had no particularly destination to reach just that we
would get to downtown Chicago the next day. The drive
went pretty smooth except for some construction delays
and the occasionally crazy driver. We ended up at a
Holiday Inn in Indiana and finished up the drive
the next day! We got down to our hotel just after noon,
and went right out to start seeing things. We started at the
Aquarium, but it was so crowded and actually a little bit
of a let down, I think having been to the one in Atlanta
we are really spoiled and everything else sort of falls
short, but the city was great! We stayed in a great
location and could walk to most of the sites or take a
taxi, train or boat! The weather was pleasant and actually
got cold that evening when we rode the water taxi back
from Navy Pier. We had gone in search of Chicago style
pizza and really had no luck that night, gave up and ate then
enjoyed a ride on the huge ferris wheel on the pier. After
that we headed back towards the hotel on a water taxis and
enjoyed the view of the city and the sunset from the water taxi.
It was a great first day. I had thought I would blog the whole
trip at once, but after looking at the pictures its just too
much. So here is day One/two since we ended up taking two
days to get there!
Let the riding begin!
Illinois is quite green these days, both literally and
figuratively!
We arrived to a beautiful sunny day in the city!
In the Aquarium with all the other tourists in the
City of Chicago that day!
Ready for a ride on a very large Ferris wheel out on
the pier. It actually goes really slow and gives you an
amazing view of the lake and the city!
On to the water taxi for a ride back towards the end
our hotel is on, it was a great view of the city and
the sunset/moon rising!
Great end to a long day!
