Chicago

Okay, so I know the blog is named "Sweet Wild Violet", but the following blog is not of Violet, but my trip to Chicago.  It was a fabulous trip, but due to some transportation issues and then the weather, we got stuck for two extra nights.  It was frustrating at the time, but looking back, it was pretty nice to get to kick back for two extra night!

Our journey begins!

Chicago, we have arrived!

 Public transportation, the only way to go.

We were there for a wedding, so we stayed in the hotel close by.  We got into town late, but headed down the block for delicious pizza and beer!  I like Chicago already!

Building of the big city!

Hot and humid Chicago provides some relief.  Yep, I splashed around :)

Beautiful art everywhere

Trying to get to the airport, long delays, and unexpected transfers...
