Headed to the Windy City
My husband and I went to Chicago for an extended weekend. While we were there, we checked off another item off of my bucket list. We attended the Halo Outpost Discovery gaming convention! I really enjoyed it! We were able to go with some of our friends, and I even met up with my brother there! They had some different things you could experience and see from the Halo videogames. I grew up playing this game with my brothers, so this was a lot of fun for me. I really wish we could have experienced more while we were there.
We did manage to do a little bit of exploring while we were in the Windy City as well. The first day, we ventured downtown and got to go see the Bean. It was a perfect day to walk around and experience the area! We ended up eating at the Remington for supper which was very delicious. While we were there, we asked our server where a good bar for after dinner drinks would be. She recommended this bar down a block called Rudy’s. It was a nice little bar that made you feel like you belonged. We even had some fun with some of the other customers. It will definitely be a story that we will be able to enjoy for a long time! Our last night, we went out to eat as a group at a restaurant called Chicago Q. They had really good pickles and delicious barbecue. Would highly recommend this! We wrapped up the night at a fun tiki bar called Three Dots and a Dash. It was a fun little bar with really neat looking drinks. We got one that was out of a coconut!
All in all, we had a wonderful time! We are excited to go back and explore more of the Windy City!
