Hurricane Ike

Chris and I just got back from the "windy" (more like rainy) city of Chicago. Fabulous city!

We flew in on Friday morning and flew out on Monday night. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we toted around umbrellas making the best of the wrath of Hurricane Ike. We were lucky as some parts of Chicago were completely flooded!

We saw as many sights and neighbourhoods as we could and spent some of the wettest times inside at the Art Institute and restaurants. We went to some fantastic places to eat - so if you are ever in Chicago and looking for an upscale vegetarian restaurant (Green Zebra), a hip Japanese spot (Japonais), a small plates, tapas style dining experience (avec), or a Mediterranean inspired localavore chef (Naha) try these spots out.

So between eating and shopping we stayed dry and had a great long weekend.
