Day 8*

Another great day in Chicago. 

Denise, Chris, APM and I went to the International Kennel Club of Chicago Dog Show. Denise and I could not stop saying that the show felt like we were celebrity spotting. It's not everyday you see a Komondor or a Afghan Hound.

Komondor

The Komondor was prepping for the show so we couldn't pet her, but this was one of the nicest owners at the show. Some were very protective of their dogs.

Afghan Hound

This day ended up being very gluttonous so I want to warn you before we continue. APM and I started with Chicago Style hotdogs at the dog show. How ironic.

A boy, a girl and the Chicago Skyline

But our first stop was the Chicago Skyline. This must be one of the most beautiful views of the city. 

Then Chris and Denise took us to Garrett's Popcorn for the Chicago Mix. Half cheddar popcorn, have caramel popcorn. All heaven. I was seriously addicted to this stuff, and had to hand it off to someone else just to prove that I had any self control left. 

Next we made it over to the Bean. We took some classic self portraits and attempted some cool shots. 

Then was BBQ Ribs at Twin Anchor. Best in Chicago hands down. This place is famous for their ribs so there was no way we could pass. Four orders of ribs coming right up. I started with a nice Pyramid Apricot Ale, and continued with the best rack of ribs. Ever.

And ended the day at Gayety's Ice Cream and Chocolate. Really a day surrounded around eating, but cuisine is usually the treasure in most cities. And we had the best tour guides to show us around. Thank you Denise and Chris for such a great Chicago visit.
