Chi-town, in the HOUSE!

Just booked my flight to Chicago!

Going to check out The Chicago School (of Professional Psychology). My friend Lauren is going with so we can explore the city and visit our friend Liz.
And perhaps.... do a little shopping?
Have a Ferris Bueller Moment?

I want to see what the city has to offer. I've never been and I can't claim to know much about it (except that it's my aunt's top pick and Liz seems to like it!). I have no doubt, however, that there is plenty to keep us occupied.

Chicago is a great city, so I'm sure you'll find plenty of things to like. The biggest downer, by far, is the humidity. But on the upside, your skin will look fantastic! Be sure to take a photo under the Wrigley Field sign.

Sooo FUN!!! When do you leave? How's Stat's?

Going toward the end of October. Fun!!

Stats is going well; getting harder but still interesting. :-)

Liz said...

Yeah for Chicago!!! For a great view of the city, we will have to dress up a little and go to the Signature lounge at the top of the Hancock Building. We will pay $10 for a drink but it is better than paying $10 to get to the observation deck. The view is the same.
I am sorry though, there will be no shopping allowed on this trip. :)

Dress up for a tasty cocktail atop a building with a view? Sounds lovely! And if no shopping, then may I suggest/request/insist on some browsing (with a chance to buy)?

In reality, with all of these trips I'm taking to visit schools, there won't be much left over to shop my heart out. And yet, I'm sure I'll survive.

Liz said...

I think that browsing can be accomodated... :) You can window shop until your heart is content!
And, we don't have to really dress up for cocktails, you just can't show up in a ratty t-shirt and jeans (not that you would EVER show up ANYwhere like that!! You are far too stylish!)

Awh, thanks, Liz! What will the weather be like then, do you think?

Liz said...

Hard to tell. We can sometimes have a random heat wave in October but most likely it will be pretty cool here. Not winter coat cold, just sweater and jacket cool. It's always a little colder downtown being so close to the lake. Dressing in layers is best.

Hey,
You know my friend Megan (who you met at my b-day party) lives there so if you need advice or a tour guide she could give you the hook-up. She doesn't start grad school until late Sept. so she'll be availible! You will LOVE it there, but I know I'm biased.

Thanks, Jodi. I fortunately have a tour guide all lined up (Thanks Liz!) but I would love to get your personal suggestions for things to see & do, and also why you love the city.
