a midwest spring break



so rich and i have are loving being out in pittsburgh because so many great places to visit are within driving distance to us. for rich's spring break this year we decided to go out to chicago. i had never been before (besides the airport) and we thought it would be nice to drive through elkhart indiana to see where rich went to high school and everything too. my parents so graciously let us use one of their weeks so we got to stay in a nice condo (bigger than our apartment i'm pretty sure) about an hour out of chicago.



our week consisted of a lot of relaxing--reading, watching movies, sleeping in, eating junkfood; a lot of fun--playing golf, tennis, horseback riding, going out to dinner; and a jam packed day of adventures in chicago. i loved it! we went to the hancock observatory and got to see the whole city from high above, we took the metro over to a cubs game, we went to the chicaco art institute, we had the best chicago style deep dish pizza i have EVER had and just enjoyed walking around the city taking tons of pictures along our way.





we came back rejuvenated and ready to jump back into work and school. we feel pretty lucky we were able to do this, and are already looking forward to our next adventure, new york city for memorial day !!

  4. That picture in the Metro is great! Was your deep-dish from Giordano's? And by the way, what are you doing going to NYC on Memorial Day?! Wait until Labor Day & you'll have a free place to stay!
