Even though we live in Indianapolis, we make the long trek to Chicago O'Hare because he can fly out cheaper from there. We decided that instead of rushing back home that Friday, we would just stay in Chicago and spend our V-Day there!
I picked Raj up around 3 p.m. It was SO wonderful to FINALLY see him after a whole month. That was the longest we had been separated since we started dating. It's kind of a weird feeling at first, but we quickly got over that and was right back to normal!
Raj had booked us a nice hotel. We decided that since we were in Chicago, it was probably best to do our V-Day dinner that Friday instead of trying to fight the crowds on the actual 14th.
We went to Giordano's for some deep dish pizza (and margaritas!). Raj and I agree that it was the best pizza we'd ever eaten in our lives.
We decided on a medium deep dish with BBQ chicken and green peppers. OM NOM NOM. This made for amazing cold leftovers the next day.
After dinner we decided to go back to the hotel. Raj was pretty jet lagged and I was impressed he was even able to go out for dinner that night.
So, the actual V-Day was no less spectacular! Raj took me to the Willis Tower (previously known as Sears Tower). At first I wasn't too thrilled. I mean it didn't sound all too exciting, but I rather enjoyed myself. Aside from being ridiculously cold, we had a great time!
After that we spent a little time on Devon Street (otherwise known as "Little India". I'd never been and it was really cool seeing all the Sari shops and stores that sold Hindi movies. I finally got a marble chakla. The man selling it to us was like "you roll chapatti?" hahaha! If only he knew!
Then we had to make the looooong drive back home, but a three hour car ride with Raj after a month apart is nothing to complain about! =)
