Chicago-Day 1

We arrived in Chicago at about 1 on Thursday, June 12th. After a long taxi ride in stop and go traffic, we arrived at our hotel, the Blackstone on Michigan Ave. It was a very nice hotel!


We dropped off our luggage, it was time to venture out and find something to eat. Of course, it was raining...so my first purchase was an umbrella!! We walked for awhile and found a bar to sit at. It felt good to just relax with a drink.


We then continued on to do some shopping for the rest of the day. It was fun walking around downtown and seeing all of the buildings and people. We passed by some of the fancy stores, but didn't go in. We stopped to take a picture by the Chicago River.




We found a fun Mexican restaurant to sit at for dinner and had some good mexican food and margarita's!! After getting back to the hotel we took a few more pictures:





**Note**The above pictures are taken after a few hours of drinking margaritas and beer. :)

We went to bed pretty early on this night. It ended up being the only night that we got a decent amount of sleep.

Stay tuned for pictures from the next few days!
