On Tuesday Ashley and I left the house 3:30 a.m. and headed to Omaha to catch the 6:30 flight to Chicago. We were headed there to pick up her Visa from the Spanish Consulate. We were at Midway Airport by about 7:45 and in our shuttle by 8:00 or so. The shuttle dropped us off at the Consulate at about 8:55 and we headed up to get her visa. By 9:30 we were done with the largest purpose of our trip and had until 4:15 to just enjoy walking around Chicago shopping and experiencing the holidays,
Chicago style.
Of course we went to Starbucks. Did you think we wouldn't? We may not eat Chicago style pizza anytime we are there but we do frequent the Starbucks that are on every corner.
There it is. In and done. What a relief, but I will miss her.
We ate lunch here. We had a window seat looking out over Michigan Ave. It was picture perfect.
The shuttle picked us up at Water Tower Place and we headed back to Midway. And there we sat waiting for delayed flights, changing gates and finally getting out of there 1 and 1/4 hours later than planned. We pulled into the garage, after driving home from Omaha, at 1:00 a.m. So the shortest day of the year turned into the longest day of the year but it was a good one. We had so much fun.
Don't tell Bryan, but I think I am beginning to love Chicago.
