Yesterday Vern surprised me by planning a day in Chicago from start to finish (with some help from Ashley).
After arriving, we walked a couple of blocks to Macy's. They had already started to decorate for Christmas, so it was fun to see the Christmas window displays.
We had dinner at the famous Walnut Room at Macy's.
Macy's had already put up the "Great Tree," a 45 foot Christmas tree that is right in the center of the Walnut Room. I'm glad they have to decorate it and not me.
The food was good and the service was excellent. Vern had the famous potpie and I had lobster bisque and Asiago crusted chicken breast.
We had dessert too. Unfortunately, there wasn't time for photos of that!
After dinner, we walked to the Cadillac Palace and saw the stage presentation of Dirty Dancing. The show was fantastic and the cast and sets were amazing.
Having spent all of my summers at resorts, Dirty Dancing has always brought back fond memories. Although I didn't find Johnny Castle at any of them, I did find a guy one summer that I'm kind of fond of.
Even if he can't dance.
We drove into Midway and then took the El train into Chicago. That was a nice relaxing way to go, because really - who wants to drive in downtown Chicago.

What a fun day and what a sweet thing for Vern to do! So glad you enjoyed it. But that clock should be on the corner of Marshall Field's, ya know. I miss that place...
You aren't alone. The Macy's hate is far and wide in Chicago.
