Chicago’s signature dish is the deep pan pizza, so of course we had to have one. Tim found a restaurant near by called Malnati’s. We apparently chose well as this place was going crazy! We were told that it would be an hour for our table but to speed things up they get you toContinue reading “Chicago Deep Pan Pizza”

Some Tastes from New York
Artichoke pizza was a great recommendation and we in fact went back for a second visit it was so good!! A great ordering experience too, very similar to the “soup nazi” A late night stop for yoghurt! Fantastic to be able to grab a bite from such a variety of food vans around theContinue reading “Some Tastes from New York”
Santa Monica Food Vans
The first experience was one that I had been looking forward to for a long time and the burrito certainly didn’t disappoint! The first milkshake we had too, from what was a LA milkshake institution.
Night out with Greg!!
Fantastic night out in Chicago with Greg Barter starting with a pub crawl through downtown Chicago and then finishing with some southern style ribs and pulled pork!! Definite meat coma still going on today!! Fancy cocktails, apparently the bar employed a guy especially to make the garnishes. Below are the sauces we hadContinue reading “Night out with Greg!!”
Downtown Chicago
A few more pics from our travels. Chicago has been a fantastic city. The architecture is awesome and the lakeside area has been really well done. I find it hard to comprehend that it is a lake and not an ocean but as Tim sarcastically said to me when we got here “That is whyContinue reading “Downtown Chicago”
Sunshine, Free Music and Planning
A day spent planning the next few bits of the trip, sat in a park with a fantastic view of the city. Then spent the rest of the day ambling through Grant Park and Millinium park, which was really fantastic and then found out that there was a free outdoor concert being held, so weContinue reading “Sunshine, Free Music and Planning “
House of Blues Chicago!
The first part of the day we unfortunately couldn’t get any photos of as it was a little bit of a frightening experience as we went in search of the cheapest used car dealers we could find in Chicago. Walking along the street, we felt a little bit conspicuous to say the least. On arrivalContinue reading “House of Blues Chicago!”
Last day at Washington
The one thing DC does better than NY was their Underground train system. The Metro train stations were actually really pretty and easy to get around. We then caught the train to Baltimore to catch the plane to Chicago. Only to be told when we got there that they had overbooked and if we wouldContinue reading “Last day at Washington”
Georgetown, Washington DC
Another sweltering day in Washington! So we decided to spend the morning hitting the Smithsonian National Museum of American History as we both needed a little brushing up on our history facts. Afterwards we sneakily caught the final few holes of the British Open golf and then we were off to Georgetown. Which seemed toContinue reading “Georgetown, Washington DC”
Washington DC
Another walk around for us, but this time the temp was topping 38degrees!!! So more of a slow amble! Washington DC is a very stately city (Almost bland city centre) and very different from New York. It all seems very imposing. T The Front and back doors of the White House A coupleContinue reading “Washington DC”
