Chicago For A Day Of Fun

We are so happy to be back in good old Houston, but its nice to travel with friends and visit old places. Our friends Heidi and Garett asked us if we would like to go to Chicago for the day with them? Of course we accepted, how many people can say they flew to Chicago for lunch.... and also to go with such good friends!!

We woke up really early on a Saturday morning and we all drove to the airport, early but worth it. I had been dreaming and craving the deep dish Chicago pizza all week and could not wait to get it in my tummy!!! By looking at the picture below you could say we were pretty tired, I have no idea how Heidi and Garett and there baby Zoey where all wide awake the entire time!!!

We got to Chicago and hopped on the metro train that took us downtown, we were starving by then and went strait for the pizza. When we got there we already had our pizzas ordered but we had to wait for a table. Everyone decided that the safest place for the pizzas where in the lap of the HUNGRY pregnant woman..... needless to say I kept them safe until we got a table to sit!! We ordered 4 pizzas and I swear, with all 4 on my lap it felt like 35 lbs!!!!! We ate and ate until our bellies where VERY full and we were stuffed to the rim. Each of us really could only eat about 3 pieces of pizza, so we had to carry the left over boxes home! We ended up taking Zoey out of the stroller and putting the precious pizzas in her place. ( Zoey was a little lighter than the pizzas and not so awkward to hold)

We went to the famous Chicago Bean and walked by the beautiful lake Superior. With a little rain in the morning, It turned out to be such a beautiful day! It was so fun to spend the day with such good friends and to be in such a fun city. When we were making our way back home, we must have had 100 + people ask us about our pizza boxes we were carrying through security. We even had some people ask if they could buy them off of us!!! We came to Chicago for Pizza and I'm bring some home with me... its not for sale !!! By the end of the day Jonny and baby and I were exhausted, but were so happy we were able to have the opportunity to go with our friends the Porters! Its always the best when you can go on fun adventures with friends.
