Good morning!!
Today's our last day.. which is bittersweet. We love being on vacay, but we also miss home sweet home!
Anyhow, our traditional Chicago bfast awaits us! Time to try out the Doughnut Vault! We already knew exactly how to get there, so it didn't take long. Sadly, they didn't have many to select from. They only stay open til like 2pm or until they sell out. I guess they're very popular and you gotta be an early riser to get the good stuff. No thanks! The spot was literally a hole in the wall. You walk in and the inside is probably about 10 feet long and 4 feet wide.

Anyhow.. They only had Buttermilk Old Fashion and an Almond Old Fasion w/ Vanilla Glaze.

They were alright. Glazed and Infused was way better. And our bar (Donuttery) is far too high. LOL.
Now that we had food in our stomachs and the weather was decent, we headed off to the very last spot to check out, Navy Pier. There honestly wasn't anything special about it. Santa Monica Pier puts it to shame. We did spend a long amount of time there, leisurely walking around. Guess it was enough time and energy spent because our appetites were back. Time for lunch!

Giordana's (the spot that competed against Gino's) wasn't far. We just took a bus up the street and walked the rest. The wait was still pretty long (about an hour or so). So we put our name down and then walked around. At least all the stores were open this time.
We checked out the Disney Store first, then hit up the Apple Store and Nike and then we got the text. Time to eats!

This time we ordered a deep dish that had meatballs in it. Must say, this is our fav!

Since we checked out all the sight seeing spots on our list, we had to at least try and get all the food spots on our list. There were a bunch that were too far to go to, but the one that we wanted to try was iCream, which was ice cream that was made fresh! They use Nitrogen to freeze it up super fast, which I thought was pretty cool! You get to watch the whole process. We got strawberry ice cream with oreos.

It was delicious, but nothing spectacular. The best part was when they made it for you.
That's it! No more food stops on our list, at least none nearby. We did want to get more donuts from Glazed and Infused. Jeric wanted one to share right now and then 2 more for our bfast tomorrow. Luckily there was one near us. But it was super small! Smaller than the Doughnut Vault. You order through the window and as you look inside, you see they only have a small booth inside of a restaurant/bar. Since they don't actually bake the donuts there, they only had a small selection. We got the maple bar with bacon for
