Chicago

So we hit the road and headed to Chicago yesterday. First we stopped by the Schaumburg IKEA just outside of Chicago. It was one of the coolest IKEA's I have been to. Well this makes IKEA number five for me.

Next we headed to Gino's Pizzeria in the heart of Chicago. Ryan had gone there as a child and was excited to go there again. We had some great deep dish pizza.




Next we hit the streets of Chicago.



Lilly loved this Lion. She kept barking at it.



And finally I could not go to Chicago without going by the Harpo studios. Hopefully sometime over this next four years I will actually be able to get inside and go to an Oprah Show.




This was the coolest rest stop I have ever seen. It is build as an overpass to the freeway. We were on a toll road and they have these rest stops so that you don't have to get off the toll road and pay to get back on. Lilly loved seeing the cars going by.
