The Hopewell House

Our second day in Chicago started with a much needed caffeine stop at Argo Tea. 

One of my favorite little coffee shop owners here in Columbus recommended it while we were in the area and mentioned the delicious mint chocolate black tea latte would be a good choice, so of course I oblidged and was not disappointed.

This tea chain is awesome and from what I understand, it is located in only larger city areas.

[However, I soon found out that Chicago itself has quite a few]

Instead of using coffee in their lattes, they use various types of teas including black, green, white, and herbal tea selections.

They also have a more natural and wholesome approach to the foods they offer and the products they use.

AKA

Right up my alley.

After our trip to Argo, 

We decided to hit up the infamous Shedd Aquarium.

Thankfully we had the City Pass to quicken our wait in line, however, our line was still super long and it was raining.

By the time we made it into the aquarium itself, we were a slightly prettier version of a wet dog.

The aquarium was a blast and I was dying over the awesomeness of the jellyfish exhibit.

Jellyfish are one of those strange, beautiful creatures that seem so exquisite but so deadly all at the same time. 

And the various types?

Amazing.

After the exhibits, 

We decided to check out the Millennium Park and experience The Bean (aka: The Cloud Gate), because, what's a trip to Chicago without seeing and taking a picture in the reflection of the Bean?.
