way,
way back in march of 2013 i had to opportunity to travel to chicago for
a work trip. i'm embarrassed to admit that in my (at the time) almost
30 years of life, i'd never truly visited chicago. only the airport ;)
so. while we had a busy work schedule ahead of us, we left in time to
get there early and pack in some sightseeing in a few short hours the
afternoon and evening before our work really started.
we walked around the city and tried to see a few "big" things as quickly as possible. first we set out to find the bean in millennium park. i don't if you are allowed to visit this city without stopping at the bean! next we walked a little inside of the art institute of chicago
and shopped in their gift shop. they have so many amazing things in
that little shop, we could have stayed there for hours! since we were
on a time crunch, we had to hurry out of there... up next... the willis tower... you'll see that we made it to the skydeck just
before sunset and before the city got darker. the views really are
incredible (and i'm kind of in the tiniest bit afraid of heights!)
before heading back to the hotel, we stopped for pizza at giordano's. that is probably the best pizza i.have.ever.had.
it was off to the hotel and to bed. and then off to work the next day. at least i got to be a tourist for a few hours! i'm looking forward to going back with my family and doing a little more exploring... what an amazing city full of things to do!
enjoy the photos and happy friday the 13th my friends... have a wonderful weekend!!
