For Valentine's Day, Amanda and I went on the first vacation by ourselves in our married life (excluding our honey moon). We found a great deal for tickets on Mega-Bus (50 cents per ticket!!), and won a $200 American Express gift card in our small group. Since we won the gift card by winning a newly wed game, we thought it would be appropriate to use it to enrich our marriage.
The first couple nights in Chicago we stayed with some friends and relatives, and then the last couple nights we used Price-line to get ourselves a nice hotel for cheap, just off of Michigan avenue.
A restaurant right across from the Chicago Art Institute.
On the steps in front of the Field Museum.
The Pirottes let us sleep at their house, and use their CTA rail passes while we were there.
Finally saw Avatar
The lobby of our hotel, the Palmer House Hilton. It is the oldest, continuously running hotel in the United States.
Spending a little time with Mr. Picasso.
And with good old Grant.
