I had so much fun taking photos of this beautiful city I live so close to!
Lisa and I rode the Ferris wheel at Navy Pier....... : ) (And yes, I did take this photo!)
I am not sure why, but a huge sculpture of Marilyn Monroe was there right on Michigan Ave. Had to take a picture of her..... ; )
We visited the famous Sprinkles Cupcake Bakery on Walton Street........it has been highlighted on Food Network....and I can see why! Their cupcakes are YUMMY! and yes, being the big dork I am had Lisa take a picture with my $34.00 worth of cupcakes......but oh...so worth it!
And here they are........Red Velvet, Carrot Cake (x 2), Black and White, Chocolate Marshmallow, and Chai Latte........
And here is my big sis and I stopping to look at the view at Navy Pier.......
Shall I take more photos of food? Of course! I got a surprise knock on the hotel door for this delicious surprise........
We went to see Million Dollar Quartet and I got my picture taken with Jerry Lee Lewis......okay not the actual Jerry Lee......but as you can see from my lack of eyeballs in this picture I was pretty happy with this Jerry Lee..... ; )
We had a delicious dinner at Catch 35........one of my favorite places!
Oh! And did I mention I got cake? ; ) A molten lava type of cake that was warm and gooey!
And here I am just a couple weeks shy of my 40th birthday........I get to enjoy a couple of more weeks in my 30's! LOL!
I seriously think I gained 10lbs eating all the cakes and sweets from this weekend! But in all seriousness, I had a great weekend......and is definitely a part of the many sweet memories I hold near to my heart. Thanks for letting me share this with you!

Oh wow! So jealous! I LOVE SPRINKLES!!! Her strawberry one is INCREDIBLE!!! Between Sprinkles and the brazillian restaurant (can't remember the name right now) it always costs me an extra $200.00 to go to Chicago. Hee! Hee! What a wonderful trip! Wow! They are really going to have to come up with something pretty amazing to top this on your actual birthday, huh?
