My favorite "GETAWAY"!

Chicago!! What more can I say! This has been my favorite place to go for the last 5 years! Sure I had been as a kid, you know to the zoo, the museums, Navy Pier! But on a bus! It will be 6 years this Memorial Day weekend that I went as an adult! I am not a fan of big bodies of water but King managed to trick me and we drove down Lake Shore Drive! The skyline was scary to me, all I could see was water and boats and no land on the other side of the water! But ye sooooo incredible beautiful! Later that night he wanted to take me to the "water"! We sat on the beach looking back at the downtown sky. All I could do was smile and grin and call my mother to tell her just where I was at and how amazing it was! Now after all these years it doesn't matter if it is summer, spring, fall, or winter I always ask to go to the "water"! I love the beach now, I don't get in the water maybe just my feet but I will not go all the way into the lake!
To me the lakefront is so special to me! It was the first time King had taken me to Chicago to meet his family it was the first time I had ever been by that much water with out completly freaking out. But my most favorite about the lake front is that was when King told me he loved me and how special I was to him. And that the fireworks that were going off in the sky were all for me! (lol I knew they weren't but it was super sweet)! That was the very moment that I knew I didn't want to take another step in this life without him by my side! He truely is my better half!
