I have not spent any time in Chicago so off we went. We were total tourist and it was great: a riverboat tour of Chicago's architecture, a trip to the top of the Sears building and onto "the ledge", a Cub's game, Navy Pier, the Field museum, and drinks at the top of the Hancock so we could see Navy Pier's fireworks from above.
We ate great! Heaven on 7 is a wonderful Cajun restaurant. They had the best shrimp poorboy, wonderful jalapeno muffins, and the largest spoon for your gumbo that we have ever seen (see pic, explains the spoon). Shaw's seafood had the best lobster bisque that I have EVER had. We ate lunch at Goose Island across from Wrigley Field and found a new favorite beer. Budweiser just bought it so hopefully we will be seeing Goose Island down here soon. Our last night we ate at A Girl and A Goat. We have had reservations for 4 months and still had to eat at 5:15. The chef Stephanie, was a winner of Top Chef.
We had a great time but missed the boys.
