November 12th was our stake temple day. They wanted us to do the 1:30 session but Brian and I wanted to go really early and get to spend the day in Chicago. We left at 8 ET and we got to Chicago in pretty good time. It takes about two hours but it is in CT so you actually get an extra hour to play! I think it the whole trip, there and back, we spent like 15 dollars just in tolls. Any-Who… we thought we were in Chicago, the temple can’t be that far away right? Well it took us an extra hour to get there. I guess we should have looked at a map before we left to see if we could find a way that you didn’t have to go basically right in the middle of the city. The temple looks a lot like the Boise temple.
After the temple, we parked at a Park-And-Ride and took the subway in to town. We spent most of our time around Michigan Ave and Navy Pier. It was super busy. Yes yes, it is a city so it is always busy, but with it being a Saturday and in the holiday season, it was busier than normal.
Brian really wanted to have a Chicago hotdog and Chicago deep dish pizza. We went to Puccini’s??? Something like that. We really liked it! It was good, lots of options and CHEAP!! We will definitely go back. For dinner we had Giorgino’s Pizza. We had to wait for 1 hour and 40 minutes to get a seat. Then it takes like a half hour for your pizza to cook.
We enjoyed Navy Pier. It was really windy! We believe it when they call it the windy city! We rode the Ferris wheel and enjoyed looking around. There is so much to do! We think it would be fun to make a trip one Saturday a month.
