Birthday Fest Chicago 2010 day 3

Chicago is such an incredibly fun city.  So much to see and enjoy.  I absolutely love big cities.  I need to get myself out of SLC.  No offense, but I am so bored there.

Today we went to a suburb of Chicago and met my friend Sarah for breakfast.  We went to a place called Clarks.  It was yummy.

I love artwork.....which Sarah called graffiti! :)
We will call it urban art.  He he he.
Then Sarah took us to a fantastic little shop called The Mexican Shop.  I absolutely loved it.  It had unique jewelry and clothing. It was so incredibly much fun. Thanks Sarah
The train to take us back to the city
Sites of Chicago
My own version of abstract art.  The Chicago Sewer.
Apparently this is a famous Chicago popcorn shop.  Kristin had been telling me about this shop since we got here.  She told me the lines are always really long because it is DELICIOUS! I did not believe her.
Now I do. This is the line for the popcorn shop which also winds around and around once you get in the shop.  Which we waited in.  It was worth it.  The caramel popcorn was so yummy
I never tire of city views.
I was there
Gorgeous!
What more can I say???
This is a famous park where they take video of people and then project their faces on this landmark. Interesting city art.
kayaking down chicago river is on my list of things to do in chicago.  looks like tons of fun
On our way to dinner
For my extended birthday dinner, my friend Kristin took me to Harry Carey's Steakhouse.  We had such a great time and the food was absolutely delicious.  I honestly could only eat half of my steak and did not even make a dent in the twice baked potato.  On a lighter note, I asked the waiter if he had a dog and sure enough, he did.  I offered my leftover steak to him for his dog and he accepted.  It did not go to waste.  I was so happy.
Of course they completely humiliated me by loudly singing happy birthday to me and giving me FREE coconut sorbet.  It was yummy.
