holiday snaps from Chicago

Here comes a slightly delayed post from our American trip a couple of weeks ago. Pictures are in no particular order:



The architechture is a mixture of old, very ornate, and ultra modern sky skrapers


My new pink top I picked up at one of the designer outlets



Chicago at night is spectacular. Here I am at Vertigo, on the top floor of our Hotel



Enjoying a cocktail on the roof terrace of the Trump Tower, Chicago






Having a quick pit stop in a really cool Hawaiian bar/restaurant

Stars and stripes

The weather turned glorious on our second day, with highes of 28 degrees. Guess if I was hot in my UGGS? lol


The back drop is the Chicago River and Lake Michigan


A tired Bear (after a late night), requesting a late check out at our hotel reception

Heading for the lift for yet another roof top bar


At the Penninsula Hotel


Trying to keep a happy face despite ache from very bloated stomach


Looking slightly disheveled

Soaking up the sun on a river boat







Out door dinner and champagne as the evenings were nice and warm


Downtown Chicago - "the Magnificent Mile"

Pre dinner bubbly served in an unusual champagne glass (looked like a test tube LOL)


Sipping on Martini in the area known as the " Viagra Triangle"


Crunchy crab at top pan - asian restaurant, Sunda
Coming home, a little merry, after a night out downtown.


Chicago's skylines are really beautiful


Bear, the day after the night before, in the breakfast lounge reading The Chicago Tribune

my choice of brekkie; eggs benedict with the Hollandaise sauce served on the side


Doing the "tourist thing" and seeing the sights

Bear sporting the really nice bargain Hilfiger blazer he bought there

Stina; tack gulliga du :-)

Prinsessan: Det stammer! Alldeles alldeles underbar!

Lady E: Tack!
Daremot ar inte vart att gora en blogg post om min shopping for det blev inte mycket handlat alls, till mig sjalv iallfall. Den korta tiden vi var dar spenderade vi mestadels pa barer och restauranger :-)
Till Baby Bear passade jag daremot pa att kopa pike trojor, bade lang och kort armade, fran Ralph Lauren, da dem ar billigare dar.
