 I couldn’t stop taking pictures.  This place is amazing!      Rest?  Definately!   We will be returning… hopefully soon!               

  Here is a little history of the place:        

The Greenbrier is an award-winning resort.   As a National Historic landmark, The Greenbrier’s classic architecture, exquisite interior design (by designer: Dorothy Draper), sculpted landscape, impeccable service and outstanding amenities have hosted distinguished guests from around the world since 1778.   This grand dame of hospitality has welcomed kings and queens, presidents and politicians, luminaries and celebrities from all corners of the globe.             During the Cold War, The Greenbrier was home to a secret “bunker” intended to house Congress in the event of an attack.   This renowned property offers 721 rooms, including 33 suites and 96 guest and estate houses.   Also the PGA Golf 2010 (July) will be held here.

Before Tracy’s Art Show, we spent some time downtown Chicago and Lincoln Park!   Although the weather was bad (raining and cold), we managed to walk around, shop and eat great restaurants!  My most favorite Restaurant is the Chicago Diner (Vegan/Vegetarian) located in Lincoln Park.    The Food was amazing!!

Time flies when you are having fun!
