A Chicago Wedding

My cousin's daughter got married on a beautiful summer day in Chicago. I love weddings, especially family ones. I get to see a lot of people that I haven't seen in ages. That's always fun.

Jessica & Bob

We stayed at the Westin on Michigan Avenue. I used Priceline to bid for our room and got it at a pretty good rate. You can't beat the Westin's location on Michigan Avenue. We were given a room on the 22nd floor with a nice view of Lake Michigan. It was not the most beautiful room we've ever stayed in but it was fine and clean. We didn't eat at the hotel so I can't comment on the food.


We had a great dinner one night at Spiaggia Cafe (a short walk from the hotel). Our food was delicious!
Gnocchi
Tiramisu
Gelati

We had breakfast one morning at the West Egg Cafe. It's a very popular place. Go early or you'll wait awhile to get seated.
