my kind of razzmatazz

Did we say the drive to Fargo was bad?
We arrived in Chicago around midnight, after a snowy drive, and checked into the hotel to sleep. The next day was filled with clowning around at the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago-style hot dogs, chili fries, too much dessert, and some Frankenstein at the Daley Plaza
We took the requisite tourist photos at the bean:
Apparently, fine establishments will not offer ketchup with your Chicago-style hot dog as the sugar in the ketchup over-powers the flavor of the dog. How pretentious & delicious.
We got some cheap dessert.
Evidently, cheap does not necessarily mean small in the States.
The ice cream sandwich I ordered was the size of my face.
Our Hallowe'en night ended with some Frankenstein in Daley Plaza.
My kind of town, Chicago is.

I have always wanted to visit Chicago!!! Your pics look amazing (and I laughed out loud when you said "how pretentious and delicious" over the no ketchup ordeal. haha!)
ReplyDeleteThis really makes me want to take a trip to Chicago!!!
So snowy! I love Chicago- I want to go again and take pics with the Bean!
ReplyDeleteOh, I LOVE Chicago. :) I really really want to go back someday. It was incredible the first time, but I was too young to really get to explore on my own.
ReplyDeleteChicago is a great city! And those cheese fries looked delish!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you two are having so much fun. The touristy photographs are a must!!
ReplyDeleteAhh - you guys are awesome!! Ice cream sandwich the size of your face...ahhh the American way ;) Have fun!
ReplyDeleteDriving in the snow, gasp!!! Not for me, oh no no!
ReplyDeleteYes, The Museum of Science and Industry. We missed it when we were in Chicago last and I wanted to cry.
I can't do Chicago-style hot dogs. Too many toppings and I'm a boring mustard only kinda gal :) Laughing about the ice cream. Portion control is of no importance in this country. God forbid we exercise a bit of restraint. Nope, bigger is better mmmkay?
Frankenstein, how fun!!! You are my kinda people :)
PS I got your tweets a couple days late but was so happy to get them!
please please please go to butterfly thai and sushi bar in chicago. it's our favorite place. and it's seriously delish. :)
