spent this last weekend in the windy city. took the train down for a day trip. it was a pretty good time considering nothing other than the trip itself was planned or choreographed. we just got off the train and started walking around, taking pics and acting like total tourists lol. eventually we ended up walking from union station all the way to water tower mall. we weren’t being cheap, we were just having a great time walking, talking , and sight seeing. It had been about 7-8 years since i’d been to chicago, and she hadn’t been since high school so it was a cool experience for both of us. stopped and ate at this spot called Elephant & Castle. it was european style cuisine. i was torn between the yorkshire pudding, the shepherds pie, and the bangers & mashed. the waiter talked me into the yorkshire pudding. totally perfect choice. our waiter was the best also. total professional. after all of that walking we were too tired to walk back to union station so we took a cab. interesting and slightly terrifying experience! but we made it back home safe and sound. now i’m planning on taking my mother after the holidaze.
