It's not that I don't like this place; but good travel options keep popping up. The latest: a weekend fly away date to Chicago over Labor Day weekend! Deanna and I found cheap tickets and a decent rate at a 4-star hotel and said "Why not?" Two days and two nights in the Windy City, I'm sure we can stay entertained w/ the <a href="http://chicago.citysearch.com/profile/11471345/?cslink=roundup_name_noncust&ulink=roundup__roundupentity2-1_1___profile_25_1">Chicago Jazz Festival</a>, the <a href="http://mf.typepad.com/on_the_road/2004/04/chicago_on_a_su.html">Miracle Mile</a>, the <a href="http://www.chicagotraveler.com/chicago_millennium_park.htm">Millenium Park</a> and the <a href="http://chicago.citysearch.com/roundup/40097/?cslink=roundup_related&ulink=roundup__rounduprelated1_3___roundup__1">Rush Street nightlife</a>.<br /><br /> If anyone I know in Illinois has nothing to do and a few bucks for beer and deep dish pizza; you should come up Saturday or Sunday night and live it up Chicago style!
