We went to the windy city for New Years to visit family. We survived single digit temperatures while shopping all day on the Magnificent Mile. 
We shopped until we froze but had the best time doing it. (or at least I did) You see, Ben is a manly man and avoids anything that has to do with shopping or the appearance of. But, he was a good sport about it and did not even complain once. Which is a big feat for him
We went up to the John Hancock building look out. Ben pointed out the worst "ghetto" in Chicago to me. Though the Hancock building is not the tallest building in Chicago, I was told it has the best view. I think I would have to agree. When we were taking the elevator down from the look out a voice on the intercom says "thank you for visiting the John Hancock building, as we like to call it the Big John". At least it did not smell like one.
We all survived but we almost had one causality.
