I am finally getting around to uploading pictures from Chicago.
We stayed in Itasca and took the train into Union Station. It was smart to stay out there at a Hyatt Place. I love the Hyatt Place. The downtown hotels were too expensive by the time we booked.
We went to the Iowa Club Watch Party, the pop-up marketplace for packet pick-up which was like .5 miles away from the Watch Party, Water Tower Place, Navy Pier. We ate at an Italian deli near our hotel. The next day we drove into downtown Chicago and ran the half-marathon. We ate at the Walnut Room at Macyโs. We also went to Chinatown. I also love Sweet Tomatoes and ate there in Schaumburg. On Labor Day, we went shopping.
