We did go see Macbeth @ the Shakespeare Theater in Navy Pier. The play was really good- it was set in modern day. They had little kids playing guiter hero...right before tragedy struck them. It was an interesting mix- the moderation mixed with the Shakespearean lingo. I'm no critic, but I would give the performance 5 stars!
The theater itself is very cool. It is very wooden gave me a very warm feeling. It does give off a very Shakespearean vibe. The most random part of the play in my opinion was when Lady Macbeth is summoning some sort of evil spirits and pulls down her nighty so show us her boobs...I didn't really get it. I'm sure it was just to keep the attention of all the men...hahaha.
Before we went to the play, we were able to go to RIVA for dinner. It is a very delicious seafood/steak restaurant that is also at Navy Pier. I would recommend it! It has been voted as on of Chicago's "finest seafood restaurants." An added bonus, if you show your tickets for a Shakespeare play, you get 20% off your meal. Not an drinks though. Good thing we picked up the tickets befo
re dinner, or else we would have never known about this awesome discount.For our appetizer, we got beef tenderloin skewers. The beef was so tender and it melted in your mouth. It was severed with mini onions on the skewer. The dish also came with fried plantains, which Joel really enjoyed. I liked the way the grilled limes were presented on the plates...hence the photo focus
.My main course was Lobster Tail. It was a 120z...look at all the lobster meat! I must say it was some of the best lobster that I have had. It was huge and I devoured it all. Joel was actually surprised that I was able to finish it all. I can always make room for more lobster. It was cooked just right and the lemon butter dipping sauce
was just right.Joel ordered the swordfish...it was a duo plate. I can't remember exactly what the duo consisted of...I believe that one had some sort of chipolte sauce and the other garlic maybe? It was presented very nicely and Joel thoroughly enjoyed the fish.
We were such pigs, because we even ordered dessert. It was chocolate ...my favorite! It was so rich.
Overall I really enjoyed RIVA. The service was great, the food and drinks were awesome. For the quality the price was far. The lobster was the most expense at a market price of $60, but with the 20% discount, it was only $48...and well worth it. We both came away really happy from our meal.
After the play, we went to back to our hotel. This time we stayed at Avenue Hotel. It
was nice. The service was good, the room was big and clean, what more could you ask for? The mini fridge- that was sub par- not really the types
of bozos that I would want. There is the Sky Lounge on the 4oth floor of the hotel. Joel and I went up there for a quick drink- they closed at 11pm. I was happy with the drinks! I was really enjoying the cup that my drank came in...I know little things amuse the shit out of me. Mine is the slanted one- the Malibu and diet- my signature drink. Joel got a lemon drop and described it as being "very lemony."We still had more drink in us after that, so then we went to Timothy O Tooles Pub. For some crazy reason, Joel was ready to eat more! Needless to say- we ordered more food...they had a bucket o fries that Joel was all about. He also started ordering shots...so I got drunk- fast.
He just wanted to take me back to the hotel so that we could get it on...and oh boy did we! I get so into it. Every touch just send tingles to me. He brings out my sexual side and desires more so then any other man has ever been able to do. That man can make me cum several times in a row!
I took a lot of random pictures this trip:
I love buildings!
This is taken from the court yard of the Wrigley Building. It is the one with the 
clock on it.Water Tower and some church court yard. I liked the arches.
