Chi-Town, here I come!!

On Tuesday, I am off on a culinary tour and shopping extravaganza in lovey Chicago!!
My blessed mother has gifted me with the trip for my 30th (eek!!) birthday and I am going to make the most of my 2 days there. I have plotted our course, and we will hit the ground running starting with a stop at the local Starbucks for my Tall, non-fat, decaf extra pump vanilla latte and then we're off to brunch at Orange on Harrison. I am very eager to try their Fruishi!! www.orangebrunch.com
Then, after checking into our ultra hip Hotel Avenue, www.avenuehotelchicago.com, we will hit the Miracle Mile!!
Then off to Garretts Popcorn for a tasty treat, that I have only heard rave reviews about! www.garrettpopcorn.com
Then it's off to the theater where we will get a behind the scenes tour of the Broadway show Wicked! Hello?! Can you tell I'm pumped?!?!
After a short break to have a cocktail (or 7) I will FINALLY get to see the show. My friends Amanda and Katie have gushed over how great Wicked is!

On Wednesday morning, we will have a leisurely breakfast at the hotel and carb up for more serious shopping!
I found a neat little BBQ joint that I thought we could try for dinner named Smoque. www.smoquebbq.com
I will FOR SURE come back 90 pounds heavier from all of the yummy treats I plan on indulging in, but I have a feeling that every calorie will be worth it!
Wooo-Hooo!!!
