Chicago Birthday

After much deliberation boy and I decided to go to a bed and breakfast in Rockton, IL for his birthday. We drove down on Thursday morning. With thoughts of what the town would be like we were slightly disappointed, but the bed and breakfast was indescribable. The property was so gorgeous. I'm so lucky to have been able to go with him. We did some antiquing before we checked in. We then took a tour of the grounds from the house itself to the apple orchards and everything in between. After a delicious homemade breakfast we decided to head out to Chicago which was about an hour from where we were staying. I haven't been to Chicago in quite some time and was so glad to have made it back. There is unbelievably so much you can do there, you honestly need more than a day to go there. We did as much as we could in a day: the Willis Tower, Navy Pier, Millennium Park and the Magnificent Mile. We rode taxi's and the train around town and did lots of walking. All in all it was a great day and a great end to a week with the best guy around. Happy 25th birthday! Here's to many more.
