On Dec. 27, Bryan and Christine met us in Southaven and we set out for Chicago. The trip and tickets to see a My Morning Jacket show were Grady's and my Christmas gifts to each other.
Sunset from the top of the John Hancock Building. When you go to the John Hancock Building, you can pay the $25 admission to the John Hancock Observatory OR you can go to the Signature Room on the 95th floor for free and enjoy an extremely overpriced drink. Mmmm... chocolate martini. If you really want to go on the cheap, just go to the Signature Room's women's bathroom. I think the view from their floor-to-ceiling windows is even better than the view from the restaurant.
Highs in the 40's with lots of wind! Here we are at Millennium Park in front of the giant shiny bean.

At the Holiday Inn Mart Cityscape bar (mmm... chocolate martini), waiting for Grady to sleep off the killer strep throat that plagued him the whole trip. Luckily, Christine is a pharmaceutical rep with lots of antibiotics and decongestants up her sleeve, and of course, a few NuvaRings.
The My Morning Jacket show was awesome and the Chicago Theater is a beautiful venue. Our seats were in the mezzanine boxes, and couldn't have been much better!
On our last night, Bryan, Christine, Grady and I met Erica and Fuzzy at an amazing restaurant that they recommended called Hopleaf that had crazy beers that we'd never even heard of, but were happy to try. The food was very tasty too. I had stuffed turnip greens! Thank you Christine for sharing your pics!

Glad to head NuvaRings are a cure for Strep. Y'all are geniuses! Hope you enjoyed your trip. When we went to Chicago for Mike and Meghan's wedding I made Lauren Raymer go in the bathroom of the Signature Room with me. I also sent Jason and Keys to the guys bathroom to see their view, and they came out pretty angry when they realized there were no windows in there.
Chocolate Martinis!!!
We LOVED seeing y'all and hate that we couldn't stay longer at the bar. Come back anytime!
