Day 1 - Chicago

Laze around with coffee and each other in the comfy rooms of the adorable Ardmore House B & B. When you're able to pry yourselves up and out, take a short walk south and west to the Fireside Restaurant for long lunch next to the roaring fire. Treat yourselves to a taxi ride down to the Music Box Theatre for a matinee full of hand-holding and cuddling. If you're in the mood, pop into a few of the cute boutiques south of the theatre on Southport Ave. Stop into Coobah (http://www.coobah.com/index.html) for a warming happy hour sangria and then make your way by taxi to the Violet Hour (http://www.theviolethour.com/). Snuggle up in a private nook and order a hot toddy and a few scrumptious small plates to share. After a few more toddys, take a very short walk north on Damen to Hot Chorolate (http://www.hotchocolatechicago.com/) for dessert of mind-blowing decadence. The sensual ambiance and rich treats will have you eating off of each others forks and loving every moment. If you're still up for more, hail a taxi up north to the Green Mill for some swanky jazz tunes in a dark and intimate setting. If you close the joint, consider grabbing early early morning coffee from your B & B and cuddling on Hollywood Beach to be the first to see the sun rise over Lake Michigan.
