Birthday Surprise: CHICAGO (part 1)

This surprise weekend for Mister's birthday has been in the works for a looong time 

BUT 

I couldn't say a word to you guys!!

I so glad I can finally tell you all about it!

And proud of myself for not ruining the secret! 

The Mister and I headed up to Chicago (minus the snow this time) on Friday

and we got right to exploring the city.

Our hotel (The Knickerbocker) was right off of Michigan Avenue i.e. all the best shopping.

I loved all of the fabrics in our room and the shower was phenomenal!

Friday night we had reservations at Rosebud.

We had read that Rosebud was known for their steaks and for having the best burger in the city.

We both went for the burgers and they did not disappoint.

So,so good.

We also ordered parmesan and truffle tater tots.

You guys, those TOTS.

Out of this world.

I've never had such a delicious tot in my life.

 

sorry the grainy pictures the lighting was strange in there

After dinner we ventured to Old Town for a drink and on to Second City.

 Second City was entertaining but not as funny as I was expecting.

We also went to the 11 o'clock show which was midnight our time = past our bedtime.

I'll be back tomorrow with more photos and details from our trip!
