Chicago - A fun, beautiful city

Wednesday, June 7th, 2006 |

This week, my husband and I have been in Chicago staying at the Hyatt Regency. He’ s been attending the Internet Retailer Convention here at the hotel. I have to say, before we got here, I didn’t really know what to expect. I love it! It is beautiful and a lot of fun. Last night we went and saw the Blue Man group. It was fun - kind of quirky, but entertaining. Today, I went by myself to see Wicked, the Broadway show. It was absolutely wonderful! Even though I was by myself, and sitting among a group of 8th graders, I had a great time. Tonight, we went to a White Sox game, and it was so much fun. They played the Detroit Tigers and won, 4-3. I bought a cute pink White Sox baseball cap for myself, and a mini baseball bat for my brother. Oh, and I can’t forget - I went to the American Girl’s Place - the original one. (There are currently 3 - the one in Chicago is the original, one in New York, and one in Los Angeles.) If you don’t know what it is, they make beautiful dolls. My younger sister has two, and loves them.

I think what I love about Chicago is how many things there are to do in the city. From theater to baseball games to shopping, it is so much fun. My husband wants to buy a condo downtown on the river - they start in the low $300,000’s. While that may seem expensive to someone in Utah, it seems very reasonable to me, having grown up in California. Tomorrow we fly back home, but I’m hoping to come back soon. 3 1/2 days was not nearly enough time here.
