be covered in future blogs: our swanky 4-star hotel, riding The L, our tour of the city, my stellar review of the concert, and plenty more things to give you a giggle.

So stay tuned and as soon as I get all of my pictures uploaded, the writing will commence. For now, all you get is a picture of us being in love on our tour of the city.

Gman in Chi-town!!!

This coming Friday, my love and I are heading to Chicago to see the (not yet so) famous Girlyman. If you have never been blessed with the intoxicating sounds of this trio, you are missing out! Go to www.girlyman.com and explore all they have to offer. If ever you have the chance to see them live, you will be in for a REAL TREAT. They somehow seem to captivate the audience to a point of pure bliss. It's incredible and unlike any other live show you will ever see. More on that, post-show.

We knew that driving back after the show was unreasonable (Chicago -----> Indy= 2.5 hours), so we have been STALKING priceline.com for a decent hotel. This morning was our lucky day. We ended up getting a FOUR STAR hotel (Hilton) for a third of the regular rate. This is our chance so rub elbows (literally) with the rich and famous.

I think there are going to be some other entertainment-type adventures whilst on our little getaway. Maybe a museum or two, we'll see. Regardless, we get to escape Indy and be in love in another city. I can't wait.
