Mark took me to the train Thursday morning and off to chicago I went for 2 days of "Girlie Fun" with Linda and Vicki and celebrate Vicki's birthday! Our trains all arrived around the same time, we caught a cab and checked into our room at the Seneca Hotel (great location across from Water Tower). Had a nice lunch at Cheesecake Factory and then browsed around Water Tower most of the afternoon.
Back to our room to change clothes, grab a cab and onto Lincoln Park where we had a wonderful dinner at Mona Ami Gabi .
Vicki opening up a present at the Seneca
Enjoyed a very good dinner (skate - mild white fish)
Vicki with her surprise dessert which she shared - yummy!!!
And then to "Million Dollar Quartet" featuring the music of Elvis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis at the Apollo Theater in Lincoln Park. It was wonderful (2nd time for Linda and I to enjoy this delightful musical)!!!
Arrived at the theater early - here's Vicki and Linda - front and center seats!!!! If you get a chance to see "Million Dollar Quartet" - do it! All based on a true story that took place 12/4/56 when these 4 entertainers came together for the one and only time!
Stopped back at Francesca's Cafe in our hotel for a martini and then got our jammies on and sat and yakked and yakked.
Friday................absolutely gorgeous day. enjoyed breakfast at the hotel and then strolled Michigan Avenue, stopping at Borders and Crate & Barrel. Took a cab downtown and browsed some more at Macy's, and then another lunch winner at The Park Grill (outdoors) in Millennium Park. Back to the hotel, grabbed our bags and off to Union Station.....here are the girls just before entering the train station! FUN 2 days in the windy city!
