A couple weekends ago was my definitely my favorite weekend in Chicago thus far; my parents came to visit me! (And Pierre too!) They could not have come at a more perfect time. The weather was clear skies every day, even with weather reports of possible showers, and it felt like a crisp 60˚ all weekend. Even more amazing, I got a couple days off work and was able to spend all four days with my parents, and Pierre got to spend the weekend with us too! On Friday, their day of their arrival, I gave them a quick tour of Downtown Chicago and showed the everydayness of Pierre and I in our new city. Including a quick walk to Dominick's, our local supermarket and taking in the beautiful views right outside the apartment of the Trump Tower and the Wrigley Building.

While waiting until Pierre finished up with work, I took my parents for a walk up The Magnificent Mile, a portion of Michigan Avenue which is home to amazing shopping, great dining, and luxury hotels. Along The Mag Mile, we stopped at the Chicago Water Tower, the last structure still standing after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.

It's off to Day 2! Get ready for the stunning Millennium Park, a walk along Lake Michigan, and views from Navy Pier!

Are you still working on days 2-4 or did I miss them? I love the first picture of your parents in front of the Chicago Water Tower.....really great!! Looks like you're an amazing tour guide already, and you've only been there for a couple of months...I'm impressed!! =)
