Last week I wrote about my husband’s personal philosophy, which leads us to travel as often as we can. One of the great things about travelling is that you never know what you may find. Labor Day weekend we choose to travel to Chicago. Our reason for doing so, because neither us, nor our friends whom we travel with, have just never been to Chicago.

Chicago surprised me. Never having been there, I found the sight of a river running right through a major city breathtaking.  Everything about Chicago was better than I had expected it to be, the architecture, the food and the people. I truly expected Chicago to be a city that I would visit once in my life. After having experienced Chicago, I know I will be back.

Have you been to Chicago? What has surprised you on your travels?

Happy happy new year to all who celebrate!!!
