Chicago

I have a strange attraction to "Big City Life"...I think it's from all of those movies that I watch, but really, I love the idea of living in a big city. Last week I went and saw my new Favorite Big City, Chicago!!

This is one of those dinner cruises that you could take and go up the river into the city. We went on a speed boat tour which I thought was pretty fun. The tour guide was a 20 something with almost a sense of humor... but just enough boring to cancel out anything funny.

Gorgeous huh??!!! We were out on a boat when the sun set behind the city and you saw the city light up. It was a romantic night that I got to spend...with my coworkers!! Ha, love you all who were there, but the Brenton was needed!



This is a shot from our boat tour as we left the Navy Pier. The Navy Pier is a combination of Fisherman's Wharf + Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk (for you California Readers)




I think I pretty much had a "Big City" experience.

• Walking almost everywhere I went...check
• Crazy people watching....check
• Almost dying in a cab....check
• Being asked to jump in some drunk guys limo...check
• Movie starring hot men...check check!!!!

This was the scene just the street up from my hotel! A dozen or so old fashion cars, and a guy holding a camera! They were filming a movie...My Cab driver was less than happy, but when I found out it was a JOHNNY DEPP film, I quickly forgave any inconvenience and extra $2 that I had to pay the cabby for the time. No I didn't see Johnny, but two co-workers stayed up until about 2am and stood about 30 feet away from the hot stud! I also heard that my other favorite leading man, Christian Bale is in this movie! Two hot babes in the city with me...
