My twin sister, Elizabeth, flew to Chicago to help me drive home. She had never been to Chicago before so we spent my last day in Chicago exploring some of my favorite things. We got to see Millennium Park together, go to the Art Institute, and for our last evening, we went to Beauty and the Beast. We packed my car Friday morning (July 1) and drove all day. We stopped in North Platte, Nebraska at midnight, then drove all of Saturday and got to Liz's house by 6:00 Saturday evening. The kids and Jeff were all excited to see Liz.
I loved that I got to spend one-on-one time with her throughout the trip.
And we ended the night by getting cheesecake at the Hancock Tower Lounge. It's on the top floor of one of the tallest buildings in Chicago, and has amazing views of the city--although the funniest thing is that the absolute best view is from the women's restroom. The whole wall is a window that looks down on the city. And we were lucky enough to get to see a lightning storm over Lake Michigan while we were up there which was absolutely gorgeous!
