    Awesome Awesome Awesome! This one was extra special! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SEAN!!!! She is such a comedian too😄 You guys showcased some great things to do in Chicago! I especially loved the huge surprise on Ella's face at the Japanese restaurant when she touched the mask and it turned a different color! It looks like there is so much to do in the windy city and thank you for showing us that! I'll have to reconsider visiting now! Well as usual thank you guys so much for sharing and HAPPY MOTHERS DAY Carmen! See you guys in the next adventure! Cheers!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEAN! I really love the way she made a list and you all just went down it and indulged in all her wishes. (My son always says, I don’t know what I wanna do. 🙄😂). And I adore your girls’ relationship. Ella being sad about Sean leaving her in single digits, and the gifts she gave her, made me smile with wet eyes lol. Great video. Thanks for sharing ♥️ (And Happy Mother’s Day to you Carmen!)

    Lou Malnati's is actually pretty old school deep dish, but I understand it might not be for everyone. Try Pequod's next time. Instead of the buttery, pie-like crust of a regular deep dish, Pequod's has a more caramelized pan crust.
    Hope y'all enjoyed your time in Chicago. Come back in the summer some time. That's when the city shines, and the architecture sunset tour is worth it.

    The most iconic deep dish pizza places in Chicago are Uno's/Due's, Gino's & Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinder's. Uno's is a traditional deep dish, Gino's has a cornmeal crust & Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinder's is made in a bowl with the crust on the top. When it is served the bowl is inverted so that the top becomes the container for the pizza. (My personal favorite.)

    You came to Chicago, my hometown!
    to most people I know (i.e., locals) Willis Tower will always be the Sears Tower.
    Put on your list for next time Sean:
    Science & Industry Museum
    Field Museum (tell Sue the T-Rex I sent you)
    The planetarium
    Do a cruise on our beautiful Lake Michigan and Navy Pier
    Great Choice of Pan Pizza! Love Lou Malnati’s, other options are Gino’s and Uno or Due… both Uno/Due are owned by same org, my favorite pizza, though, is Georgio’s in Crystal Lake, IL
    For hot dogs I love Portillo’s
    Lots of cool restaurants near my office in Fulton Market, I LOVE Carnivale
    Six Flags in Gurnee! Take the train from the city out to Libertyville and it’s a short ride in a cab or car rental.
    The Botanical Gardens in Glencoe
    Come for the air show in August!
    But my favorite time of the year is probably June and October

    I love Giordano’s deep dish better. If you don’t want deep dish I like Beggars and Aurelio’s. If you ever step foot in Chicago again you would be doing yourself a disservice by not trying Batter & Berries in Lincoln park. It’s a 100 outta 10 all around. You will not be disappointed. It is amazing every single time! Happy birthday to Sean and check out the city next time when it’s summer ❤️
