I left for Chicago on a foggy DC morning. Not looking forward to the cold, and traveling alone, I had to make a list of things to occupy my restless, wander-lusting spirit during my stint in the windy city. Number one: see a show at the famous Second City improv theater. Two: eat deep dish Chicago style pizza till I burst. Three: walk in the footsteps of a young couple madly in love.

Second City’s show was sidesplitting and my Giordano’s deep dish pizza was completely worth risking bathing suit season for. But walking the path of a young couple– who came from humble beginnings to eventually work their way up to the highest office in the world? Now that was priceless. Follow me as I walk down President Barack and First Lady Michele Obama’s footsteps in the beginning phases of their extraordinary romance.
