I woke up this morning around 8:30am to get ready for our first full day in Chicago! How exciting?! :)
Gage and I left our hotel around 10:30am, went to Starbucks so I could get a Refresher- naturally-, and then we waited for the bus to arrive to take us to the Lincoln Park Zoo! Now, I don't know about you, but I am not a public transportation kind of girl by ANY means, but I had no choice this weekend but to suck it up and ride the buses and the trains. Ugh. I was such a big girl! I didn't complain once, and Gage even told me he was proud of me! :) haha
After the zoo, we went to Grant Park and Millenium Park, where I got to see the Amphitheater, the Bean, and a little bit of the art museum that is there. I was most excited for the Bean, which Gage and I obviously got a picture with! lol I'm such a girl. :)
After all of that walking around, we went to lunch at Noodles and Company, and then headed back to our hotel. The plan was to just chill there for an hour or so, but we ended up falling asleep for THREE HOURS! I guess we were real tired! lol
Once we woke up, we fixed ourselves up again and got on the train to go out to Gage's first school he went to for college, and I got to see his old fraternity house and meet one of his friends. Then we went to a pizzeria, Giordanos, for dinner around 8pm, but it was so busy there still that we decided to get food to go. While we waited for our food, Gage and I walked to a nearby Starbucks, where I convinced Gage to get something to drink, and guess what? HE ACTUALLY LIKED IT!!! HALLELUJAH PRAISE THE LORD! hahahaha :) It was such a magical moment in our relationship! ;)
The food we ate for dinner was delicious! After we ate in our room, we passed out for the night. It was a long day!
