Chicago-day 2

On day two-Saturday, Dave borrowed a car from his friend and we drove to a place called Hot Doug's which has been featured on the Food Network several times and is really well known in Chicago. The owner is a chef and makes all these crazy hot dog combinations that are totally gourmet. We actually stood in line for a whole hour to get in!

Hot Doug's: the cased meat emporium!

Rick and I had: 2 chipotle cilantro sausages with mole and Mexican cheese, one Cincy dog with Skyline chilli and sharp cheddar, one elk and bacon sausage with cubed cheese (think it was Fontina) and an order of fries fried in duck fat. Oh, and a side of nacho cheese. Holy cow! Needless to say it was AMAZING.

Driving back: a view of the water tower, supposedly the only building to have survived the great fire, with the Hancock building behind.

After letting our food settle for a bit we went for a walk along the lake. It was a beautiful day and not as cold as the day before.
Royal bundled up before leaving. I love the sleeping bag thing they have for kiddos now.

Cute Dave and Erin, you can see the ferris wheel behind them

We can't forget RoyBoy!

I love this picture of the sun peeking behind the buildings

That's it for day two! We stayed in and ordered Chinese take out for dinner and hung out. Kind of hard to do much at night when Royal went to bed at 7:30, but we were quite content to just hang out :)
