Chicago Day 3

I cant believe that we have only been here 3 days! 
 We have done SO much!
As you have perviously read we have:

-Made the plane (which was sketchy times).
-Had real Chicago deep dish pizza at Lou Malnati's.
-Had my first real Vegan meal at the Chicago Diner.
-Seen the Fountain in Grant Park.
-The Bean in Millennium Park.
-Architecture Boat Tour on the Chicago River.


And today we went straight to the Untouchable tour
This is a Chicago Historical Gangster Tour.

 This was our tour guide.
And you know I had to wear my mob wife ring! 

This was so so fun! It was a two hour tour that went all around the town and heard about all the big time gangsters like Al Capone, and it was all based in the Prohibition-era. 
Couldn't have been more fun, I would suggest it to anybody going to Chicago- so fun!


Then we headed to my motherland----
The Miracle Mile!!!! AHHH I was so excited to get a little (ok maybe a lot) of shopping! 
Kath and I headed down the mile and spent the rest of the day shopping. 
We had to hit Zara, Urban, Kate Sade, Lulu Lemon just to name a few. 
As we passed the apple store the windows we full of sticky notes from people saying what they loved about apple and Steve Jobs.
 It was amazing to see!  This picture is just a small section on the window. 

During our shopping adventure we got a little hungry and found a Sprinkles! 
AHHH YES! 
I was jumping up and down from excitement, and they were Halloween themed. 
Bible- They were to die for!



After our beautiful day of shopping and tours Casey met up with us while we finished up at Nordstrom's. And while walking home we ran into a famous church that we saw on our tour today. This church was where Earl "Hymie" Weiss died during his bosses funeral Dion C'Banion. This hole we are pointing at is a real bullet hole from this murder. Pretty cool,  Right?





Then we headed to dinner at Carmines- Amazing Italian food.
   

Needless to say these days have been filled with Enormous amount laughter, hugs, food and sweet nothings. 
And Casey's roommate Sarah is so amazing, and an instant Bestie!

4 more fun filled days, I will for sure keep you posted!
