Chicago Birthdays 2012

Its that time of year again...Birthday's DAY!
This year, we decided to head to Chicago for our birthdays!


On the first evening, we checked into the hotel and headed to Oven Grinder Co.
It ended up being packed, so we had some drinks and dinner elsewhere!


We did some walking downtown on day two!
We took in the sites at the German Christkindlmarket (crowded!) and walked along the Chicago River!


We stopped back by Oven Grinder Co. for lunch and found it much more our style!
We had their famous "Pizza Pot Pie"!
The Pizza Pot Pie is an individual serving, "made from scratch" with triple-raised Sicilian bread-type dough; a homemade sauce consisting of olive oil, fresh garlic, onions, green peppers, whole plum tomatoes and a special blend of cheeses; sausage made from prime Boston butts; and doorknob-size, whole, fresh mushrooms. 



Later we headed to a local Irish place near our hotel for dinner and drinks!
We had fun hanging in the hotel and enjoying a weekend in the Windy City!


The next day we headed home (swinging by Three Floyds along the way!)!
What a great Chicago style birthday weekend!
