Chicago - Day 3 - Rainy Day

We had the best tour guide this day! Dougie! Kim unfortunately had to work, but Doug was in the limbo phase of having taken his Bar Test but not having heard back the results (although there is absolutely no doubt that he passed it.). So he was willing to play tourist with us and showed us around the bus system. 

First stop of the Aquarium. I almost had a heart attack when I saw the .75 mile line (no exaggeration) to get into the aquarium. However, because we had a stroller, we got to use the back entrance that didn't have stairs, and that line only was a 10 minute wait. 


Outside the aquarium
The weather was super grumpy and rained all day. And the cure for a rainy day? Dessert disguised as breakfast. This was at the Rumba Room, another famous restaurant in Chicago and this is their red velevet cake pancakes with white chocolate syrup. divine. 

After nap time we all went to the Navy Pier, but the weather was still in a foul mood. Boo.

Doug and Kim were awesome and offered to babysit the girls for us so Jordan and I could go out by ourselves in the evening. We headed across the city to Greektown and ventured to try a wonderful Greek restaurant. It had won a lot of awards and there were pictures inside the restaurant of all the famous people that had visited the restaurant.

This told us when we didn't like the food that, it wasn't the restaurant, it was us. We discovered that we just don't like Greek food. It was still a super fun date and the girls had a blast jamming out with Doug and Kim.
