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.

  2. I'm glad you liked Chicago.. and I am just so jealous (like I've said before) of what you're doing!
    That drive looks scary. I never liked driving in the snow.. in fact it freaks me out horribly.

    Driving in the snow, gasp!!! Not for me, oh no no!

    Yes, 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!
