Back from my honeymoon!
We are now back from Chicago and our wonderful honeymoon. We had a swell time with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
uterdic and smarbaby who went on our journey with us. We stayed in a lovely suite with a bathtub in the bedroom; it had two TV's and a mini fridge. It was sweet. There was much delicious and varied dining, a ton of walking around, and some staple attractions like Navy Pier and the Shedd Aquarium.
The aquarium was utterly amazing. As I mentioned in my voice post, there were many different kinds of sharks (though no Great Whites, much to the disappointment of one kid I saw), a green anaconda, a komodo dragon, lots of lizards, turtles, and an insane amount of fish of all kinds from everywhere in the world. There was a huge, live lungfish that has been around since the 1930's, dolphins, otters, and beluga whales with a recent calf. The whole thing was pretty damn incredible.
I have a new favorite drink: the mojito. I found it in a swell restaurant called TopoloBampo which my dear friend and Maid of Honormissgrete treated us to. We took the bus and a cab once each, and walked around a great deal. I'm afraid I don't have any pics, because H forgot to bring the camera.
Did I say "no" pics? Well, there was one, but it's not very flattering:
Me at the entrance to the aquarium, in the mouth of a Komodo Dragon.
Scary!
While I'm posting pics, let me also share this pic of a gift I got fromkissdbyagnome:
Aren't they something? I just have to figure out a cool way to display them.
