Chicago 2012!

Last year we had a fun photo shoot up near Chicago, we stayed at The Wit Hotel in the heart of downtown and we had a great time! After shooting 7 (yes, SEVEN!) weddings in June this year, we were ready for a mini vacay but we didn’t have a ton of time available in between weekend shoots! We were thankful for a 4 day/3 night mini getaway in July which allowed us to take a little break and go play for a few days! 🙂 Even though it wasn’t a long vacation, I wanted to do it up right ~ so I upgraded us to a nice suite at The Wit & called up Sprinkles cupcakes and had them deliver cupcakes to our suite before our arrival. 😉 John was so surprised, he loved it! We enjoyed vegging out with Gino’s East pizza on the first night then we went to Water Tower shops and the Skydeck Ledge on the 2nd day. (And no, it wasn’t as scary as it looks!) We came back after a long day of shopping & sightseeing and found a plate of chocolate covered strawberries and a bottle of champagne waiting for us in our room (from my dad, step-mom & sisters) which was so sweet!! The next day we conquered the Shedd Aquarium! They had a very cool jelly fish exhibit going on and I realized how much I ADORE otters!! All in all, it was a great mini trip and I hope to do something fun like that with my hubby again soon!!!
