Matt, Mark, their families, and I spent a couple days hanging in Chicago. It was a great little vacation. I arrived via Amtrak train after visiting my family in Michigan. First off, riding the train is sweet. I highly recommend it if you ever get the chance. It’s fun, and it only cost me $18…so much cheaper than driving.
Once in the city, we stayed at a Hyatt hotel downtown, which was amazing. Anywhere we wanted to go, we could either walk or take a train. A huge thank you to Susi Keating at Hyatt Place, Denver Airport for getting us the rooms. If you ever need a place to stay near the Denver airport, look up Hyatt Place. They’re wonderful folks.
Monday, we all roamed around the city on our own. I went to Intelligentsia, a great coffee shop in Chicago, and while I was sitting outside, enjoying my cup of delicious coffee, a familiar looking fellow walked by. He was wearing a plaid shirt, glasses, an awesome long beard, and his name was David Crowder. Turns out his whole band was inside. They were in town doing the same thing we were; hanging out and biding our time for Tuesday night…
Anyway, after leaving the coffee shop, I went and watched Fireworks at Navy Pier. It was fun.
The end.
