Chicago Day 1

Here are a few pics from our first full day in Chicago. They are kinda in random order and these are just the highlights:

Navy Pier. We strolled the pier, shopped and rode the ferris wheel.

Buckingham Fountain.

Willis (formerly Sears) Tower. On the observation deck on the 103rd floor there are 3 boxes that you can step out into made of glass. While you are in there it feels like you are floating that high up. When you look down, all you see is the buildings and river below you. Freaky!

The Bean in Millineum Park. Cool statue that reflects the buildings around it.

The Art Institute of Chicago. Nice museum, but art museums aren't my favorite. I like the lions in the front.

The "L" Train. We rode on the elevated train/subway all week.


Uno's Pizzaria. Where deep dish Chicago Style pizza was invented. It was yummy but took 45 minutes to bake.

So we were going non stop all day and tried to fit in as much as possible. It was a great day!
