    I grew up in Chicago in the 60s and 70s. Was raised by my mother and grandmother, who surrounded me with books, and I’m so grateful for that! This vlog was an absolute delight.

    I was born and raised here so I obviously love it. I also work right on the river so I always go outside for lunch and see the tour boats pass by. I’m glad you all had a good time! Next time you should definitely visit in the summer. You can take a ghost tour, watch a Broadway show, go to a Cubs game, there’s so much to do!

    I was thinking about sweet Tanker last night… and one clip of him that has forever stuck in my head as a favourite is one hot summer day Tank is belly down flat out on a cooling mat in front of a fan, and I thought now this boy has got it all figured out 😂🥰
    He was a special guy ❤ truly captured hearts around the world
    So glad you girls had such a memorable trip in Chicago! I truly believe your Tank is looking out for you and is sending y’all all the good karma!! 🥰🥰🥰

    I’m so glad you guys had such a positive experience and love that you brought us along! I love Chicago and have been a bunch of times for work - my company is actually headquartered on the same street as your hotel, like a 20-second walk away! Chicago is so open and pretty with all its parks. And I’m glad you loved the architecture boat tour, it’s awesome! Great time of year to go, too - I’ve often gone in December and it’s a windchill of like -20, it gets crazy cold!
    Even though I’ve been there a lot, I’ve never visited Bucket O Blood, so I’ll have to check it out next time! 🥰
