A DAY IN THE CITY

There is nothing like going to the city during the holidays.  We decided to take the elevated train into the city the other day. It brought back memories of when I was a child and went with my mom, brother, grandma and cousins.The city has changed some since then...but it was nice to go anyways. Ray and I went with another couple, Llash and April.  It was the first time they had rode the elevated train.

Any true Chicagoan remembers Marshall Field and Company

all the holiday shoppers.

We wanted to eat at the walnut room, but there was too long of a wait.

So Berghoff was our next choice.  Yummy!!!

in addition to getting some popcorn at "Garrett", we also went to millennium  park,  christkindlmarket, (which is an outdoor market that is setup like a European village). There are gift shops, food and drinks. We had a wonderful day just walking around and looking at all the sights...
