We enjoyed a weekend trip to Chicago this past weekend. It was so nice to get away and see friends. It's not a bad drive for us at all...4 hours. The great thing about going there is that we gain an hour! We were oh-so-happy to be able to spend time with good friends!!!
We stayed with our friends Rajat and Shruti, it was so nice to chat and spend quality time with them. (Abhay and Rajat are old friends from their undergrad in Pune, India) Saturday we all went into the city and met up with Abhay and I's friend Carrie and her boyfriend Josh. It was SOOO good to see her and meet him. We truly miss our Minnesota friends. We went to Shedd's Aquarium (which was awesome)and ate a lovely dinner at Maggianos Little Italy downtown. Abhay and I got our first experience on riding the "el" train in Chicago. It was so convenient and so much easier than driving a car downtown. Plus not to mention cheaper (parking is INSANE). Abhay and I also got to enjoy some fantastic Indian food at India House downtown with Rajat and Shruti for brunch Sunday before leaving town. Great food and fantastic fun atmosphere. Abhay thought the lamb was "divine" and I loved the chicken tikka masala.
I loved seeing snow once again!! I also enjoyed the cold, just not the 7 blocks of walking in it to catch the "el". I'll forever be a snow lover.
The crew outside of Shedd's--What an awesome view of the city!!
