is it friday yet?

This Friday I will be hopping a plane and flying to the fancy city of Chicago. My mom had an 'important' birthday this year and my sisters and I will be traveling from Maine, Iowa, California and Minnesota to the windy city for a little girls weekend in the city to celebrate. After that adventure I'll be heading back home to Minnesota for a very brief stay to see my family and friends. I've been looking online to see if I could find any new spots or ideas for my trip and instead looked at all these pretty pictures and art for the better part of an hour. Here are some pretty pretty pics of my two fabulous Midwestern cities. Happy birthday Mom!

I haven't been to Chicago for a few years- any suggestions on restaurants/activities for us? Appreciated!
