Chicago, IL + Indiana + Michigan

We added states #35 and #36 to our 50 state travel plan (plus re-visited Indiana)! The weather was perfect, which was wonderful since we walked pretty much the entire city. We definitely had our fair share of pizza and hot dogs- a must in Chicago! Richard also decided to do headstands in various spots across Chicago...and even into Indiana. :)

Highlights: Sax Hotel, Crimson Lounge, The Bean, Navy Pier, Architecture River Cruise, Carnivale, Lou Malnati's, Giordano's, Wildfire Grill, Garrett's Popcorn, the El Train, Second City, Millennium Park, Grant Park,  Michigan Wine Tasting, Stray Dog, Pops for Champagne, Watershed (Underground Lounge), Bowling, Portillo's Famous Hot Dogs, Gold Coast Dog
