The morning started with a trip on the El (or is it just L?) to downtown Chicago. I got to hear some great birthday songs when I checked my voicemail
A late lunch at Bin 36 started off the feeding frenzy 
The Art Institute of Chicago is a guaranteed stop on any Chicago trip since I love it so much.
In great weather, there is nothing better
that strolling around the streets of Chicago with another guaranteed stop at the Jazz Record Mart for some new (to me) old music
No celebration would be complete without the ultimate dining experience, Topolobampo (Green Zebra is the only rival to this claim)Before the El turned into a pumpkin, we jumped on a returned to suburbia
Having come back to the same place that I celebrated last year, with such similarly beautiful weather and with a most agreeable and compatible partner in crime tricked my mind into not quite knowing which year I had taken the architectural boat tour or bought my most favorite of necklaces at a street fair (both last year) so much so that I thought if I just walked back to the same spot, I would see the same old man taking tickets to get on the boat or the same vendors and their wares. A quick walk four or five blocks to the river straightened that -confusion up – it did still leave me a bit disoriented - a waking moment where the dream seems more real than the scene before your just opened eyes.
