I tagged along last week when Allen took his staff to a work convention in Chicago. The kids had their own vacation staying at their grandparents houses. We were just in time to enjoy the tulips on Michigan Avenue.
We went to the Field Museum and saw Sue-the largest, most intact tyrannosaurus rex. Across the street was Soldier Field.
One night we went down to Navy Pier and watched the opening night of a small musical, "Murder for Two". It was a who-done-it comedy with only two actors. It was hilarious.
And of course, we ate. A lot. Chicago pizza was good (we sent this picture to our kids, they were impressed) but our favorite meal was at a place called Girl and the Goat. The "girl" recently won "Top Chef" on the Food Network and this is the restaurant she opened. Can you say YUMMY? It was amazing. My taste buds are still talking about it.
The best part of the trip was having some one on one time with Allen. He is the best. If I was sent to a deserted island, the one thing I would bring would be Allen.

Oh, Julie, I love the tulip pix and your jacket matches perfectly! That's a magazine cover if there ever was one.
We loved having your kids here for some of the time you were gone.
Isn't it great being married to your best friend?!
I think I need some Chicago pizza.
did you see mom's last post? tulip war!
sounds fun. is there by chance among the toppings of that pizza a fried egg?
Mmm, Chicago looks delicious!
Hmmm... thanks for the restaurant tips!
I agree Julie--you look like you should be on the cover of some cool magazine with that shot. And Allen could be on the cover of...Field and Stream?
