Chicago!

In Chicago for a vacation until Wednesday. I still want a really great staycation, but this will have to do.

FC had done the Chicago deep dish (okay, “stuffed”) pizza and the Amazing Race-like escapade. Can’t say that my siblings and I had any Amazing Race; it was mostly smooth, but for weather-related delay, thanks to rain. Atop of that, the Chicago White Sox game was postponed due to the rain. Rain, rain, go away… The deep dish pizza at Giordano’s in Oak Park tonight was pretty impressive, but I agree with FC – you can’t call that pizza (not if you’re a NY’er!).

Oak Park’s very pretty – amazing architecture for a suburb (well, Frank Lloyd Wright was from here – we barely saw too much of his house/studio, since it was pretty dark tonight; I wouldn’t call it mere ‘burb either; some of it felt very classic and well-tended – plus how many ‘burbs would claim to being the hometown of Ernest Hemingway?).
