I *heart* CHICAGO!

I really do.. and if it weren't for my children I would move there tomorrow. The city is so alive and it's always buzzing non-stop. Mr. Parks loves Chicago just as much as I do. I actually introduced him to the windy city when I met him.. We share a love.. I try to go at least three times a year and I think I will try to dash there again in July when it's hubby's b-day.. Oh! & perhaps because  the Taste of Chicago is that weekend :)
Here are just a few quick photos I wanted to share with you all..If you haven't been, you don't know what you're missing.. The shopping/food/atmosphere are amazing..
It also doesn't hurt, that we hop on Megabus.com which sometimes only costs us $6 for two - round trip. Hey..I'm all about a bargain!

We arrive at Union Station by bus or train normally.

Wow..Just take a look at this city, I'm ready to shop!

Heading over the bridge, made sure my walking shoes were on!

LOVE this city!
