Let's Go Cubs!

We just got back from a Hoppers' family vacation to Chicago. Addie got to see it all with Grammy, Hopper, Aunt Melody & Uncle Clay (not to mention dear old Dada and Mama).
We ate some delicious food, saw a Cubs game and even visited the Shedd Aquarium. Addie had many new travel experiences like riding on a plane, riding a bus, riding a train and riding in a cab. She was great the entire time!
Resaurants of note for the "foodies" out there like us--
Do I need to even mention the pizza? Giordanos is where its' at!
We can wholeheartedly recommend the Green Zebra (thanks, Mel, for your vegetarian suggestion!) Very tasty and healthy too. :)
Words can't even describe our amazing experience and dessert at Tru. You haven't lived until you have sampled the fabulous dishes, chosen chocolates off their homemade chocolates tray, tried some treats from the roaming pastry and candy cart, AND eaten your "parting gift" that they give you as you leave. Sure, we paid about $100 for this dessert experience, but it was one of the most delicious eating forays of my life. I have been a fan of Gale Gand's show, "Sweet Dreams," on the Food Channel for years and we just couldn't pass up the chance to eat there. I want to try their actual dinner there next time, but I think we will need to sell some of our valuables before we can afford it.
We had been long awaiting our visit to Frontera Grill and it did not dissapoint. Chef Rick Bayless if originally from OKC and he makes us very proud. Definitely the best authentic Mexican food we have ever had.

One of the highlights of our trip (besides the food) was taking Addie to her very first Cubs game. We took pictures on her "namesake" street and she even got to enjoy some hot dog and pretzel once inside the stadium. She didn't last the whole game (nap time called) but it seemed like she really liked it. It was a special experience for Trevor and his family to have her there. Go Cubbies!

Here are just a few pictures from our trip...
