My husband travels some for business, & if it is a really great place, I usually go along.
But every year in June, there is a big conference. Always some place great. Last year was San Diego, this year, closer to home, we went to Chicago.
Our 1st few days there we stayed in a fabulous, I mean fabulous place with a view of the lake. ( & I didn't take any pics of the view ) Then we moved, to a nice hotel, but not near as FABULOUS!!
But it was closer to all his meetings & we had invited our kids to join us for the weekend, as we had a suite reserved :)
Every year we go to this conference it falls on our anniversary, this year was 35 for us. A BIG one. So my sweetie asked if we could have something special. "Sure" they said. Well, I was expecting the "View" again. BUT all they could do was give us a really big corner room, with a view of the city....
This is the view that we had....
Nice, huh?? I watched each day as folks sat in the sun, walked thier dogs... see in the 2nd pic....beyond the fence... there is a spot for the dogs to do thier business :)
Imagine..... how fun!! ..... to live there..... Million + dollar condos, with no maintenance, a place to sit high above & watch the world go by.
And though we had a great time.... dinner at Morton's, dinner at the Palm, had dinner one night at the Field museum, one night at the Planetarium...... 8 nights was enough
We came home & I woke up with this view from my bed ......
And this view......
And though we loved the sites & sounds of the big city....waking up with windows open, with breezes coming in & the birds singing.... there is no place like home
Unless we are up north at the cabin for the weekend :)
I hear ya honey....love visiting interesting places, but LOVE coming home. Great views out your windows.

I know what you mean about coming home. My bedroom is my sanctuary and although I love traveling, it's good to be on familiar ground again.
ReplyDeleteI live in Chicago and I am SO glad you had a good time. It sounds like you ate at the best places...what a great way to celebrate your anniversary! Congratulations on 35 years!! :-)
